We came in from the Netherlands to Mellerud and we stayed 3 nights in the hotel.
The staff is nice, the rooms are clean and the beds sleep very comfortable. Breakfast is included and is fine, you can make yourself fresh orange juice but the machine is missing a spout so the juice goes everywhere but in the glass. Time to replace that juice maker!
Across the road is a supermarket for everything you need to buy.
It was an enjoyable stay.

Very nice stay in the country side.

Booking through a third-party website, I was initially booked into this motel's annex, which proved to be a disastrous experience.  See my review of Villan Annexet.

When workers finally showed up on Monday morning, I had breakfast at the buffet, which was small but adequate.  After eating, I asked to speak to Nina, the lady I'd talked to on Saturday (and learned that no one worked at the motel or annex on the weekends).

I explained how I'd been left high and dry, in accommodations that were inadequate and sub-par, and left me totally isolated from the world with no cell phone or the promised wi-fi.  

I expected an argument or serious discussion, so I was completely amazed when she offered a very sincere apology.  And it was obvious that she'd not dealt with U.S. customers before as she was completely unaware that U.S. cell phones do not work in Europe or Scandinavia, so she had no idea I was unable to make any contacts, including calling her, except for the wonderful kindness of strangers.

She then asked if she could try to make it right by moving me into the main hotel, for the same rate as the annex, for the remainder of my stay.  I agreed.

What a complete turn-around.

My new room was huge, with a very large bath.  It was also very quiet and extremely clean.  Unlike the annex room, this one did have a fan for cooling, it had the information as to how to connect to wi-fi, and it had information regarding the motel and Mellerud in both Swedish and English!

Thus my disastrous first two nights in Mellerud, turned into very pleasant ones for my next four nights.

I cannot thank Nina enough for her gracious apology and kind offer to make it right.  It's what we all expect businesses to do, but which, unfortunately, they rarely do without a huge fight.

By the way:  the free wi-fi was excellent.

Notes:  There is no taxi service in Mellerud ... unless you contact the motel about a week in advance to book something; there are no workers at the establishment during weekends (except the month of July); the restaurant is not open for dinner until July; you enter the motel through the restaurant entrance, and the check-in is at the end of the bar; although the third-party booking site took my American Express card information it failed to inform me that this motel does not accept AmEx.  The only thing that saved my bacon was my Visa debit card.

Rescued from a awful experience.

Apart from establishing that the entrance to the hotel is through the restaurant, the character of the hotel is just perfect for its setting. Staff very helpful and conversant in English. Rooms vary drastically in size, so check which you get (not #3 or #5) preferably, although the rooms are all appropriately equipped. And a basic dinner buffet is included in the price. 

Homely small hotel

We stopped in Mellerud for one night and we had the chance to find a room in this lovely hotel. Comfortable, tidy, with a very nice staff.
The room was big, with excellent bed.
I recommand this with kids too!

Comfortable and welcoming

Considering this is the only hotel in Mellerud, Sweden, it’s hard not to decide to stay here if visiting this small town on Lake Vanern.  

Nevertheless, it is defiantly a nice hotel at a fairly reasonable price.  The distinguishing feature,  however,  has got to be its dining area and adjoined bar.  Both are designed with  deep, and rich mahogany wood floors and brass accents throughout.  The lighting in both the dining room and bar are defiantly discerning and of high quality. 

The dining room has an elevated ceiling, with balcony seating looking out into the main dining area.  Large picture windows within the dining area allow plenty of sunlight in and give a nice view looking out. 

Breakfast is typical Scandinavian fare and is complementary when staying at the hotel.    

The rooms, themselves,  are above average in size, with thin carpet, a tv in a console, an armoire and beds that are moderately comfortable.  Overall, the rooms are very basic, with not too much flair.  The bathrooms are all vinyl with a shower surrounded by a plastic partition draining into the floor.  

The hotel rooms have their floors  elevated off the ground  and tend to creak a bit when walking over them.  The walls between the rooms are on the thinner side and  not overly  soundproof. However, in all my stays in Scandinavia, this is the first hotel I've stayed at that had an oscillating fan available for creating a  bit of noise when sleeping at night.  In addition, the hotel rooms sit off the main street, so no worry about traffic noise.

Overall, my 2 nights staying at the Wardshuset Pa Dal were a pleasant and enjoyable experience and I wouldn't hesitate staying here again.
