Hotell Järvsöbaden

The building and grounds are gorgeous, and the members of staff are lovely- so helpful and accommodating. We truly enjoyed a spectacular breakfast spread, with some delectable homemade goodies. Unfortunately, we arrived late and left early, so never got to use the facilities, which is what you pay for at a place like this. So for us, it was an expensive stay with not that much comfort. The beds were appropriate for more of a youth hostel or a hospital stay, with pillows akin to those you get for free on airplanes, and very thin, sparse duvets, contradictory to expectations, when staying in an arctic country during wintertime. The rooms are small, but that is to be expected with an old, gorgeously and accurately decorated historical building. Further, as is not uncommon in Scandinavia,- the double bed consists of two twins placed close together, so unless you and your partner have long outgrown closeness during the night, one of you may find yourself stuck in the steadily increasing crack between the two, slowly separating twin beds. The bathroom was clearly cleaned, as surfaces were shiny, but it appears the cleaning crew are avoiding cleaning with bleach (for admirable environmental reasons?), which has resulted in some significant mildew buildup on the grout. This is probably an unforgettable, historical stay, if you have time to utilize the beautiful facilities of the place and your focus is not a good night sleep in a dreamy, comfortable bed.

Nice place on the outside of the village. Restaurant menu could have more options, but the good is good.
