The 1st thing to remember is you are in Sweden and everything expensive . However if you want a…read morehotel that works with friendly and accommodating staff , a great chef who provides interesting and delicious food , clean well looked after rooms with a modern Scandinavian feel , then stay here. I came here almost a year ago and have not left . I think around 35 nights so far this year . Breakfast and WiFi is included in your rate. Both of which work. The breakfast has fresh real food which tastes good and catered for meat eater, vegs, vegans, glutton free etc. What can I say I stay here every time but its is Sweden so it's not cheap. Good value for money but not cheap. The staff are great .

What an incredible place! Upon arrival, the host poured us some libations and invited us upstairs…read moreto relax and look around. This place should be a museum! The photos I provide with this review cannot do the property justice. The fact that you can walk around all the art and antiques with no one supervising your visit, is unbelievable! Our room was in the annex, so it was more modern and not filled with antiquities. The room was quite comfortable and did have a flat screen TV. It was also extremely quiet. We dined in the castle, but before we were seated we had the opportunity to meet a gentleman named Ralph. Ralph is 85 years old and was born at the property! We exchanged stories and shared drinks for a while before he showed us to the dining room, what a treat! Dinner? AMAZING! Best dinner we would experience at a lodging in our month in Scandinavia. We started with a fish tartare, toasted brioche, asparagus and greens called rocket. Next was beef, roasted perfectly, with a fantastic rich brown gravy, diced onions and veggies and a wedge of a potato rosti. Last was a sorbet, meringue and a fudge like pastry. We had the wine pairing which proved to have EXTREMELY GENEROUS pours, great selections and was the most reasonable we would see on our entire holiday! Tres magnifique! Breakfast was equally impressive. If you have the opportunity to stay at Vastana Slott, you will not be disappointed! Humbly submitted, Moi

The breakfast buffet here was one of the best we had during our two weeks - good selection, quality, and flavor. We were passing through this area on the way to Stockholm and only needed a hotel as a functional pit stop, and yet this hotel made the experience surprisingly pleasant and memorable.

Great hotel with a nice restaurant and spa. What differentiates this hotel is the friendliness of…read morethe staff. I visit this hotel frequently due to business commitments and the staff really makes me feel at home and welcome. The standard rooms are a bit small but have really comfortable beds. I would recommend to go for an upgrade as you would get a much larger room. The spa is very relaxing and the entry fee is very low on weekdays. The restaurant is a little bit pricey but the food quality is great and the portions are large. I do recommend the frequent visitors to enter the loyalty program.

Driving from Gothenburg to Stockholm (or vice versa), you pass by perhaps Sweden's prettiest lake -…read moreLake Vättern. It's a gorgeously blue lake rimmed by hills. Gyllene Uttern (Golden otter) is a lovely hotel and café along the eastern shore and a perfect rest spot with a scenic vista to enjoy a Swedish fika (Jause in Austrian, coffee break in English). The café here serves up various teas and coffees along with your favorite Swedish sweets (think Kanelbullar). Of course there are more substantial dishes as well and the Räksmörgås (shrimp sandwich) is excellent. On a sunny day enjoy your treats on the open air terrace overlooking Lake Vattern. If it is too cool, don't worry. There are large picture windows in the café looking towards the lake. A stop at Gyllene Uttern leaves you completely refreshed and sufficiently refueled to continue on to Stockholm!

Nothing amazing but a very decent road stop.

The atmosphere was nice yet casual - relaxed and warm. The service was excellent, as was the extensive Swedish and international beer list. The food though was average - nothing excellent and not worth the typical higher Swedish price point at all. A $30 usd dessert described as a baked chocolate trio was literally three chocolate bites the size of Andes mints. We got it to go and they brought it to us in a snack sized plastic baggy. I'll spend that on a dessert at a restaurant whose ambiance and menu warrants it. It's a pub, with pub food. The food was 3 stars so the overall average rating is 4. Visit De Klomp on a night you're in the mood for excellent beer and and excellent service, but don't go for the spendy (by American standards - pretty typical for Sweden) pub food.
