Hotell Dalsland

It's basic but ok. Could do with being modernized and I had to provide my own breakfast.

Basic but OK

We arrived very late and the access to the room etc was very easy with the card pick up service. The challet room was large with kitchen and living area. 2 bedrooms. The place is not brand new but was ideal for what we required. A quick walk around the lake ito the town for breakfast and then off. Safe place to put your head down for the night.

Chalets were OK. Initial enquiry on line said none available. When we arrived, there were very few other guests. Main building appears closed. No contact with staff. No reception or other assistance.

On the plus side the place was huge. It had a great view and was just a short walk to the lake. On the downside, the property is well past its day with peeling paint - run down. Getting the key was a pain as reception was closed. They'd left a message on Expedia on where to pick it up but I was already there but had no wifi connection or even an inkling that I needed to check my email (in "promotions" on Google so even then I was lucky to see it quickly!)

On my son's on my bike ride to Oslo, we decided to stay in Ed - also because of the books about Carl Hamilton, as one of the stories takes place here. Ed seems to be nice small village with a few restaurants and one main street and a few super markets and a square (that was what we managed to find out during our one night stay here). And then there are the two lakes. The nature is fantastic here in Sweden. Like other places in Sweden, it is actually a shame that you can here truck traffic from miles away, e.g. when you are sitting and relaxing on the terrace in the evening.Well, the hotel seems to be an older establishment. It needs some maintenance. The room was spacious with two bedrooms and living room, a kitchen area and bathroom and big terrace.

Centrally placed with a super view over the lake

Veldig SJARMERENDE Hotell, litt gammelt og litt slitt, men utrolig hyggelig vertskap.
Frokosten var meget bra, hotell leilighetene var rene store med egen terrasse, tekjøkken, fint bad og to soverom, en med dobbelt seng og en med køyesenger. Leilighets hotellet ligger ved en innsjø, hvor det er mulighet til å ta et morgenbad. Bilen kan parkeres i garasje. 

A  VERY RELAXING HOTEL, A little old and a bit worn, but incredibly nice hosts.
The breakfast was very good, the hotel apartments were clean, big, with own terrace, kitchenette, nice bathroom and two bedrooms, one with double bed and one with bunk beds.There is a lake, where one can take ones morning bath, and a garage to park the  car inn.

Utrolig fine leiligheter til en veldig bra pris

The hotel is based on the principle of the small apartments to share where the rooms are quite small (without a closet), the basic bath-WC opening hours are also regrettable (I would have liked to have had a small dining room - living room and terrace). On the restaurant side: we had dinner on site: good service and very good food. The breakfast is a free buffet type, very complete. It also has a recreational part, with swimming pool, sauna, etc., From the outside it seems to be abandoned. The opening hours of this part are also regrettable (I would have liked to have gotten a bath early in the morning), as well as the fact that the way is not up in the sky (in the summer this is a super swimming pool) The whole is a very nice living room, but well maintained.

Nice hotel, excellent service, but a place to regret.

We spent quite some time looking for a Hotel in Dalsland (lakes region of Sweden) in a position which allowed us to do different outdoor activities and away from people and decided to go for Dalsland Hotel as with equipment it was easier to have an apartment. 

The Norwegian guy below here is a genius, in the middle of nowhere? Really? That is the point...if you book this Hotel I would assume you are looking for outdoor space, lakes, canoeing etc.. otherwise come here in London plenty of shops and restaurants for you! There are only a couple of restaurants in the area which we did no t have the chance to try bear this in mind, however we did use the local coop shop and cooked together as we travelled as a group of four. 

The location itself would allow you to walk to Canodal, where you can rent a canoe and camping equipment, to do a trip on the Stora Lee Lake with different camping stations on the way (wild camping) which we loved, we did that two days one night. 

The Dasland Canal is 40 minutes drive away and the sea side is another 40 minutes, we visited the city of Strömstad on the coast which was suggested by a friend and we loved it, lovely food too and to go there you could drive through a bit of Norway (google Grensestua cafè) and maybe stop for a coffee on the border. Hence we picked ED as it was in the middle of the two side of the country with some outstanding road to drive through woods and lakes, especially coming from England which does not have either. 

With regard to cleanliness etc... I have attached a few pictures to my review which always speak better, in words it was very cleaned and tidy, the kitchen had a lot of plates, cups, cutlery and all the necessary to cook, maybe the only thing missing was a microwave however there was a traditional oven which we preferred anyway!

The large sofa and bed were both very comfy, of course furniture aren't last fashion of the moment which we kind of appreciated as it really blends with the surrounding, again all was in good maintenance order.

Check-in was very smooth, the lady that checked us in was very friendly and as we were coming from different countries we had the chance to pay in the local currency which we exchanged beforehand and the other paid in Euros.

The apartments are all 2 minutes away from the reception area (which his the yellow building in my pictures) which is also the area where they serve breakfast, so bear in mind that if your apartment is a bit down you will have to do stairs!!! Ours were the top ones. Good thing is that you only have one wall sharing with the other flat hence you do not have anyone on top or below you to disturb which is a bonus for me.

Breakfast was sufficient, nothing crazy I have to say and the only thing I did not like was that, except the Sunday which was the busiest day, there was no beacon or eggs (except boiled eggs); I appreciate that it wasn't as busy however to cook some beacon and eggs isn't a big investment. Coffee-wise you get to chose between Espresso, Americano or Chocolate. 

We could not use the terrace as it was rather chill at night (there are a couple of electric heater in the apartments if you feel cold) however the view was great and we use it to dry our tent and other hiking equipment. 

Overall we really liked the place and should we go again in this area we would book the same place, this was our first time in Sweden and we loved it! Have a look at Canodal as it was a great experience else the Hotel I think rents out rowing boat. Another good place to check out is Dalslands Aktiviteter which is 20 minutes away circa with plenty of things to do outdoor!

The whole area is not a commercial tourist destination so if you are looking for fancy restaurants etc try some bigger cities / town, if you are looking for natural beauty and peacefulness then look no further as Dalsland has plenty! 

I hope the review helps!

A great Hotel for your outdoor activities in Dalsland!

For us this was the only option available when in need for a room for the night, but we regret not just continue to drive to find something else.
Ed is not a very idyllic place and the hotel including facilities does not look good at all. The small apartment we got had a combined living room and kitchen including a separate bedroom and a bathroom. It also had a huge terrace overlooking the railway that runs just in front of the hotel. But it was not appealing at all as it seemed very old, needed some paint and was lacking any furniture...
The best I can say about this stay is that a guy turned up at our apartment and fixed a non-functioning WIFI.
Breakfast was not too bad, but overall this hotel is not recommended! And far too expensive for what you get...

Old and shabby hotel in the middle of nowhere - stay away!

Loved the place we stayed in. It was so clean and comfortable.  The owner and staff were so helpful.  We were there to find where my Grandmother was from in the area and they not only gave us good direction they were also interested in what we were doing. They also gave us suggestions on other places to see in the area. We could have stayed longer but didn't have the time. The lodging there is the best
