    Breakfast whilst ok was often busy and frantic. Some of the restaurant staff were not helpful and the evening menu whilst the food is great was limited.

    Room 123 with a fab balcony and great view of the lake as seen in the pictures attached. This should be the only room you request if you want these great views with peace and quiet. Staff on reception and bar were outstanding, nothing was too much trouble

    Maybe new personnel or busy day reason for a mix up at our arrival; our room had been given away to someone else by mistake, but situation was solved and apologized by reception, so eventually turned out fine. Also new personnel or busy day at the restaurant causing delay and mistakes in the bill, however very good food and beautiful view from the restaurant.

    Beautiful location, and easily reached by car. Charming room in the castle part, spacious room, comfortable bed, nice interior. And what a view to lake Vättern, beautiful sunset. Good dinner and breakfast.

    We are always looking forward to having an evening meal at the restaurant. This year I was very disappointed with the service. Staff behaved in a very unprofessional way, very amateurish. After taking our order, and given our food, nobody even once , came to ask how is the food? is everything alright? or glancing at the tables in case we wanted something else, completely ignored the tables. even when I eventually managed to order another glass of wine, the waiter never took the empty glass away, even when I asked for the bill, the empty bread basket was still on the table. I found the staff very UNPROFESSIONAL Did not match the hotel s standard at all. Another detail, the young waiter was putting items on the table for customers like drinks or milk jug staff like that, holding them from very close to the lip! Very unprofessional and very unhygienic. Front of house staff, excellent!

    The breakfast was more than adequate, very satisfied with it indeed, I had no complains to make. And of course the view from the restaurant was exceptional. Simply very good indeed

    Unlike all the other hotels we have stayed at in Sweden , this one doesn’t allow dogs to sit with you in the restaurant or the bar. We were given à private dining room to eat and drink in.

    Beautiful setting with amazing views of lake Vattern. Large, dog friendly rooms with lovely dog beds Staff very friendly

    The breakfast was good but it was even better last time we were here. Otherwise nothing to complain about.

    Stunning views of Lake Vättern. The location and whole environment here is just lovely. Comfortable and very clean room. Helpful, friendly staff. Delicious dinner at the restaurant. This is one of our favourite hotels in Sweden.

    Need more staff. There were around 50 guests for dinner and only two waiting staff, 1 chef and one sous chef in the kitchen. This led to waiting times of over an hour to get orders served. The staff did their best so no complaints there but they were fighting a losing battle. Management take note!

    Fabulous views from our bedroom, restaurant and bar. Friendly staff.

    Staying in the sidebuildings is not what we wanted, make sure you know where your room is placed when you book it.

    Via booking.com, we had a room in another (not so nice) building, wich wasn't what we expected. The hotelpersonell did their very best to change it to a room in the castle and we were pleased to hear that was possible! The view from te terrace and the rooms is extraordinary. The room was great. The food was excellent as well. You can see and do a lot of things nearby.

    Our room was a bit outdated, and lacked some basic things one could assume to find in a 4 star hotel, like a mirror (in addition to the one in the bathroom), small fridge and an iron.

    The view, the location and the dinner. Great and very comfortable beds!

    Considering Uttern historical purpose of being a highway hotel, it is not a surprise that it is very car dependent. If you decide to take a walk, you are almost forced to go there by car or take a steep trail down the hill which is not so groomed. Room was pretty much basic, no toothpaste, no slippers, cannot even boil some water and make tea in the evening. A lot of space to improve. For the price it seems that you are paying for the view only.

    This hotel is most probably being popular for it's astonishing view and for a good reason. From the hill where Uttern is located, lake Vattern looks beautiful! And that picturesque view follows you from the hotel room to the restaurant, cannot get enough of it! Good and diverse breakfast.
