Hotell Aina

Gegenüber ist eine Bushaltestelle und ein kostenloses, interessantes Industrie-Museum.

Ist halt ein altes Haus mit uriger Ausstattung, die entsprechend staubig ist. Hat aber durchaus Charme.

A very welcoming base for a solo motorcycle rider. I visited the place in late July. Late arrival arrangements due to long riding legs were easily made and completely stress-free. The premises are clean, comfortable, and safe. Every room has its own unique artistic theme, making it a memorable art hotel to stay in. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional, and the breakfast was tasty with all the expected items.

Nostalgie - das Zimmer war gemütlich mit alten Möbeln und Sachen ausgestattet. Es war sehr groß mit einer eigenen Bibliothek. Auch alle anderen Räume (Frühstücksraum, Fernsehzimmer und Billardraum) waren so eingerichtet.

The proprietor or manager welcomed me to the hotel. She seemed genuinely friendly and was helpful and informative. In the morning the hotel provided a selection of cheese, ham, and other toppings for bread or crispbread, together with juice and coffee. I didn't ask for a cooked breakfast and do not know whether one is provided. Breakfast is served from 07:00.

The building is an old country house in the Swedish style, made of wood and decorated with fretwork. It would look a lot more appealing with a fresh coat of paint. The immediate surroundings of the house are not attractive. The property backs onto the main railway line between Sundsvall and Stockholm, while the front is a few metres from the old arterial road between the two cities, a road that is now much less busy than a few years ago, thanks to the new motorway that has replaced it further to the west. When I was there the road was under extensive repair, with heavy vehicles operating until quite late. The interior of the hotel is charming, with considerable attention given to cleanliness and quirky decorations, though it could certainly do with renovation. The (long and narrow) room was surprisingly quiet except for a continuous hum of central heating or air conditioning. The bed was an old-fashioned metal frame that was much more comfortable than it looked.
