Hotell Aina

Very unique and beautiful interior - like a home. It’s a small hotel owned by a family. Friendly staff. Very comfortable bed. Cosy.

Everything was perfect.

The whole hotel and the rooms are very carefully decorated, with a nice mix of stylish vintage furniture. We really enjoyed the atmosphere! The staff was very nice

The bathroom looked a bit old school, but perfectly functioning and clean

The bedroom was well furnished with large double bed, cushions and a small sofa. Breakfast room good and you could use coffee and tea and plates etc when you wanted.

Shower could do with an upgrade to match the room. The weather was exceptionally warm so a better fan in the room would be better.

The proprietor or manager welcomed me to the hotel. She seemed genuinely friendly and was helpful and informative. In the morning the hotel provided a selection of cheese, ham, and other toppings for bread or crispbread, together with juice and coffee. I didn't ask for a cooked breakfast and do not know whether one is provided. Breakfast is served from 07:00.

The building is an old country house in the Swedish style, made of wood and decorated with fretwork. It would look a lot more appealing with a fresh coat of paint. The immediate surroundings of the house are not attractive. The property backs onto the main railway line between Sundsvall and Stockholm, while the front is a few metres from the old arterial road between the two cities, a road that is now much less busy than a few years ago, thanks to the new motorway that has replaced it further to the west. When I was there the road was under extensive repair, with heavy vehicles operating until quite late. The interior of the hotel is charming, with considerable attention given to cleanliness and quirky decorations, though it could certainly do with renovation. The (long and narrow) room was surprisingly quiet except for a continuous hum of central heating or air conditioning. The bed was an old-fashioned metal frame that was much more comfortable than it looked.
