The common areas were nicely furnished, the breakfast and staff were very good. Our room was quite small and no in-room coffee or tea. Mostly ok but expensive,

The oldest hotel in Sweden!
An historic small hotel with a great & convenient location in northern Bohuslän. Very personal and nice service! Sorry to say but my dinner rained in as the restaurant is located in a different building. That's ok, I will be back! Maybe for julbord...

Super friendly and efficient staff. A charming historic and conveniently located hotel. Nice front patio for sitting outdoors and enjoying a cold drink on a summer day. Two small things I would improve: (1) there was no rack for my suitcase, so I had to keep it on the floor; (2) it would be nice to have separate shampoo and bath soap instead of a single dispenser with "soap" in the shower. I would be happy to stay here again.

Great hotel, beware of dinner
This is a lovely hotel, situated on pleasant grounds. Comfortable chairs outside and on the lobby encourage relaxation and conversation. BUT perhaps it was just the night we were there but the dinner was a buffet offering a rather meager selection of nondescript seafood which cost us (for two) about $175! So check it out before you commit.

Hello, Thanks for your Review. The buffet dinner in the restaurant is very expensiv and exlusive buffet and is one of our most popular. It is so popular so normal the restaurant is fully booked. The price of 595:- SEK per person i absolut normal and that is what we have to take. The buffe is a taste of Bohuslän and Swedish westcoast. Warm welcome back.

I definitely love this hotel. Although it is a little pricy, it is decorated so beautifully and just like a nice home. When we checked in, the lady gave us a warmly welcome and a detailed introduction about the town and surroundings. The little notes in the yard and in the room introduce the owner's family and trees and location...... I am so happy to read all of them! The hotel is only less than 10 minute drive to the sea. Very convenient. The breakfast is so good with many foods. I will surely recommend to my friends!

Nice, convenient, but pricey
Tanums Gestgiferi was very comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and breakfast buffet excellent. The location is very convenient and well within walking distance to the town's grocery store, and even to the Vitlycke Museum, if you are up to braving the narrow road without a sidewalk (I did). If I had been staying longer I would have liked to have a small fridge in the room to store perishable food items. Other than that, it is a very nice accommodation, just expensive for a budget solo traveller.

Embarrassment for a Swedish patriot
Tanums Gestgifveri used to be a fantastic facility. Excellent food and a very romantic setting. It has been downgraded to a standard below what you expect from a $20.00 motel. The food was hated up chewy mussels probably cooked early that morning or the day before, the main cource consisted of dry fish complemented by something similar to rice porridge. A HUGE disappointment and an embarrassment for a swede proud of the hospitality business in my old homeland!

Hej. Tack för omdömet. Vad tråkigt att Ni inte gillar vår renovering av hotellet som var i stor behov när vi tog över det för 6 år sedan. När det gäller middagen beklagar vi att Ni blev missnöjda. Du får gärna kontakta oss angående detta då vi inte känner igen maten du beskriver, musslor har vi inte på menyn och ej heller fisk med ris. Varmt välkomna åter // Andreas

Classic Swedish country hotel close to motorway.
nice cute classic Swedish style hotel just off the main motorway near the Swedish / Norwegian border, 5 mins from the motorway, ample parking. Warmly greeted, usual basic features and good wifi. My radiator didn't work in my room and I did not bring it to their attention as it wasn't that cold the night of my stay, but room was comfortable despite this issue.Breakfast standard fayre but more than adequate. Nice little stopover would use again and recommend it. Romantic enough for the other half too for a night. Don't expect too much activity in the town or hotel if arriving late during the week.

Comfortable hotel with friendly staff
Interesting traditionally furnished hotel, with very good restaurant. Room was ccomfortable, if lacking coffee/tea-making facilities. A hook for the shower attachment over the bath would be useful. Tanum itself has little of interest but is reasonably central for other sites and coastal villages.

Close to Tanum Stone Carvings
We chose Tanum's Gestgifveri because it is close to the Tanum stone carvings. We returned for a second night because we weren't able to view all the sites with stone carvings near Tanum in one day. A clean, comfortable hotel with the ambiance of a country inn.

Only Place in Town
We stayed at Gestgifveri because it was the closest hotel to the Tanum stone carvings. In addition to the location, it had the feel of an older, one-of-a-kind hotel that we really like. Established in 1663, it has been renovated many times since. The current hotel struck us as pre-war rural inn; nothing fancy but perfectly adequate. The stone carvings are not to be missed. We spent so much time looking at them that we booked a second night at Gestgifveri so we could view all the sites.

A real Scandinavian hotel
In an era of homogenous chain hotels, it is rare to find an independent property that offers real quality. If you like a genuine Swedish hotel, with friendly people running it, then book this one. The breakfast was particularly nice, no generic scrambled eggs and bacon, but a proper Nordic selection, including 4 types of Sill (herring.) If passing this way again, I would book without hesitation. The hotel is located quite near to the E6 between Gothenburg (about 150km) and Oslo (about 160km), which is why I chose it and this makes it very convenient for travellers visiting both cities and needing to stay the night in-between. Definitely recommended.

Hyggelig overnattingssted.
Andre gang vi besøker stedet. Hjemmekoselig, rent og pent. Hyggelig personal. Resepsjonen er ikke betjente 24/7, så greit å være oppmerksom på når man kommer og går hvis man har spørsmål eller trenger noe. Ellers er dette et sted å anbefale.

Rollatordagarna.
Allt var jättebra,men eftersom min man har svårt att gå några trappsteg när han har rollator så kunde vi inte ha sweeten som vi hade fått och då fick vi ett ganska trångt dubbelrum,så han fick inte in rollatorn där,sedan fick vi ett något större rum så det gick lite bättre,i övrigt var vi mycket nöjda. Tack så mycket.

Det var innsjekking kl. 15. Vi kom litt før, kl. 14.30 og da var dørene låste. Vi kom ikkje inn før klokken 15 når de låste opp. Vi måtte sitte ute og vente samtidig som det var folk inne på hotellet. Ugunstig siden min far på 80 år frøs. Ellers, fine rom, gode senger og god frokost.
