Nynas Havsbad

I have stayed here three times in the past few years and expect I will be returning in the future as well. The hotel is beautifully located by the seaside and the area is generally very picturesque. Staff has always been friendly and helpful during our stays. We have yet to try having lunch and dinner here, but the breakfast is nice. Basic, but good. I have read some complaints about the cleaning, but have never encountered any problems in that area myself. The rooms are probably due for an overhaul, but absolutely suffice. As for the drawbacks, the main one for me is the lack of airconditioning. The rooms have a tendency to get unberably hot in summer, but cracking open a window will basically get you swarmed by bugs. Mosquitoes, gnats and flies are abundant, as are some pretty sizeable spiders (one got into my bed and another one came too close for comfort. Do not recommend). This is a forested area in addition to being waterside and bugs are to be expected, but I absolutely don’t understand why the hotel doesn’t at least invest in some netting/screen windows so guests can cool the rooms down a bit without issuing an open invitation to all manners of insects. Some rooms have a fan, but fans really only serve to move the warm, stale air around a bit. I also wish spa entrance was included in the room price as 450 SEK daily is way too steep for pool/sauna access, lovely as the spa pavillion is. Other spa services I’ll happily shell out for. All in all we are always pleased to stay here for a few days, but some improvements are increasingly in order to justify the price point.
