Very Good

The room is a bit small and lacks some basics such as wardrobe and kitchen utensils to cook (this you will get from the owner). However, the owners outweights this with an amazing breakfast and service. The veranda is also a big plus! I would happily go back
Jätte fräscht rum samt vänlig och tillmötesgående ägare. Prisvärt boende rekommenderas.

Bra läge - helt ok ställe
Helt ok för en natts sömn. Rummen ligger i samma hus som Sjötorps livs och där checkar man in samt hämtar sin frukostbricka.
Utsikt över kanalen som det står på hotels.com för vissa rum stämmer egentligen inte, du ser kanalbron från rummen men den verkliga utsikten är antingen landsvägen eller en innergård. Rummet var helt ok, enda problemet ett felbyggt badrum vilket gjorde golvet genomblött när man duschade.
Vänliga människor i butiken och man gjorde verkligen allt för att gästerna skall trivas, plus också för en härlig terass med utemöbler och ett bra wifi, gratis och snabbt. Väl fungerande kylskåp, två kokplattor och enkel köksutrustning fanns också tillgängligt. Dessutom fri parkering
Stället är lite slitet och skulle må bra av lite uppfräschning, men överlag en helt ok övernattning för ett rimligt pris. Läget är perfekt (bortsett från utsikten), nära kanalen och slussarna och de restauranger, butiker och caféer som ligger i anslutning till den.
Bra sängar men fick bädda själv. Bra frukost men fick hämta själv i butiken. Enkelt boende med endast tvål vid handfatet. Alltför dyrt i förhållande till standard.
Kan absolut inte kallas de luxe rum. Står i beskrivning att det är utsikt mot kanalen. Ligger vid bilväg.
Jättetrevligt bemötande av ägarna/personalen.
Enda minus var att duschgolvet hade fel lutning så det blev väldigt blött över hela badrummet när man duschat. Annars var allt jättebra. 😊 Mysigt område.
Venninner på sykkeltur. Kjempekoselig rom og bad, deilig med egen inngang, og terrasse. Fantastisk beliggenhet, og kjempekoselige, og ikke minst imøtekommende og hjelpsomt vertskap.
Veldig god frokost.

Enkelt fungerande boende med trevlig värd och naturfint område med sluss och hamn samt starten på fin cykling intill Göta kanal.

Fint opphold. Enkel standard, men hyggelig vert og god frokost. Rent og ordentlig. Grei seng, men madrassen skled ut så den måtte skyves tilbake et par ganger.
Rent og helt greit. Gode senger. God frokost. Måtte spørre om dette ved ankomst. Savnet mulighet for lading av el- bil.
Totaltsett er dette en plass vi gjerne kommer tilbake til.

Bra overnattingssted
Dette var en fin plass å overnatte. Vi kom sent og dro tidlig, så vi utnyttet ikke alle fasilitetene. God seng og rent, og god dusj.
Vi blev väl mottagna vid incheckningen. Rummet är ganska litet men väldisponerat och rent. Allt finns som man behöver. Dessutom en jättefin uteplats som hör till rummet. Bilen parkeras alldeles utanför rummet. Frukosten hämtas i butiken och sätts samman enligt önskemål. Fräscht och gott.
Vi fick ett fint mottagande vid ankomsten då vi hämtade nyckeln i butiken i samma hus. Vi valde frukost kl 0800 som vi hämtade på en bricka i butiken. Rummet hade spis,vattenkokare ,micro,porslin ,bestick,ett bord o två stolar.
Sängarna var mycket mjuka till min frus förtjusning. Oviktigt för oss men::
Tv fanns inte. Rummet var aningen trångt
Vi stannade en natt.Trevligt bemötande och god brickfrukost som man fick hämta själva i receptionen/ affären.
Sköna sängar som man fick bädda i och ur själv. Duschen var fin men helt fel fall så vattnet rann ut över toagolvet. Tvål endast vid handfatet.
Väldigt varmt på rummet och tyvärr en fläkt som inte fungerade.
Med tanke på standard/ service så var rumspriset ganska högt.
