Åkeshofs slott

We stayed at Åkeshovs Slott two nights in the beginning of July this year. We didn't expect too much as all we wanted was a couple of days in the capital before going home. Though the area and surroundings are nice and quiet, and only a minute's walk from the underground station (you're in central town in 15 minutes), the room was basic, but satisfactory. On the plus side; comfortable beds and good showers, with good pressure and easy to adjust temperature. If you're travelling with car, parking is free and the underground train relatively cheap, Parking in central Stockholm is extremely expensive, so this is a good alternative On the negative side: not very easy to access the rooms (this was in an annex to the main building) with your luggage, unless you have your own car and can drive over the grass and stop close to the door. The breakfast was not brilliant. Not as much choice as you'd like. On our first morning they ran out of bread (we weren't late) and it took 20 minutes before any new bread appeared. Also, and this was partly our own fault, we missed breakfast completely on our leaving morning as they didn't open until 08.00. We were informed about the breakfast times on arrival but had forgotten by the time we were about to leave. We didn't expect a hotel breakfast not to open until 8! So in all, an acceptable experience but nothing that stood out.

We had a memorial service for my husband in Åkeshov castle. We had left exact requests about what should be served with coffee. Those wishes were not fulfilled and the cake (which was with loads of whipped cream which we had said no to) was also running out - and it did. The last drop was the incorrect invoice which was about five times as high as it should have been - we received someone else's invoice. Not so much that went right.

Too warm room and bad treatment when you give some feedback They blame that you have to solve it yourself I could not sleep at all Several who slept in the same building had the same experience So do not choose this hotel if you want to sleep
