The restaurant has a very nice view.

This is a very good restaurant. To my luck I found a 2019 Kistlet Mc Crea to my fish lunch. Good food, excellent wine.

The major hotel in Sandhamn, with rooms for all budgets, we had a quiet room at the back in the extension, with a view over a court
Plenty big enough and well appointed with good Swedish design, including an oak folding chair. Lovely shower room with decent toiletries. It felt quite luxurious. Two bottles of Vichy water, too.
Breakfast on the terrace with buffet in the dining room, was remarkable for the range on offer. The entrance lobby looks out over the main jetties, as does the first floor bar. Welcoming staff greeted us and helped with the storage of our bags for most of the day. Very handy for the ferries about 5-8 minutes away.

Nice staff and service.
Unfortunately, the room we got felt it needed a heavy face lift already years ago.
The chefs in the kitchen need to step up as well,   no-one around our table were fully happy with the result.

The rooms are very small and due for an upgrade: the paint is chipped and bathroom interior is outdated and worn. The doors in the hallways slam shut very loudly so dont expect to sleep in.

The staff is helpful and customer service oriented; from reception, the bar, to the cleaners and security.
The restaurant keeps getting better but we still prefer the Värdshuset.
The club is always fun and the spa is an added bonus.
