Brunsbo G:a Biskopsgård Hotell & Konferens, Skara

Remote rest in a vintage...

Liked: Very calm and remote area away from city and industry. Genuine vintage buildings with lots of authenticity. If you want to get back in time - this place is for you!
Disliked: Clogged shower drain, apart from that not much else.

A little pearl in the...

Liked: Perfect little hotel, "Kulturmärkt" which means they can't change a lot of the house since it's protected.The breakfast is really good (love the waffles) and abundant.The rooms are old style with birds nest windows but the ambiance on the surrounding makes the perfect.The bed is soft and cosy.The restaurant itself is worth a visit alone, the quality on the food is up there next to any classier and fancier and more expensive restaurants in the big cities.The chef tries to use the local and also the season ingrediants and they turn out delicious food for modest prices.The staff is friendly and attentive to keep you happy and satisfied, while you are there get to know a little bit of the history of the place that started in the way back in the 400 and from roughly 1000 it started it's form up until 1900 when it sort of had it's last major reconstruction.It has a lot of historical connections to both royalty and to the church.I can really recommend the place if not for the food itself.Try the Toast skagen, The Bookmaker or their speciality Stjarneskud... perfect with a beer or two.Nice and quiet surrounding but still close to the main road without it is disturbing the peace.They also have a sauna and a barrel tub.

Great setting, but the apartment...

Liked: Great and charming setting, with the historical buildings and wonderful park/garden area. Perfect location for visiting Skara sommerland. Good breakfast and good food at the resturant. Very friendly staff. Spacious apartment. Good outdoor space for the kids to play in.
Disliked: The standard of the apartment could have been better and did not match the photos. Especially, the bathroom was not the best. The showerhead could use replacing and the toilet lid fell off. It got hot when the weather was warm, so fans would have been good to have. The dusting could have been more thorough. We had to request all in-room services. It would have been nice if the garbage was emptied and new towels were provided on a regular basis.

Exceptional

Very poor

Disliked: We booked a twin room but got a double bed. The room was so small we could hardly turn around. There were stains on the walls (mold). There were torn paper signs on the door.The room appeared shabby.Reception was supposed to be open until 23 pm. We arrived one evening at around 22:55 and everything was locked.

Very good
