"Wiksslott was a great surprise Fantastic location, friendly stuff, great breakfast, 200% quality for price! The only drawback was not being able to take a swim in the lake because of potential health risk owing to seaweed but that’s got of course nothing to do with the hotel Super recommended"

Sigtuna Stadshotell

10/10 Excellent
"loved my room (109) with the sea view , swedish flag waving in the wind, nice outdoor balcony. Lovely airy room, mini fridge, little TV, comfy white bed.. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the big ugly print of an outdated phone hanging on the wall over my bed. Surely the hotel can find a more picturesque, welcoming piece of artwork to enhance the lovely bedroom , which is more fitting for a first class hotel. Like a painting of a beautiful Swedish summer scene, or a peaceful view of the Sigtuna lake with a sprinking of white boats in the distance.. Since the room is all white, a touch of color would be welcome, some greens, some blues, a bit of yellow.... Not a creepy photo of an old phone from the 70's which nobody really liked or used anyway. If you can't throw away the print for whatever reason, then at least take it downstairs to one of your meeting roos instead, and replace it with one of those colorful paintings from downstairs, (you have several in the living room and conference room and hang it on the bedroom wall instead!"
