Livgrenadjarmassen Hotell-Fest-Konferens

Do you remember those trips by bus witt football/volleyball/ice hockey team to small cities by bus and where you spent the nights then? This place has those vibes even though the standard is naturally higher than back then. There are several plusses and minuses some of which might be minuses and plusses to some one else. Plusses: Big parking space Spacious room (we had 2 bedrooms in one, the other room 2 bunk beds ie family on 6 would fit), also bathroom in good size and in good shape. Clean and very quiet Enough items in the breakfast preorder Good communication even though no reception already before arriving to the hotel and a number to call if any problems (where they also switfly answer the call). Beds in the adults room very comfy. Temperature was ok. Codes worked for doors unexpectedly well. Minuses: No traditional breakfast, needs to be preordered and comsumed in the room or small breakfast room. The other room had no windows, maybe bit dark for some one (it’s an old vault). Hotel kinda middle of nowhere, nothing nearby and even though the building is nice, the gravel parking lot in front of the hotel not too pretty. Something new being built next to hotel, probably quite noisy on weekdays. No elevator or traditional reception. Temperature can’t be changed. Parking costs also for hotel quests. …and couple of additional points; earliest check-in at 5 pm (!) and leave by 11 am. Now, five pm….6 hours for the hotel to clean up the few rooms there are…this is just too late. 3 pm is nowadays the norm, why on earth at 5pm? I would imagine many travellers have small town like Linköping as one night stop and will appreciate the chance of having shower etc after a long drive before late afteenoon. The breakfast room is small, but there is a small note in one of the tables saying there’s more space on the upper floor, it would be good to mention this somehere else as well. I didnt take notice and we had breakfast in the room since the breakfast room was filled with other guests. Also some environment concious person would have objections to the breakfast delivered to fridge in many many plastic small cups (I did not find recycling for plastic). Take note when you leave the room, you need the code to lock the door also when leaving the room. Check the address, bit tricky to find the exact buildind of the hotel (many similar looking buildings near to each other). All in all, this hotel suited the purpose we needed at decent price, but you need to consider if it’s for you or if something in the ”city” would suit better.

I wanted a hotel outside of the city centre with good car parking possibilities, and this place has it! The history of the building being an old Artillery Officers Mess has been lovingly retained. The rooms are really good with en-suite shower and wc. Would book again if to stay in Linköping!
