Comfortable beds and a well-prepared breakfast with many choices make you feel extra cared for. We want our guests to enjoy themselves and leave our hotel with a smile on their faces!

We have room types for different needs and wishes.

The economy room is a smaller room type for the ones who wants a cheaper room and don't need a lot of space, we have standard rooms with a queen size bed and we offer a spacious business room, comfortable for meetings and conversations. If you are looking for a bathtub and a more luxurious feel, you can stay in our junior suite or the romantic room. We also have family rooms for the slightly larger family, which can accommodate up to six people.

All of our rooms are unique,

Named after various characters who lived around Astrid Lindgren as she grew up in this area. Many of these people inspired her and later became characters in her books, and you will find their stories in our rooms.

One room tells the story of the one armed Drifter Jocke Kis, the Thief Johan Samuel Lif that sold stolen goods to unsuspecting residents of the village Lönneberga, or the Broom Saleswoman Wood-Sarah who time after time wandered the 70 kilometers to her hut in the woods dispite the fact that the authorities all the time came to get her and drove her back to the town Rumskulla. The Brothers Phalén became the inspiration to the Brothers Lionheart as Astrid Lindgren saw a grave stone with the inscription "Here rests the tender brothers Phalén". The Collector Nisse Stolpe lived along with seven persons in an area of 8 square meters in Vimmerby and gathered all the time all kinds of items that he found, we have another room that tells the story of the woman who inspired Astrid Lindgren to the character Krösa-Maja in the stories of Emil of Lönneberga. She was called The Storyteller Marie of Vendeladal and Astrid came as child often to her home to her creepy stories.

Every room in our hotel tells the story of a person with a most interesting story.

At our hotel you are invited to an exciting mix of history and cosiness!
