Reviews for Hotel Gyllene Uttern

Review 1：room and bathroom quite simple, street noise can still be heard (at least in winter without leaves on the trees)

Review 2：Very nice historical main building (old fortress/Castle) and awesome view over the lake. Good Restaurant with not too pricy menue and wine list. Gym and Sauna on the Hotel ground. Beautiful Little town GRÄNNA with really nice hot-Stone-meat Restaurant "MATLUST" - visit highly recommendable.

Review 3：Poorest choice of breakfast I've had for a long time. Large differences (space, furniture etc.) between same type of rooms.

Review 4：Location of the hotel is great!

Review 5：Low quality level of rooms and furniture in the annex building, noise isolation extremely poor. Partying group of youngsters prevented us sleeping between 2:00 - 4:30 am. Not recommendable to people looking a peaceful overnight stay. Wi-fi useless most of the time.

Review 6：Dinner service, quality of food. Magnificent location and view.

Review 7：A minor complaint - no plug for the washbasin in the bathroom. It does not sit well with their 'environmental statement'. Swedish friends do not find this a problem! Hot water was a little sparse at busy times.

Review 8：Situation by the lake. Good sized room, friendly staff and good food. The relaxed atmosphere was very welcome

Review 9：Had difficulty locating it as we were relying on a sat nav and there was no street name provided and we questioned being directed to a motorway service station!

Review 10：watching the sunset whilst we dined

Review 11：We were in the annex about 200yds from the hotel and restaurant. Wifi only reached one end of the annex. We were at the other end. Whilst the linen was all very clean it was well used and becoming thin in places. Generally the overall impression was one of tiredness

Review 12：The location overlooking the lake from high up had a panoramic view. It was also very convenient as we were touring being very close to the E4 route heading toward Stockholm. Delightful walk down by the edge of the lake. Food all very good. We visited early September which we hadn't realised was going out of season so the restaurant and cafe were not open all the time

Review 13：We had a wonderful dinner, great food, especially the Vaettern Roeding and the staff was very attentive and professional. We will choose this route from now on, we live in Canada and spend five weeks in Finland every Summer and travel through Sweden on the way home. Great experience.

Review 14：It was very peculiar to notice that on our question in English, the reception desk responded the whole time in Swedish. Not such a problem since we understood some Swedish. It was quite annoying that our use of Swedish in the restaurant all the time resulted into a response in Englisch by the waiter. We have had better experiences with that subject. During our multi-day stay we received an email from the hotel that we did not pay for our restaurant bill. Of course not, since I asked to charge the bill to my room number. Clumsy! All was settled well shortly after our departure.

Review 15：Setting of the hotel high on the banks of Lake Vättern; absolutely stunning views from the terrace. Ample parking space and easy access to motorway.

Review 16：-

Review 17：Nice room with an excellent view for a price not exceeding the price of a room at an ordinary hotel. Very nice restaurant. Complementary cofee in a lounge overlooking the lake.

Review 18：The location of this hotel is beautiful. We had a stunning view of the lake from our rooms. The room was spacious and very comfortable and the hotel restaurant is excellent. We stayed in the annex, but it is only a short walk from the main building.

Review 19：Besutiful location

Review 20：The hotel is quite tired, and the internet was very poor. Rooms are dated.

Review 21：Beautiful location with pretty walk down to lake

Review 22：Liked the churches in nearby parishes and the ruins on Visingjo.

Review 23：Location is great, peaceful and quiet.

Review 24：We liked the design and decorations of the main building. It felt like we were eating in a castle.

Review 25：Nice clean room.

Review 26：Shower room was cold.

Review 27：seasonal manu of dinner was very tasty. parking has enough space and security cameras are there.

Review 28：A good halfway point between Stockholm and the west coast and close to Vadstena. Most rooms should have nice lake views.

Review 29：Rooms are really basic, totally overpriced

Review 30：Location, the view of the lake from the window is awesome, the terrace for the breakfast is great.

Review 31：Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Review 32：The view from our room. The beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The spaciousness of our room.

Review 33：The pillows we had were useless. Not sure how the firm ones would have been

Review 34：Our room was in Annex 2 which, outwardly, was somewhat scruffy. The room was stuffy. Restaurant was over-priced.

