Åkerblads Gästgiveri Hotell Spa

Its always a pleasure to visit Tällberg and Åkerblads. For business or pleasure. Next time I’ll bring my family.

I have stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions and have always loved the charm and family feel. When we arrived it was assumed I had never stayed there before- obviously they did not check - our name is unusual and we have stayed there at least 5 times. So much for the family hospitality. This particular trip we were offered a room that was quite small and did not look onto the lake. Sweden was experiencing a hot spell and the room was stifling warm - there was only one window. We also found the bathroom - especially the shower - to be smaller than the norm. We went down to ask for another bigger room with a lake view and were told that these were junior suites. I have stayed in these lake facing rooms before and I was never charged more than a basic room rate. We could have this room if we agreed to pay approximately an extra $150 for the 2 nights-which we did. The room was charming and had a balconly door we could open in an attempt to cool the room. The room, was meticulously clean but needed an update or at least some repair. The wall paper in the sitting area of the room was peeling in multiple locations. The restaurant, as many have commented, is overpriced. You need to tell them you are coming and then - in the afternoon a menu is presented. I do not eat red meat and told them so. The menu featured two appetizers - a baked egg or a reindeer meat plate. Whenever I eat there, and tell them I do not eat meat, they offer a $12 egg appetizer.
