Lovely place. Generel very good service. The only thing I didn't like was the service in the Kallbad spa, where the receptionist didn't comply to the place's own rules. She let external guest in the Kallbad spa in the time-slot where it is not allowed for external guest with the result that there were not enough place to the hotel guest in the spa ect.

Hotel Skansen has decided to remove slippers and complimentary parking from their Spa packages, Unfortunately this dos not reflect on the pricetag. We noticed Hotel guest walking around in bathrobes and sneakers not looking very comfortable. And of course you can purchase slippers from their shop. Very disappointing and not worth the price tag..

Perfect relaxing stay. Two spa’s, one with mixed sauna/steam rooms, and rooftop infinity pool, and a traditional really nice bathinghouse on a long pier in the ocean with seperate sex saunas and stairs for a ocean dip. But be prepared to wait in que for an absurd amount of time waiting to be seated in the restaurant. Even if you have a reservation with a timeslot, they can still let you stand and look for 20 minutes before they service you. Once seated the restaurant was good.

The hotel was lovely and the rooms very nice and comfortable. The restaurant was fantastic and the food was amazing for both dinner and the buffet breakfast. The staff were all very genuine and helpful. The spa was quaint, and the roof top spa was a nice plus.

Top quality spa hotel. Beautiful, clean, friendly personal, relaxed atmosphere, awesome restaurant and food. Hotel location was in top. 50 meters to the see. Nothing at all to complain about. Would like to come back for a day or two soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Hotel Skansen while attending a business conference held at the hotel. The rooms were nice and cozy. The staff was very helpful throughout check-in, check-out, arranging taxis, and recommending local restaurants. The restaurant Sand provided a wonderful breakfast and was an excellent option for dinner.

We really enjoyed our one night stay at this hotel. The service, the food and the place is really wonderful - the only negative is that it's a bit too expensive compared to other places with similar content.

2 persons 3 different treatments. The worst we have experienced ever. Even after commenting there was some misunderstanding it didn’t work. 20 - 30 % alone. Scalp massage was soft drag in the hair. So bad and can only avoid. Waste of money
