Vimmerby Stadshotell, WorldHotels Crafted

The staff was wonderful. They were helpful, knowledgeable and prompt. The old hotel has been well modernized. Our room was comfortable and well equipped. The furnishings were quaint and interesting. We enjoyed the bar and the large restaurant. The food served in the restaurant was well presented and tasty,

Everything was good. I loved the breakfast, something for everyone. I missed a refrigerator, other than that everything was great. Nice people, Nice room and view. Could have more toiletpaper in the bathroom also, but we got more when we needed.

We visited Astrid Lindgren's World for the second time and chose this hotel because of the location - it is in the heart of Vimmerby. It is a really nice looking old school hotel with comfortable and clean rooms and great service. The breakfast was exceptional. If you come by car then there is no parking on site but public parking lots are not far. Recommended.

This hotel is located in the heart of Vimmerby. The rooms were very nice; clean and quiet. Parking is off site, but is an easy walk to the hotel. I didn't eat in their restaurant but it looked very nice too.

The visit was good, perfect location. Nice employees and a good service level. The rooms was good, clean and had comfortable beds. A bit hot in the hotel though. Good breakfast but the coffee could be better.

This is a fine place to stay with a very comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff, and a breakfast that is just unbelievable. The only difficulty is getting to the hotel since so many streets are one way or blocked and the GPS gets the directions wrong. But if you get here it is great.

The standard room was awful , it overlooked some abandoned furniture and was soulless, dark and tiny. My husband actually rang reception to upgrade my room as a present and it was lovely. The décor was very Peaky Blinders , the bed was comfy and it felt much fresher and airier than the dank single bedded monstrosity I had previously . When was the last time you saw a single bed without a headboard anywhere other than a hostel ? The staff were also friendly but varying in experience. The upgrade was actually a present from my husband, however I ended up paying for it myself as they charged my card instead of his , which my husband laughed about . Back to the service ...I called whilst parked outside to get directions to the free parking and I was told to find the local burger joint as they had 24 hour parking. I was not given an address to use with sat nav and had to find it myself. After dragging my heavy suitcase through town to the hotel, I then read a sign telling me that I can have free parking from the hotel across the street at co-op !. This means for the duration of my stay and not having to move my car after 24 hours . So I checked in , got my parking pass and moved my car to the hotels free car park, Very annoying after a long drive and traversing through snow showers on arrival. The other annoyance was being told the wrong time for breakfast, I arrived at 6.40am to be told that the restaurant was not opened until 7.30 , however some guests were eating early at 7 . I decided to wait until it was opened and realised that the receptionist was eating breakfast herself, whilst I sat waiting , undoubtedly from the restaurant At 7 I asked to enter the restaurant and along with another family had a pleasant enough experience. However, I had to find lots of forks myself to use for serving and placed them in the sauces, beet salads and other stations ...your welcome ! I also noticed that there were no cards to describe the food selection , which is unusual in a hotel at this price band. I had no cards or I might have helped them out with that too lol We have a great saying in Scotland " A fur coat and no knickers" which is what this hotel was sadly . The décor in the public spaces and superior rooms was Instagram ready , however the mixed service let the experience down . I have stayed in much simpler hotels that had a better overall experience on account of the customer care .

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in Vimmerby ist jedoch nicht mehr das modernste. So muss man die Koffer aus dem Auto über einige Stufen hoch zur Reception schleppen. Einen Parkplatz direkt am Gebäude gibt es nicht, man kann jedoch beim Coop in die Tiefgarage stellen. Von der Reception zu den Zimmern gibt es nur einen Lift und der ist nicht besonders gross, was zu Wartezeiten führt. Auf Bildern habe ich gesehen, dass es anscheinend moderne Zimmer mit bemalten Wänden gibt. Wir hatten definitiv keine solchen. Beide waren simpel, klein, stinkig und alt, mit Heizkörper und Tischventilator. Der Schrank hatte nicht mal die Tiefe eines Kleiderbügels, die mussten schräg reingehängt werden. Das einzige was noch einigermassen modern war, war das Bad. Da das Hotel sehr nah zur Pippi Langstrumpf Welt ist, hat es dementsprechend viele Familien mit kleinen Kindern. Somit kann man das Hotel auch nicht als ruhig bezeichnen. Dazu spät abends noch ein paar junge Schweden die mit ihren Karren mit viel Lärm durch die Strassen schleichen. Frühstücksbuffet um 9 Uhr ist eine ganz schlechte Idee, zu wenig Platz, man sitzt auch an Couchtischen und es ist auch die Zeit der Familien. Das Essen ist gut. Das Personal freundlich .

Das Gebäude ist in die Jahre gekommen aber das Design ist absolut einzigartig. Eine gelungene Mischung zwischen Alt und modern. Besonders zu erwähnen ist die Qualität der Speisen im Restaurant. Hier lohnt sich ein Besuch allerweil. Achtung reservieren! Die Auswahl der Weine ist für Schwedische Verhältnisse riesig und dies zu moderaten Preisen. Noch ein Wort zu der Lage. Das Hotel liegt an der charmanten Piazza von Vimmerby , jedoch nur 20 Gehminuten von der Pippi Langstrumpf Welt entfernt.
