Utsikten från rummet Undvika att borden blir belastade med disk under frukosten.
frukost var det bästa Det sämsta var sängen (kändes som soffa). Jag hade bokat en dubbelsäng, men fick två ihopskjutna enkelsängar. Rummet var så varmt och kvavt att det inte hjälpte att öppna fönstret. hela upplevelsen blev dåligt eftersom jag kunde inte sova hela natten pga värmen och att sova på soffan
Läget, rummet, personalen Golvvärme i badrummet, det är det enda
Bra läge. Bra kvalitet för pengarna Kaffet till frukosten ät fortfarande blaskigt Säkert 25.e gången jag bor på Dlite Stora hotellet trots Match Victoria och andra konkurrenter men kaffet till frukost måste ni förbättra. En station med mörkrosa kaffe önskar jag
Bra frukost
Utsikten och hög standard på rummet Påmint oss om att vi hade beställt tvårätters meny 😋
Trevlig personal, bra rum, god frukost, perfekt läge och hundvänligt.
Trevligt mottagande, superbra frukost Saknade ett litet bord på rummet
Mycket trevligt där. Kan inte komma på något.
Det dina rummet med utsikt mot sjön, solig uteservering och ett trevligt välkomnande som alltid på Elite.

Hej Robert, Vi uppskattar att du tog dig tid att recensera din vistelse! Din feedback är oerhört viktig för oss. Vi beklagar att rummet inte levde upp till dina förväntningar vid ditt senaste besök. Städning och fräschör är väldigt viktigt för oss, och vi tar till oss dina synpunkter för att förbättra våra rutiner. Vi hoppas få möjlighet att ge dig en bättre upplevelse nästa gång du bor hos oss. Vi ser fram emot att få hälsa dig välkommen tillbaka. Med vänliga hälsningar, Caroline Receptionen Elite Stora Hotellet, Jönköping info.jonkoping@elite.se
Centralt beläget. Läste innan att det var nyrenoverat, men ni verkade ha glömt det rum vi hade! Saknade ventilation på rummet så det var extremt varmt. Luktade mögel på toaletten. Duschen fick man nästan dra ut vattnet från, då strålen var miniminimal. Glasen på rummet var dammiga o hade nog inte tvättats på det senaste året. Väldigt, väldigt smutsiga fönster. Trasig gardinupphängningen, som man måste ta i för att kunna dra för. Gardinerna hängde på trekvart. Vårt besök bokades genom ett Live it-presentkort. Känns som man därför fick ett B-rum, alltså lägsta möjliga comfort! Oerhört besviken! Ger inte en känsla av att boka nästa vistelse på Elite Stora Hotell någon mer gång.
Hej Britt Marie, Tack för att du delar med dig av din upplevelse efter ditt besök hos oss på Elite Stora Hotellet. Vi är glada att du uppskattade vårt centrala läge, men det är väldigt tråkigt att läsa om resten av din vistelse. Det du beskriver kring bristande ventilation, mögellukt, städning och underhåll av rummet är helt enkelt inte acceptabelt och ligger långt ifrån den standard vi vill erbjuda våra gäster. Vi vill också vara tydliga med att alla våra gäster ska få samma nivå av komfort oavsett bokningssätt, inklusive via presentkort som Live it. Det är beklagligt att du fått en annan upplevelse. Om du har möjlighet får du gärna kontakta oss direkt – vi skulle verkligen vilja få chansen att återställa ditt förtroende och ge dig den upplevelse du ska kunna förvänta dig av oss. Med vänliga hälsningar, Receptionen Anna Elite Stora Hotellet, Jönköping info.jonkoping@elite.se
Alltid lika trevligt duktig personal
Bemötande av en fantastisk personal Jag är jättenöjd
Parkering precis utanför. Bra städning. Inget att klaga över.
Bra rum och fantastisk frukost.
Rum med vacker utsikt över kanal och park. Mycket bra frukost. Trevlig personal
Centralt, trevlig personal. Kompis till mig var tvungen att boka 2 hotellrum då deras son inte fick sova hos honom och sin fru. Oavsett fördelning så får 1av3 sova själv. Inte okej mot en familj på 3. Nu åkte jag och min son själva och delade på ett rum men hade min sambo följt med så hade jag blivit irriterad över att boka 2 rum. Inte utifrån ekonomin utan att vi vill bo tillsammans. Så därav skulle jag eventuellt se över annat ställe trots fördelen av fint hotell och det centrala läget.
Trevlig personal med extra plus till frukostpersonalen! Inget speciellt…
Väldigt mysigt hotel, bra läge Inget , vi var jättenöjda. Kanske att priset för rummet var ovanligt högt med tanke på att det var lite gäster när vi var där

Trevlig personal. Kanonbra rum. Jätte bra frukost Toaletten idiotiska placering i delux rummet som i rum 302
Personalen och service på topp
Trevligt hotell med bra frukost. Rummet låg alltför nära hiss så jag blev mkt störd av det. Det rummet bör inte hyras ut eller så bör något göras åt hissen motorljud minskas.rumm 331
Väldigt mysigt och rent rum. Frukosten var supergod – hit kommer vi gärna igen! Vi trivdes väldigt bra, men tyvärr var duschmedlet tomt – kanske något att ha extra koll på framöver. Annars vi är jättenöjd av besöket.
Ett bra rum

Trevlig personal, fina rena rum, bra gym och väldigt central. Jag är ingen frukostmänniska men ser att ni har ett fantastiskt utbud på buffén. Ett extra litet plus för den gulliga trappen för barn vid incheckningen:)
Framförallt det trevliga bemötandet i receptionen, fint rum och god frukost.

Läget, frukosten (fantastisk bra med stort urval) stora rum Kunde vara Varmare tevatten. Dörrmatta innanför rumsdörren när det slask /snö ute. Måla fönstren insida. Informera innan att det är bara 1 Tim parkering direkt utanför hotellet. Går alltså inte att parkera där om man kommer före 17.

History of the hotel
What was at that time known as Jönköpings Hotell was built in 1850. This was an enormously bold venture in a city with only 7000 residents. The hotel is one of the country’s oldest and most famous hotels outside the capital. When it opened in January 1860, it was the largest hotel in the country. The rationale behind the huge construction was Jönköping’s strategic location as a rail and road junction, which made it a natural stopover station on the finalized South Main Line.
Right from the outset, the hotel boasted a number of special features. On the ground floor, there was a restaurant, a café, a billiards room, an inn, bank offices and, after a few years, a bathhouse. The middle floor consisted primarily of hotel rooms and the upper floor housed banquet halls, clubrooms and a few other rooms. The Freemasons, then as now, held quarterly on the attic floor, which includes the great assembly hall, Johannessalen.
In 1863, the banquet and assembly rooms were finished two floors up. Since this time, the hotel has boasted the finest banquet facilities in Jönköping County. The hall was magnificent, with glittering gas-burning chandeliers, mirrored walls that gave the illusion of another room beyond, and décor that makes visitors feel as if they had been transported to a fairytale castle. Ever since this room has hosted countless magnificent and memorable balls and banquets.
