    Bathroom was a bit dated and showering made the entire bathroom wet.

    Location and facilities were beautiful.

    Because they are renovating, the spa was closed but the girl at the reception gave us free tickets to the open air swimming place nearby and they had a sauna. There was a lot of renovation works near our room but it didn't actually bother us. Just the fact that some things like the French restaurant and the spa were closed.

    The hotel is old but it has a charm to it that I really liked. Our room was very big, with an apart section for our kid's bed so that was amazing and the sea view was incredible. It is ideal to relax because it is very quiet and far from the city. The restaurant Paviljon was also very good and has also amazing views. The staff was friendly, I didn't have any issues with them not talking in English to me.

    Right outside our room was being renovated including our room door. No mention of this was made to us at check in and we were handed the room cards and was greeted with construction workers right outside our door blocking the entrance to our room. I also felt the reception staff wasn’t welcoming and kept answering me in Swedish, despite knowing very well I don’t speak Swedish and being asked to speak to speak in English.

    It’s an old and grand hotel with history. We loved that about the hotel. It’s a little run down which they are trying to fix with renovations. Breakfast was good, the ambience was great, rooms were spacious and the view from the room was pretty good.

    Our room and the building was under construction, the window frames were unfinished so every time we opened windows, plaster chunks fell on the floor, the noise level made it difficult to relax and enjoy your peaceful surroundings. I felt they should have given a larger discount considering all of this.

    The view was amazing with plenty of spots to rest and enjoy them. Breakfast was excellent in their magical grand dining room.

    A family of four plus a dog, we were really pleased with our stay at Grand Hotel Saltsjöbaden. Being an old grand hotel, the ambience manages to be both chic and very laid back at the same time, and the location by the sea is superb. We had a quadruple room that was large enough to accommodate us, the beds were comfortable, the breakfast very good, and the staff super nice. Still, this doesn' t even begin to catch the atmosphere of this place, you have to visit to experience it for yourself.

    despite that there’s renovation going on, this hotel is still beautiful. yes there might have some disturbances due to the renovation but I find it acceptable.. they also adjusted the price how much they can charge during this time.

    The location, the coziness and the spacious room, good value for the money you paid. beautiful building, every details has a history.

    In the restaurant, during dinner, it did not look like all tables were reserved, however we had children and they suggested us to go to the bar area, which is kind of descrimination of children. Same in the spa zone, the staff was friendly and allowed to use spa after check out at same terms as hotel guests, but spa zone is not for children (only 9-11 and 12-14, breakfast and lunch time, during some weekends and school vacations). I think the hotel should be more oriented at families with children. Second thing that was not nice is the staff at reception, the man deliberately did not speak English and answered in Swedish, which was not friendly to foreigners. I think that Sweden overall is English speaking country with inclusive culture, but sometimes there are naughty people that spoil this atmosphere.

    The room with a view to the water, the breakfast, the lobby with games, spa area, dinner in the bar area.

    The hotel was being renovated so there were workers and scaffolds but it didn't really disrupt our experience. The common areas and our room got a bit chilly in the evening and there was no way to turn up the heat :(

    Majestic old hotel in a beautiful location. Delicious breakfast, sunny rooms with nice view and super cozy vibes. Some wear and tear in places but we think it added to the charm of that golden era aesthetic. We were there on a Sunday, the hotel was not at all crowded and felt like we had all the place to ourselves!

    Charming hotel with a lot of potential

    - We requested upfront that bed for baby awaits us in the room, however when we arrived in the room the bed was not there. I had to go to reception to remind them to bring the baby bed in the room. - We celebrated our anniversary there and noted that in the booking, however nobody did absolutely nothing to make us feel extra welcomed. This is the first hotel where we travelled to celebrate our anniversary that did absolutely nothing to acknowledge that, which is a pity. At least one message in the room would be nice. - Room was quite cold. - In the bathroom is missing a place to put your stuff, there is only a quite narrow sink. - We checked out at 11:50 (check out is till 11:00) and they wanted to charge us that 300 SEK for that. That sounded absurd and I asked if they can check this, so they ultimately charged us "only 100" SEK for that. We travelled a lot and this is first time to have such a negative experience when it comes to check out. Overall reception staff is not very welcoming and not suited to be the "face" of this otherwise charming hotel.

    The breakfast was good, nice variety of food. Dinner was also very delicious and nice atmosphere. There is one "gaming" room which has a shuffleboard which was very fun to play. Spa was nice and clean (it comes with additional cost). Room was clean and bed vas comfortable.

    - Oatly and milk at breakfast had switched signs. - Smashed almond croissants could have used some actual almonds. - Staff left the bed for ourselves instead of setting it up for us. What difference does it make to do ourselves except effort?

    It needs quite some maintenance, specially in the exterior facade. It also feels overpriced for what it offers.
