Among the very few hotels in Västervik, this one is maybe the only one that deserves attention. The scary looking building and the dark history should not fool you, it's very modern and tastefully renovated to sort of alternative hotel. The larger rooms are quite OK, not claiming much luxury but very well furnished and super comfortable. The staff is great! The breakfast is standard but very good and quite enjoyable, as well as the common spaces around. Really interesting place, absolutely deserves a visit.

Fun place, hard to check in

Fun property but getting check in info required multiple calls, emails, and eventually Hotels.com intervention. Shouldn't be that much work by the guests to confirm check in and get a door code.

Trevligt boende i en lugn miljö. Kul att prova på ett litet rum. Det fungerade, men vi behöver större yta, om vi ska bo mer än en natt.

Jättefin utegård (gamla rastgården) med generöst med sittplatser och soffor. God frukost och även där möjlighet att sitta ute i antingen sol eller skugga. Lagom gångavstånd ned till vattnet och restaurangerna. 👍

Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Parkering ingår, vilket är ett stort plus. Ett välutrustat gemensamt kök som gästerna får använda. Eget litet kylskåp i köket med egen nyckel, vilket gör det smidigt att förvara sina matvaror.

Enda nackdelen var att väggen lutade vid fönstret så mörkläggningsgardinen släppte in mycket solljus i nederkant. Och eftersom fönstret var ovanför huvudsidan på sängen så fick man solen i ansiktet väldigt tidigt på morgonen.
