Ulfsunda Slott

This was a delightful place to have a «Stay-​cation» at! The rooms were surprisingly beautiful. They were quite small, but wonderfully decorated! From looking at the fire escape plan it looked like ours was one of the largest rooms (and one with a bathtub.) Considering how small our room was, I would not want to go any smaller. I highly recommend you put in a request for a larger room!
I wish we stayed two nights and had enough time to use some of the amenities. They had a sauna out on the lake in the front that you could use. There was also a spa that you could pay for services at. They had a nice game room and lounge with an ok mix of old and new décor. I think it could have used a little better restoration and design in some places, but overall it was pleasant. Most of the really nice artwork and details in the castle are in the conference room area. We discovered everything by sneaking in and walking around. There is also a nice looking wine cellar that you can book in advance. I think they also have an evening bar or cocktail area (that we never made it to due to a late check in!)
The layout of the restaurant was not the best. I kept feeling like where they choose to put everything was not as user friendly or logical. They put the kitchen and the buffet across the entrance hall from the seating area. You could see the kitchen through the front windows of the main floor, which is not very proper. The whole food collection area for breakfast was in a hallway – which, of course was tight and crowded. But, thats a designers perspective, maybe other people don’t care so much about those details. One other thing about breakfast was that the cook couldn’t keep up with the demand, so over half of the food choices were out (and only replenished 15 minutes before closing time.) It was a good thing we were moving slow and enjoying ourselves because I would’ve missed out on a few things. Breakfast was really good though! I do have to say that!!!
I loved the décor, but I could see a little to be desired in some small places that bugged me. The entrance was not as lavish as the castle’s history should demand. The bluish «club lighting» was cheesy and needed to go. It looked like the area with the mini-​bar in the room could have used a little TLC, it had watermarks and scratches all over it. The towels were stringy, old, had holes and needed serious replacement. The pillows were HUGE! My neck was killing me the next day. I wish they had smaller more normal sized ones behind the «presentation» pillows. I also didn’t like how you could see the gas station behind the castle, it kind of ruined the ambiance. There should be a better landscape of trees or something to hide that. There was also no real outdoor area or gardens to enjoy like you usually come to expect at a castle. Even a small area would have been sufficient. There was also no gym. I find that strange for a hotel not to have even a small facility for use.
Overall, I had a really good experience here. I would recommend someone to take a little wine and dine style spa weekend here. Or, in a more official capacity, hold a work conference here. I do think that there are nicer, bigger and more extravagant castles in Sweden you can stay at, but this one is convenient being so close to the city and the Bromma airport. It’s a nice quaint little «get away» without really getting away.
