Good place to stay for a weekend

We were two girls staying for a little more than a weekend. The room was cozy and had a good kicthen with just enough supplies to make a good meal, close to nature and a good place to stay if your going by car.

Smultronställe

Ett nytt smultronställe som vi hittade. Vackert beläget vid Göta Kanal utanför Motala. Personalen var trevlig och behjälplig. Rummet mysigt och enkelt, sängarna var helt ok. Hit kommer vi tillbaka.

Mysigt och perfekt läge, allt bra! Men säng borde vara i bättre skick. Både själva sängen men också bäddmadrassen har gjort sitt och borde bytts ut för länge sedan.

Trevligt med fantastiskt läge!

Väldigt mysigt och välhållet, och toppen med ett eget litet kök i lägenheten! Helt ok sängar och en otippad bonus med tv på rummet (det ösregnade..). Vi bodde där i slutet av augusti vilket tydligt innebar lågsäsong: caféet hade stängt under den tid vi var där och incheckningen skedde på distans, men funkade bra ändå. Fantastiskt fint läge bredvid Göta Kanal och historisk fabriksmiljö, en lagom promenad till spännande sluss.
