Hotel Bishops Arms Strängnäs, Strangnas

They take ACCOMMODATE OUT of...

Liked: NOTHING
Disliked: THE ABSOLUTE WORST! I have traveled by bicycle for 15 years all over the world and I have never felt so negative about a place to stay. It is IMPOSSIBLE to check-in early as the ENTIRE place is locked shut. I literally felt like a PRISONER here. The included breakfast was horrible and hidden on a different floor than you'd expect. It's impossible to enter the "lobby" in the morning to store your stuff while eating the hidden, horrible breakfast because, yes, IT IS LOCKED. They make you enter and exit from the rear of the place. There was NO ACCOMMODATING here! Terrible.

Overall very good other than...

Liked: Great location Bed was actually very comfortable Breakfast was better than the last times we have stayed Seemed more variety Fresh food The morning kitchen staff seemed friendly
Disliked: Probably nothing can be done but room gets very warm even with windows open I should have asked for a fan which I believe is provided on request The hotel does not have all of the amenities found in a very large city hotel. No staffed desk at all times I liked the Aeroguest digital key we had last year, but that did not seem to be available for this stay. I noted that if we lost our key and needed to get into the room, that the customer is responsible to pay the fee to Securitas to be let in. That is suprising!

You pay a lot for...

Liked: The breakfast was good for the size of the hotel.The staff and especially the restaurant manager was super friendly and helpful!Thanks!
Disliked: There were no AC or other fresh ventilation in the room. A fan was put in the room as a substitute. Didn't help at all during the hot summer night (became too hot in the room).I booked d a double room and actually expected a double bed instead of 2 separate beds. The beds and pillows were not comfy.

Exceptional

Nice hotel with good food...

Liked: Excellent breakfast with homemade bread, and the food in the hotel bar was totally OK. The room was nothing special but it served its purpose and that's good enough for the price. Good TV and WiFi.
Disliked: The hotel is unmanned when the hotel bar is closed, so you cannot check in until 4 PM. And after closing hour you'll need your room key to get in. So don't forget it if you plan for a late night.
