“The people make this place!”

In a beautiful spot you find this hotel. We stayed in an apartment in a small house. You hear the neighbours very loudly. Luckily we had good neighbours and slept very well.

In a beautiful spot you find this hotel. We stayed in an apartment in a small house. You hear the neighbours very loudly. Luckily we had good neighbours and slept very well. The apartment itself needs a renovation. It feels that no one has done anything since the 90’s. Unfortunately the whole place needs some renovation. You see dirty facades, door handles that are loose, paint that has loosened and shows the rust underneath. But the service is great! The restaurant service is absolutely 5⭐️ or more! And the food is great as well. The people make this place! This is rare in Sweden as we have usually very bad service every where. The spa is small, but again the service is great. There are plenty of stuff to do there and around for several days. Hiking, just stay on the beach, see world heritage places etc etc. They have charging spots at the hotel.

“A nice spa hotel to relax”

I got an own apartment in a nice house (two apartments in every house) with a view over the lake Orsjön. The apartment was a little bit worn but overall, I found it pleasant and silent.

I got an own apartment in a nice house (two apartments in every house) with a view over the lake Orsjön. The apartment was a little bit worn but overall, I found it pleasant and silent. The beds were comfortable. In the room I had a couch and a table, but when I got up, I hit almost every time my head on the chandelier. Why have a chandelier and not normal lamps? The hotel has a really nice spa with sauna and at least four pools. Two of them outside and heated. There I could sit hours and look out over the lake, and all the trees who were changing colour now in the autumn. The hotel had a beautiful restaurant with delicious food. Also the breakfast was well tasting and varied. Unfortunately, in the dining room they played jazz music in the evening as well in the morning. Why doing that? So nice view over the lake and to be disturbed of such music!?

“package with Lofthuset”

Please find separate review of Lofthuset further down. Orbaden is quite an ordinary hotel, nothing really standing out as good or bad. The “spa” is fairly small so not really much to cheer for.

Please find separate review of Lofthuset further down. Orbaden is quite an ordinary hotel, nothing really standing out as good or bad. The “spa” is fairly small so not really much to cheer for. We unfortunately forget to check the time we went to the spa and ended up in the “children-allowed” timeslot with didn’t help the experience. Pretty cool with the beach below. I would not make a special trip for this place but if you for some reason need to stop here it’s nice enough. We had a package with a stay in an cottage at the hill side. I can’t find the hill side cottage on tripadvisor as separate so I will put it all in this review thus upgrading Orbaden to four stars on account of the cottage. XXX Lofthuset/Bergaliv Amazing location on the hill side with the view of the water below. We just wanted to sit on top of the cabin and look at the lake the whole time bringing but both dinner and breakfast to eat there. Make sure you bring warm enough clothes to be able to sit outside all the time. Blankets are available as well. We bought the dinner pack. The food was plenty and alright although the ham had gone of a bit which spoiled the experience somewhat. Super nice breakfast set. A bit awkward washing arrangement even only washing the hands was a bit difficult to sort out. Maybe bring your own wet wipes for easier cleaning. The toilet is pretty noisy and you sleep right next to it so make sure you plan any late night use according to provided instructions. The main road far below is fairly auditable. Not really disturbing but it would just have been totally amazing if it was all quiet too. A very nice place and a highly recommended experience but probably only for one night due to limitations in washing possibility.
