Beautiful and well maintained location just above Stockholm. We stayed here with 2 children aged four and five. With a beach, boats and a nice playground it is ideal for families! We stayed in a Marholm cabin, a lovely house with a sauna and a good kitchen. The only thing missing is a dishwasher ;). The service is also good! I had a small discussion about something that was unclear on the website. After they saw it themselves on the website I was immediately compensated for this. definitely a place to visit again!

“Back again!”

This our 4 visit. Money is always tight so to spend it 4 times at the same place is a testament to how good Marholmen is. We usually arrive a few hours before check in but as we go for a long walk around the grounds this is not problem. Easy friendly check in, clean and well maintained room and go… more

This our 4 visit. Money is always tight so to spend it 4 times at the same place is a testament to how good Marholmen is. We usually arrive a few hours before check in but as we go for a long walk around the grounds this is not problem. Easy friendly check in, clean and well maintained room and good food, drink and service. The breakfast seemed very busy but didn’t affect the food or service. Only problem that I didn’t catch any fish when I went fishing but I think that’s actually because I’m not a very good fisherman (suppose I have to admit it sometime!!). Thanks Marholmen and now it’s time to start saving again for our next trip. Simon with family( 2 adults. 2 kids)

Had a relaxing stay here in the Gula Villa. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings, spa and spa treatments were a highlight. Very well equipped and comfortable house, and lots of activities available. Only negative was our experience renting a boat, staff lacks confidence and experience to explain how to use them. So would only recommend that activity if you've used similar boats before.

“Nice facility, with possible birdwatching from balcony”

I stayed in Marholmen, in the hotel for about 5 days, late March early April 2021. I have always overlooked Marholmen before, thinking it was a conference and spa hotel.

I stayed in Marholmen, in the hotel for about 5 days, late March early April 2021. I have always overlooked Marholmen before, thinking it was a conference and spa hotel. Well, it is that, also, but it is also a facility tailored to families, and casual tourists. It is one of the archipelago hotels, that is accessed by car, (good if you want to avoid public transport, such as during the ongoing covid 19, pandemic) . That said, actually there is not really any useful way to get to Marholmen by public transport, since it is located in the countryside, in the middle of nowhere. The facility is built on a hotel, but also cottages where you can self cater. I stayed in the hotel, and I had chosen a room with a sea view. Good room, relatively comfortable bed and a nice easy chair, (that would seat 2 people if they are ok with sitting close). Nice little balcony. Sea view rooms, view of a narrow sound, with lots of sea birds. But not a view of the open sea towards the horizon. I set up my scope and tripod on the balcony and could see many species of migrating and stationary ducks, geese, swans and grebes, + other birds!! Wow!! (actually regular binoculars would be enough) Kettle, but no fridge. The room lacks space for storing belongings. Good service, with staff being professional and taking an interest in guests, but, it still has a little bit of a large hotel anonymity and professionalism over it. Covid 19 routines good, with screens between guest and staff at the reception, and restaurant reception,and lots of space between guests at breakfast and dinner. The food is good, but very limited selection, (I exhausted the entire dinner selection during my 5 day stay), also not for the budget minded. Great selection at the breakfast of everything you could want for breakfast. Possible to collect a lunch pack at breakfast, for the days excursion, including filling your termos, (but they don´t market this, and not many people are doing it, so they are not used to it.): (the restaurant serves lunch some days, during busy times, but not every day. This is worth checking out, since there is also nowhere else to get lunch, since the location is very rural.) Nice inner archipelago environment, with fields, reed beds, some groves of different trees, and lots of historic buildings from Marholmen´s past as an educational and recreational facility for the Labour union movements. A cafe on the island, open during busy times of the year, and for those not knowing what to do with themselves in the archipelago nature, lots of outdoor activities like walking gym, crazy golf, quiz walk etc. And I think cayak rental and such during summer. Of cause bathing.
