Prisvärt boende i Motala

Bra hotell nära Motala centrum. Trevlig personal, snabb och enkel check in/checkout, bra och fritt wifi. Ingen hiss i byggnaden, bra att tänka på om man har svårt för att gå i trappor, i så fall boka rum på bottenvåningen. Bra frukost, fanns allt man behövde i trevlig miljö. Fint, rent men varmt rum, litet kylskåp på rummet, komfortabla sängar. Parkering på gatan alternativt på systerhotellet om hotellets P är full, inga problem att bli av med bilen. Överlag bra ställe

Trevligt hotell men tyvärr mycket slitet rum.

Frukosten och allmänna utrymmen var bra. Gratis parkering gäller endast ett fåtal platser. Vårt rum låg i suterängplan och var tyvärr mycket dåligt underhållet. Dålig ventilation, ej öppningsbart fönster, slarvigt upphängda mörkläggningsgardiner, eluttag tejpade och lösa sladdar på golvet. Bilderna på rum motsvarar definitivt inte det rum vi fick.

En säng att sova i och chans till tidig incheck..

Vi kom tidigt så vi fick checka in tidigare vilket var bra, men när vi kom upp till rummet så hade de inte ens påbörjat städningen i det rum vi fick, så ingen bra kommunikation emellan personalen. Vi fick inte koden för att komma in till hotellet efter receptionen stängt, den fick vi fråga efter. Restaurangen och receptionen stängde 20:00 på en lördag så det var tur vi frågade efter koden.. rummet var dåligt städat med damm och spindelnät bland annat på taklampan samt lortiga kakelfogar i duschen som också saknade duschvägg så hela badrummet blev blött. Frukosten var bake-off bröd med lite pålägg för att avslutas med ICAs minimuffins till kaffet. Vi hade en säng att sova i men det var inte mer än så. Ligger lite utanför centrala Motala än vad vi räknat med, hade nog varit roligare att bo mer i centrum för oss två.

Smutsigt!! Rekommenderar ej

Rekommenderar INTE detta hotell. - Smutsigt på rummet och på allmänna ytor. - Långa hårstrån låg kvar i sängen och det var dammigt på nästan varenda horistontell yta. - Mycket hårda sängar (vilket jag dock tyckte var skönt, så det är väl det enda pluset med detta boende). - Överpris för standarden. - barpersonal som inte visste hur man blandar en klassisk drink, så vi tog varsitt glas vin istället. - frukosten var godtagbar, gott kaffe men ganska tråkigt utbud och personal som inte ens hälsar eller noterar att man är där. Lägg dina pengar på ett annat hotell!

Mycket fint hotell med fina rum. En miss man gjorde var att inte tala om att man behövde ha en kod att öppna dörren efter kl 21. Vi blev utlåsta. Efter att ha ringt ett typ journummer så fick vi en kod för att komma in

Mysigt och fräscht

Mysigt och fräscht, drygt 2-300m från Motala Station. Rummet var något mindre än det såg ut att vara på bilderna. Sängen var skön, hotellfrukosten något mindre än jag är van vid men höll hög kvalitet. Personalen är trevlig och in och utcheckning smidig. Jag kan mycket väl tänka mig Carl Frimans Hotel igen!
