Hotel Bishops Arms

Stayed 1-4Mar 24.nnEasy check in staff was fast and quick.nFrom airport to Bishops Arms was 475kr.nRoom was big and I liked the size of the space.nRefer to images of its surroundings and also the views of premise.nDidn't visit the pub as we wanted to stay away from Scandi food for a little nOverall we liked it and no complaints. All was good and pleasant.

One of the few remaining places to eat and drink in the old city center. The rooms are okay and the breakfast is good, but it is probably my favorite place for well made food and a couple of beers. Great staff!

I arrived early in the morning on the night train from Stockholm to see if I could drop my luggage. I was really surprised to find they let me check in 5 hours early at 10am which is just what I needed as I was unwell and just spent 16 hours sat on a train. The room was better than I expected, booked a single I received a double, it had everything I needed and a fridge. Dinner was nothing short of amazing the service was great. The food was spectacular, the burger was the best I have had in Sweden! Breakfast was pretty standard for Scandinavia, buffet style meats and cheeses with hot eggs, sausage and Danish bacon. The room rate was really good for the area. Overall I would recommend the warm and welcoming hotel to anyone although they are closing in 2023 to relocate to a much larger site up the road. It should be mentioned that most shops and restaurants in the area have already closed down in preparation for the whole towns relocation for geological reasons.

We stayed at the hotel for three nights and had dinner at the pub as well. The room was nice and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning. Dinner was delicious and they make a great whiskey sour. Reservations for dinner are recommended since they get pretty busy at night.

Don't turn up before 3pm.nnThis is a medicore hotel, which likely has seen better days. It does appear to have lots of potential, but is being run on a shoestring budget, considering the expensive nightly stay prices.nnThe rooms are average at best, beds are creaky, windows are small, radiators don't work, and heating can't be controlled. The bathroom has a poor design, with no easy storage other than behind the toilet, very annoyingly this is where the fresh towels were hung. The shower was good, and likely highlight of the room.nnBreakfast is basic, it is a breakfast buffet, but few items are fresh, and/or warm.nnEvening meal is available in the pub area, but do make a reservation.nnThe REAL ISSUE with this hotel, which why you should avoid it, is its lack of staff, especially between the hours of 10am and 3pm, when there is no one around at all, apart from cleaners who can't help. In essence this hotel has no front desk, and no manned reception. If you arrive before 3pm you can't get into the building, you will be stuck sitting on the floor in a tiny porch area until 3pm comes. No one will come and help. You can't leave your bags with anyone pre check-in.  Similarly when checking out, they will only hold your bags if you don't need to collect them between 10am and 3pm.
