Gripsholms Värdshus

Great location! Beautiful bedroom and view, the breakfast options were perfect, and the hotel has been kept up in impeccable shape! Everything was so pretty.

There are a few spider webs in the room, and I think it could have been cleaned more thoroughly.

Great location. Cosy vibe

Bed (as are most in Sweden) was far too soft

Location, building

Poor service in the restaurant. Three staff stood talking with each other completely ignoring our table. The reception did not charge us the extra cost for bringing two dogs when checking in, nether when we checked out. W e thought everything was prepaid and ok but they called and asked for Mastercard info when we were almost back home.

Very nice „historical“ environment, cosy and clean

Staff was really kind. Breakfast was excellent and classy. Facility is charming and pretty stunning. Overall, our staying was amazing and we will definitely come back :)

In Booking the facility was listed as dog friendly, therefore I would have expected my small dog to have full access to the restaurant area and not just to the closeby rooms, as it is possible in many restaurants in Stockholm and other big cities. Besides, a small fridge in the rooms was needed for people who nave necessity to store important medicines cold.

The location is great. A few minutes walk from the restaurants and the waterside. They have their own restaurant and they accommodated the little one's needs. Lovely and clean hotel. Spacious bathroom, good size bedroom with lots of storage space. Breakfast full of variety and fresh food. Friendly reception. Loved our stay. Thank you for your kindness.

We loved our stay at the Gripsholms Värdshus. It is a charming collection of old buildings (almost like a tiny village) with a really lovely feel and atmosphere. We had a lake view room, though the trees were quite large and not much of a view - but that did not matter as we were keen to explore the charming village of Mariefred. The hotel has a huge outdoor garden and we were able to enjoy the multiple areas of the outdoor lounge and bar. The position of the hotel could not be better - right in the heart of Mariefred, on the edge of a fjord and overlooking the amazing castle (definitely worth a visit). Overall, a lovely stay and would recommend it.

A few issues:- the rooms were renovated a long time ago so the bathrooms are tired and the grout on the floor and wall are mouldy. Could do with a deep clean. The shower curtains should be replaced more often.- the breakfast buffet was OK but not as good as other hotels we had stayed in during our trip. Of particular annoyance was the fact that they do not offer normal milk - only soy, oat and lactose free. Even other Swedish guests were surprised!- for the price and size of the room, we were surprised that there was no bar fridge or tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

The location, the rooms, the breakfast and it was very pretty interior.

In my room the tap/faucet in the bath was next to impossible to turn. It was very hot and I couldn't fix it. Nor could anyone in my family. We had to take cold tap water in a cup and pour severe times to regulate the temperature. The reception was closed so I formed them of this inconvenience in the morning.

The location is great, right on the board walk. The service is excellent and so is the restaurant. The public areas of the hotel are very nice.

The room is very "simple" but we knew from the photos. The bath was a bit old.

The location overlooking the water at the castle was wonderful. The room was comfortable and bathroom and shower were very modern. Restaurant is very nice but pricey (most likely because of location). Breakfast was good.

Parking in the area is very challenging. Front desk was closed from about 9 pm to 8 am. No access at all to anyone from hotel. We had to store some medicine in a refrigerator and desk staff said no problem and put it in a refrigerator in kitchen or area behind reception. Unfortunately we could not get timely access to it and had to wait until 8 am. That did not work well for us. If we had just had a heads up about the closure when they took the medication from us it would have helped immensely.

Friendly staff, well organized overall, kids friendly with areas for them to play, good breakfast and restaurant, calm and in a perfect location.

Mainly two points:- The shower setup in the bathroom could have been better, as the floor normally got wet after a shower, including the mat, which wasn’t great.- The restaurant menu could include more kids options.

We loved this hotel and would definitely like to visit again! Very welcoming and homely and we had a delicious dinner outside. We were lucky with the weather and there were plenty of sofas and garden seating to just sit and enjoy the views of the lake and castle.

I’m trying to think of something here…

Location by the lake was great. Room was spacious and comfortable with a nice view of the lake. We ate in the bar where the service and food were very good.

There was no air conditioning. We travelled late spring and it was quite warm so needed the windows open and the fan which was provided.

This is a fantastic place to stay in Mariefred. The location is perfect, beautiful grounds, great breakfast and very friendly staff.

Shower can be updated

Stayd the first night at the red house that was not so nice, but got room nr 202 next night and that was very nice.Very nice and helpful young lady at the reception that changed the room for us.

We had dinner the first night with five people and this is the first time we all have got popcorn in a paper bag before we got the food and drinks, and the dinner was disappointment.

Perfectly located with a great view of Gripsholms Slott. Staff were fantastic and friendly. Our room was large and had everything you needed. Its got a period look and feel, which was charming, but the room had everything you would need from a modern hotel. Loved that it was a later checkout on Sunday, which meant we didn't have to rush.

Wifi was a bit fiddly to get onto but once connected it was fine.

Centrally located and old world feel. Great views and a wonderful aesthetic.

We really liked the location, the building, the outdoor areas, and the gardens. The room was beautiful, the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very helpful. The town is fantastic. The Skänken restaurant was beautiful inside. It was easy to park.

We didn't like the breakfast as much because there was no decaffinated coffee or cafe latte included. You had to pay extra. Swedish breakfasts usually serve some type of dark rye breads, but not here. Some herring would be nice with the eggs

Comfortable room good location

Parking was away from hotel property and inconvenient

Location

Food and wine list weren’t up to scratch for such a lovely location. Old fashioned wine and food. Not awful but not what you expect in Europe.
