Odkryj pobyt w mieście Sigtuna

Another little gem and highly recommended. We booked this hotel as an overnighter, having flown in from Lulea (northern Sweden0 that afternoon and on our way to Budapest. The hotel is about 15km from Arlanda Airport, so quite convenient. Just beware (see my other review) of the outrageous charges imposed on a 15km taxi ride.by an “outfit” called weride. They pepper the arrivals door at the airport.. The hotel is actually a converted boarding school from the 30’s we think, but the Town, Sigtuna is the OLDEST in Sweden and very, very interesting. We only had a late afternoon to wander, but will be coming back to explore this fascinating town dating back to the Viking era. Hotel Kristina is run by a family with the familiar, personal touch. Rooms are ok in size and the bathroom, also good with piping hot water. The restaurant, breakfast and bar were great and the hotel features an outdoor sunroom/greenhouse which is heated. We sat “outside” with drinks and enjoyed the pitter-patter of rain on the glass panels. By far the highlight was the staff who were exceptionally friendly, helpful and had a great sense of humour. Just be aware that access to reception is via steps although there is an elevator the staff can operate for luggage and mobility compromised visitors/guests. The town, via Hotel Kristina is worthy of a dedicated day;s exploration if you are heading to Stockholm. Highly recommended as stated at the outset.

The hotel is located in a higher position in the town, with a unique architectural style. It is also regarded as one of the landmarks in the town. It seems that there is a place for weddings. The parking lot is free, the restaurant is good, the breakfast is standard western style, the dinner is also very good, the taste is good, the waiters in the restaurant are very good and the service is courteous. The disadvantage is that the room is too small to book a large room. There is an extra charge for children staying in extra beds. The town is not big, just walk around.

Siamo arrivati molto tardi ma in aeroporto c’era la navetta dell’hotel ad attenderci. Pulito, moderno, personale gentile, ottima colazione. La mattina abbiamo poi preso i mezzi per arrivare a Stoccolma con cui è perfettamente collegato

I stayed here on a solo visit, booking was very easy and the hotel really communicative. Getting to the hotel from Arlanda airport was easy, the shuttle bus service is spot on and easy to catch. I stayed in a single room, which is where my disappointment comes, the website shows a light and airy room, but it was anything but, quite dark, not very welcoming and the view of a waste bin out the window wasn't great. The shower was very good, but, with no sort of plug mechanism on the sink, if I had a shower the smell of sewage from the sink was strong and very off putting. I will say though that the bed was genuinely one of the comfiest I have ever slept in! There was no tea or coffee in the room, and I was a little disappointed there were no UK/US or even French or German news channels on the TV - just a little thing that an international airport could have - that's not to say watching the 'Timber World Championship' wasn't bad. I stayed in room 22, please be advised that in this room I was awoken each night by bottle trolleys being emptied and people going to and from the bar. Breakfast in the hotel was OK, a fair selection and you could sort a takeaway coffee - the cheese rolls and the jam biscuits were really tasty. I must say the staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful, a credit to the hotel. They were more than happy to chat to me in English through my broken Swedish. The hotel itself is located in an industrial estate and there wasn't too much around, but a quick shuttle bus to SkyCity at Arlanda and you had shops and a McDonalds close by. I would stay here again, but perhaps in a higher standard of room!
