Great location, right in the bay of Marstrands! looks good on the outside, lobby and restaurant were all nice…like many other hotels, clearly this is where they invest, not the rooms. Gym was the best hotel gym I’ve seen, literally everything you could want. They have hot tubs outside on the patio. They have a swimming pool but I didn’t go in that so can’t comment. Breakfast was good, it was a buffet but everything you would want mainly……but beware….not all as it seems.

The property advertises all the nice rooms over looking the bay, which must be a great view. Sadly I will never know, because what they don’t tell you is the rooms on the other side are over looking a massive car park! The room’s fixtures are on the cheap for the price they are charging for the rooms. They are trying to market themselves as a premium hotel, but the rooms are far from it. I paid £165 a night to stay here and I’ve stayed in £70 a night hotels in the Uk that were much nicer. They have no room service in terms of food, only drinks can be sent up to the rooms! Restaurant is booking only so if you arrive later on in the evening and just fancy a quick bite to eat, no room service so you have to have the bar food. At Breakfast, I had a full cup of tea, full glass of juice, full bowl of granola on the table, I go up to get something hot and I come back and the waitress has taken all my food away, then when I mention it she looked and spoke to me like I just spat on her dog! Breakfast felt like they were rushing you to finish and get lost. My room had a huge crack down the floor, when I mentioned it to the reception they pretend they don’t know about it…yes right. The ceiling in my room was just concrete, had a wooden raw peg just sticking out of it, drill holes, stupid fire alarm with metal channeling…wasn’t industrial chic, it looked like someone couldn’t be bothered to pay for the finishing. Bathroom tiling looked like the person forgot their spirit level, I could do a better job myself. I felt Catfished by this hotel to be honest, for the price and with it being Marstrands, I expected much more than I got. When I was checking out, the receptionist asked me about my stay, when I mentioned the view, she just laughed….this hotel know they are misleading people with their advertising….my advise is beware when you book a stay at this hotel because you might get a nasty surprise like I got. Sadly I felt a bit ripped off.

Almost everything

The dinner

The room doesn’t seem to be deserving 4 stars.. stained and unhooked curtains, very damaged floor, small TV with visible hanging wires, low-end furniture, bathroom with rudimentary toiletries and no space to put your belongings, instead of the mini bar : small basket filled with a few items (including hot champagne because no refrigerator), balcony difficult to access because of the furniture, stained armchair, very marked bathroom doorway, etc.

Perfect location right on the waterfront.

Nothing

The room view was non existent and looking towards the roof of the Spa which was underneath and unction of the room.

Nice view to the harbour and seaside

The rooms were old style and for a vacation Hotel very small. The cleaningness was more then poor.

Breakfast was plentiful. Though on the first morning our coffee was already in a jug on the table and it was so strong we couldn’t drink it. This morning I asked for hot milk to go with coffee and 2 people asked me hot milk??

Chairs in bedrooms very uncomfortable. Bathroom sink was behind the bed!!!!! Very strange