Review 35：Large comfortable room with stunning views of Lake Vattern. Great location en route to Malmo. Extensive terrace overlooking the lake.

Review 36：Hotel personnel was not present at the desk in the morning when most guests want to pay and leave. expensive hotel for the "comfort" it offers. Very old TV sets, "IKEA" furniture in the rooms. It is high time to refurbish the hotel part!

Review 37：The restaurant is excellent, and very well located with the splendid view over Lake Vättern,

Review 38：Staff was not knowledgeably concerning wine selection in bar or sauna facilities and didn't seem to care that they didn't know.

Review 39：Beautiful setting on lake. Elegant dining room for breakfast and dinner. The hotel terrace would have been a wonderful view of sunset in warmer months. Our room was in the annex and very modern and extremely comfortable. Easy to find and parking was on-site.

Review 40：a bit too expensive.. it is not so easy to understand that the hotel is divided in three buidings and the one you see in the photo is just the reception and the restaurant (very nice).

Review 41：The location, the breakfast room, the silence.

Review 42：Maybe we were lucky but no issues. I would recommend to anyone.

Review 43：the location is outstanding and as a break (driving between Copenhagen and Stockholm) it could not have been more welcome. Rooms were a high standard and the restaurant was up with the best.

Review 44：Breakfast only served in the main building, so you have to walk your way from the secondary buildings, which could be annoying in bad weather. WiFi worked good but only with time-limited access (8 hours per device).

Review 45：The main building has a very nice, historic atmosphere. Surrounding buildings had (unfortunately) less of that atmosphere but were very comfortable and spacious, and had a great view on the lake. Breakfast was good and served in a room with a nice "old" atmosphere in the main building.

Review 46：Very little! Some people might find the short (2 mins) walk from the annex to the main building for breakfast/dinner annoying but I liked the breath of fresh air.

Review 47：Stunning location, total silence at night, comfortable room (in the Annex), amazing breakfast, terrific dinner, laid back and friendly vibe, free wifi (ask for 24 hour vouchers otherwise you'll be returning twice a day for the 8 hour ones)

Review 48：It would have been nice with AC in the room in a 4 star hotell, the room became quite warm during the day. Rather dull breakfast,

Review 49：Beautiful surroundings, easy to access, easy to park.

Review 50：Being unable to sit by the lake view window, despite there being an available table - the waiter would not set it for us! However, our waitress was very nice and made up for his lack of malleability.

Review 51：The room was spotless and we had a good view of the lake. The coffee and tea available after meals was a great idea and we liked very much. We would go back again

Review 52：It'a bit too luxury (candles on etc.) to go to breakfast to the restaurant, hence we ended up taking turns and feeding the kids in room.

Review 53：Wonderful view and good restaurant.

Review 54：Room was nice, spacey even with extra bed. Quite hot, but opening windows helped a lot, nice lake wind. Nice view. Super breakfast and terrace cafe. Friendly staff.

Review 55：No iron in the room. Key very bulky and heavy (not all that important but since you asked....).

Review 56：Beautiful setting. Great location. Excellent food and beverage options. Clean and comfortable room.

Review 57：Perfect place to stay at Gränna. We traveled with one 7-year old daughter and she got a doublesize sofa-bed for her only. Very friendly and cosy atmosphere. Excellent food!

Review 58：The radiator in the bathroom- much too hot and didn't seem to beable to turn it down. Needs a warning sign for children not to touch it.

Review 59：The large spacious rooms. The helpfulness of staff. Room very clean butthe annexe rooms are a bit dated and in need of some renovation exceptfor the bathroom which was great. Loved the living plants rooves ofsome of the buildings and the main building is majestic. Plenty ofparking spaces.

Review 60：ADA accessibility is mixed to poor and should be worked on.

Review 61：Dinner meals are excellent. Breakfast buffet is varied and excellent. Public areas are excellent and rooms vary. Bathroom design is superb and very contemporary.

Review 62：almost everything. The location on the lake is wonderful, the hotel ambience terrific. Food was very good..... Overall Great experience.... we wish our stay was longer!

Review 63：. Room was merely adequate and did not measure up to price

Review 64：. Beautiful setting and grounds . Breakfast buffet was incredible
