We had a dog and stayed in one of the dog rooms. Our floors were not cleaned. We found the decor, comfort more like we were at a summer camp, not a hotel. The breakfast quality of food was not high. You need to come when it starts at 8. They don’t refill bacon, boiled eggs, and fruit, so come early to get what you want. 

You have a choice for cleaning. If you decide not to have your room cleaned, they donate that money to youth and people who cannot afford to come, so they can enjoy and experience it. That was a very nice gesture that we opted for. This is a perfect place for kids camp. 

The staff at check in was very nice. Other than that, we didn’t come across staff.

More like a summer camp bs hotel and conference facility

Nice hotel located on the shore of the lake, with a very nice swimming beach. Rooms are basic and VERY, VERY clean. Restaurant has a very nice buffet dinner and good variety buffet breakfast. Within walking distance of the town.

Great location, nice hotel!

I booked a package here for the ski-race Vasaloppet, and it all worked out very well. Everything was included; accommodation, food and bus to and from the race. Great!

My room was a double, which meant two single beds pushed together. Nice and clean bathroom, TV, desk and an armchair. Breakfast was fantastic, with the option to make oneself a packed lunch as well. Dinner was not so good in my opinion, and in the evening after the race they were already clearing the tables although there were several more people to come, and there was little left to chose from. There was a vegetarian dish each night, and plenty of vegan options for breakfast. 
Reception staff were really nice and friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Location-wise it is a fair walk from the town centre, but you can do it in twenty minutes. Worth bearing in mind if you have a lot of luggage though.

Vasaloppet

This restaurant is run by the Swedish church and located by the Rättvik church and Lake Silian. We have been to their lunch buffet several times and always much impressed by high quality of sallad and food.  Besides it is located so beautiful by the lake Siljan that you see a fantastic view outside.   

Nice lunch buffet for very reasonable price, fantastic view of Lake Siljan

This place was always going to be something different, and so my expectations were partially managed. It's the location where the church holds retreats and courses, and therefore sounds in principle as though it would be more like a summer camp than an attractive overnight destination. However, the information available pre-booking made it sound like a professional hotel. The truth is somewhere in between.

There was nothing much wrong with my room, there just wasn't anything right with it either. The decor was acceptably tasteful, but clearly done on a budget, with linoleum and waterproof, plastic wall paper in the bathroom, and an absence of toiletries and things like plug outlets near the bed which are common in hotels. Terrestrial TV channels were all there was. There was wifi only in the lobby. Breakfast was a modest affair.

The stunning location, right on charming Lake Siljan, is the best selling point. It's worth putting up with quite a lot of minor inconveniences to be in such a lovely setting. 

On balance, though, even the lake didn't quite make up for the disappointment of paying premium hotel rates for a facility that was second-rate at best. I don't think I'll be back.

Great if you like youth hostels

I stayed at Stiftsgarden for five days this summer with a party of choral singers, all of whom were very impressed with the hotel.  The gardens run down to the beautiful lake, where you can go swimming.   It is not deep, so don't dive in!   The food is superb and very delicious.  I particularly enjoyed the pickled herrings and the roast beef (somebody tried to tell me that it was roast reindeer!). All meals are self-service and you can go back for seconds if you wish.  The rooms are comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Although Stiftsgarden itself is alcohol free, a brisk walk (approx. 25 minutes) will take you past the camping ground and into the centre of Rattvik, where there are a couple bars/restaurants in the street called "Storgatan",  serving very tasty beer at about 50 kroner (£5) for half a litre (about a pint).

I have very happy memories of my stay at Stiftsgarden and If I ever go to Sweden again I would not hesitate to revisit this lovely hotel.

A beautiful place to stay

If you book on booking.com it is easy to overlook that you have to check in before 8 pm. If you come later, the reception is no longer manned and there is no phone number to contact any one to check you in. In short: you have to look for an alternative place to spend the night, while they consider you a no-show and you have to pay them anyway. The place may be good, but to us it was a waste of good money and a hassle!
