We booked the Room-service package in a suite and had accommodation in a suite with jacuzzi located in the Manor house. The reception is located in a separate building that looked like a 80s conference building, this was a bit disappointing. After check in we got directed to the Manor house. When entering the Manor it was impressive, walking up to the second floor, it becomes apparent that it’s starting to get old. We got to our room and it’s size was very nice with a separate sitting area with sofa and armchairs, bedroom area with the bathroom. But unfortunately the room was not well cleaned at all. A lot of sand on the carpet, dust in every corner and in the middle of the floor. Sheets and towels seemed clean, there was morning gowns available for loan in the suite. The bed itself was comfortable, very high up so you have to climb a bit, but fluffy duvets and pillows. There is a minibar available in the room.|Dinner and breakfast is served in the suite, from the castle kitchen. A three course dinner, is delivered to the room, all dishes are delivered at the same time, packed in boxes. You get a large box to pack used plates and cutlery in it and put it outside after dinner. If you want wine with the food, I would recommend to bring your own, the selection in the reception is not paired with any of the food. Next morning a breakfast bag with sandwiches, fruit, juice and coffee is delivered to the room. For coffee you have a Dulce Gusto machine in the room, and you get capsules with the breakfast bag. |The surrounding area with the garden is open to the public, and there was a huge amount of people walking just outside the Manor house, many of them barbecuing, playing games, shouting, so note that it is not a relaxing area during good weather. It can be very difficult to get parking if the garden is full...
Read moreI booked a visit and a Christmas dinner buffet from my country of residence, this was to be the highlight of the trip to Sweden, and a family and friends’ gathering.||Being quite costly, a few local dine here, My local friends’ had recommended this particular Christmas buffet. ||A hot mulled Wine was served previous to seating, and we sipped our “ glögg” amazing the place. the Castle is ancient, beautiful and ambient.||The starters and fish buffet in particular was various and tasty.||By and by We Cameron to cold cuts, ham and sausages, and Wars food.||Now my best friend and Mom are like myseldning very fond of meatballs, Janson’s Temptation is another favourite.||The meatballs were something that made us all loose appetite:||Blackened, means burned, oil tasting salt less lumps of pure ground beeef without any trace of spaces. The worst was the meat being raw inside. We all spitted these terrible meat- something out and finished our drinks, going further to the sumptuous dessert buffet. Besides all this, the Janson’s Temptation, Jansons Frestelse, was reheated several times, and patted back into the pan. ||Day after I said this is the most expensive diarrhea I’ve ever had: 3000 SEK.||As a high end chef I have very fiery opinions now and suggest the chef standing behind this mischief, obviously lacking respect for clients, should quit. You care for your job, you don’t perform this kind of cheat. Meatballs, properly made, takes a professional less than half an hour for 150-200 pc. ||I won’t recommend this venue, neither will I return, this was total down the bottom- experience of this year, and I don’t remember whenever been through this in Sweden. ||Total fiasco, living on previous merits and a reputation that is nothing but an old reputation. Sundbyholm Castle, an experience I’d rather have...
Read moreSundbyholms Slott is wonderfully located by the lake Mälaren in front of the building. Here you can spend some days, walking in the nature, take a boat trip during the summer or only relax. With a nice restaurant with fine dining, you can have some peaceful days. Unfortunately, the breakfast doesn't reach the same high level as is normal in Swedish hotels. ||||We got a room with a nice view over the lake. However, one of the beds were dirty and we had to remove the bed sheet and then make the bed with reverse side of the sheet. Under the pillows we found a pools coupon of Swedish trotting (unfortunately, no winning coupon) from a former guest. As the reception was closed in the late evening, we couldn't ask for a new room but apparently the housemaid hadn't changed the linens in one of the beds. During the night, when we slept, the bedside table totally collapsed so we had to repair it which disturbed us very much as we needed to sleep.||||As a result of what is mentioned above, we became very disappointed. When we checked out the lady at the reception asked if we were satisfied with the stay. We told her about the linens and the pools coupon, and the only answer was that she felt sorry for that! Nothing more! I had expected some compensation but not a word about that.||||What to say? The hotel is good and has a great rumour for nice accommodation. We think that our experience was an "accident" but of course, if we come back, we will inspect the beds as soon as possible after arrival which we recommend all...
