Djursholm Castle

I didn't like the fact that I had booked a property without a concierge! I know that was my fault and I don't plan to do it again. It's helpful, in a foreign country, to have someone to ask questions of (hotel receptionist) and someone who can book a taxi (also receptionist). But apart from that the accommodation was clean and well maintained, although there was an unwelcoming odour in the entrance lobby and the window frames needed painting. There was a welcome coffee corner with a great coffee machine and good quality tea bags. We bought breakfast vouchers for Brod andSalt that was 5 minutes away. Not the most attractive cafe but the food was fine and we ate outside each day, on the waterfront.

The basic rooms are super small. The lighting in the room was horrible. The bathroom was rather nice, with heated floors. The breakfast was wonderful, great selection, fresh food, and very nice servers.

While this is a great location and the staff are nice, it is expensive for such tiny rooms. Mine smelled musty. Also, they charge to store your luggage while you are waiting for your room to be ready.
