Good place to stay for a weekend

We were two girls staying for a little more than a weekend. The room was cozy and had a good kicthen with just enough supplies to make a good meal, close to nature and a good place to stay if your going by car.

Ett utmärkt boende för en rimlig peng. Så mysig gammaldags lägenhet. Lugnt och tyst på kvällarna. Cafet har god mat, det är ett populärt ställe dagtid.. Ligger fantastiskt vid Göta kanal.

Vi (familie med 3) hadde 3 fine dager i Motala på Mallboden. Rommet var velstelt og bra utstyrt for å lage frokost og enkle måltider, med separat soverom. Toalett og enkelt vaskerom i gangen, ellers nytt og veldig fint hus rett ved siden med toaletter, dusj og andre fasiliteter (deles med småbåthavnen). Mallboden ligger idyllisk til ved kanalen, med kafeen rett utenfor og en kulturscene på andre siden av kanalen. Når vi var der var det quiz-kveld i kafeen og et arrangement over kanalen, men alt var stille og rolig etter rundt kl 23. Veldig bra utgangspunkt for å utforske Motala og omegn på sykkel. Prøv vafler i kafeen, stort utvalg av alt fra standard vaffel til kebab-vaffel (OBS: stort!gutten vår på 12 gikk på en smell der...)

Fantastiska rum, gamla arbetarbostäder från 1800-talet. Kaféet också det lysande, våffelparadis. Och frukosten för en knapp hundring var fantastisk den också. Bodde för konsert i Lokverkstan, tar några minuter att gå längs kanalen. Drömställe!
