3 Stars Hotels in Dalarna, Sweden

Some enthusiasts are renting themselves out on the party floor of this charming little worn hotel that looks charming from the outside. Bar on, several places in the hotel make sure no one needs to thirst during this Hedemora out and loud event. In general, there seems to be a need to renovate large parts of the establishment, but I guess the set is not on the agenda.

We found the front door closed when we arrived, but Magnus, one of the two owners, answered the phone promptly and arrived within minutes. The door seems to be kept locked when reception is closed, but you can enter 24/7 with a passcode. Magnus was extremely friendly and assigned us two single rooms on the third floor. The rooms were of reasonable size, recently renovated, clean and in good condition. The furniture was mostly from Ikea, which I guess is suitable for a Swedish hotel. The bed was narrow but comfortable, and there was a desk and a chair & coffee table. No safe. On the downside, the rooms were a bit on the cold side, and the curtains couldn’t really keep the light out too well. The bathrooms were small but clean and in good condition. There was a shower (both overhead as well as hand-held) with acceptable water pressure. Amenities included wall-mounted containers of soap, shampoo and conditioner. The toilet paper was cheap, thin and hard and would need an upgrade, or bring your own. Breakfast was included in the room rate. It was a buffet with basic Scandinavian hot and cold items and gave you a good start of the day. Breakfast was served 6:30–9:30 on weekdays and 8–10 on weekends. Additionally, complimentary coffee and cookies were available during the day. Parking was available on site for 75 SEK / 24 hours. The hotel has an excellent location in the pedestrian zone in the centre, close to several restaurants. At 103 € for a single room with breakfast, it was expensive for a three-star, but there’s little competition in town.

Got one of the 2 rooms in a separate building. Apart from the hotel, there are also small cottages suitable for families. The breakfast buffet was good and in good weather it’s possible to sit outside on the small terrace. In the evening we ate a burger which was a disappointment. It didn’t feel home made, but more like it had come straight from the freezer to the frying pan. Location is excellent and the view over the big lawns beautiful. There’s a big terrace, where guests can overlook the nice views. One afternoon a deer was crossing the car park.
