Vallingby Homestays

Appreciated Anna (front desk) on my first visit to this hotel. We stayed here a couple of nights and I believe it was truly Anna's smile and efforts that made the difference. She was proactive in making sure we had everything we needed. She came through and lent me a travel adaptor for my laptop. Thank you Anna. Breakfast was simple and sufficient. The place is new and relatively clean. Would recommend it if you need to be in this area and the budget is right. Location is right next to a supermarket, pharmacy and metro station.

We were made to feel VIP from check-in to check-out. The personnel always saw to it that we had what we needed greeting us everywhere (in chorus at breakfast) and giving personal service. They seem to be very proud to be working at Hesselby Slott. We stayed in the South Wing of the castle overlooking the castle grounds. The room was warmly furnished and with a high bed making one feel like sleeping in the royal chambers. We were provided bathrobes and slippers and abundant quantity of personal sized luxury toiletries. Free coffee and tea in both the Castle and in the Orangerie with very nice ambiance. You can choose to sit in the library or other rooms in the castle. Live candles in all public areas. Music played everywhere in the public rooms and on the grounds, even in the parking area. This big establishment felt warmer and more cosy than a cute little cottage. There is a special room in the castle where you can see all the winners of the Polar Music Prize since 1992. In another building, the ”Orangerie” you find the reception, conference rooms , billiards, bar, a music lounge with two karaoke rooms as well as the restaurant where we had breakfast. A lot of thought was placed in furnishing the whole Orangerie and it was also very warm and cosy with live candles. The breakfast was a lot with both warm and cold luxury food. It was also very safely arranged during the Covid times. Food taking areas were spread out and serving spoons were not provided, instead you use a new one everytime. Even if in the early morning breakfast we were only a few, we felt that the hotel did not lower their usual standard and assortment. The chef was very amiable. Parking is free although it is a walk of 200-300m as you need to go over the castle grounds and gardens. We were allowed to drive in to the castle near our room to load and unload. We usually work Friday afternoons in hotels (after check-in) . Wifi was very good. We ended our stay with a walk in the large castle grounds giving us the needed exercise after a week of work from home. This was an excellent stay and we did not need to pay much. We would absolutely like to come back!
