Upon arrival, the prepaid hotel rooms were not available: the hotel was fully booked and the problem, according to the hotel on Booking.com, was that there were no rooms available!
The hotel then transferred us to the Scandic hotel; a much lower class and quality hotel. We did not get reimbursed for the hotel.
First Hotel Jönköping is conveniently located 4 km from Jönköping city centre. It offers free parking and rooms with free WiFi. Jönköping Airport is a 15-minute drive away.

Really loved the staff and the breakfast (for the most part). The location was amazing and everything was close by (except for the A6 / Asecs mall).
I will be writing more about what I didn't like - but these are simply a matter of "what could they maybe do better?" and "If you aren't use to Sweden, think ahead and factor things in" so your expectations are appropriate
I truly cannot overstate how truly grateful I am to the staff, especially at reception, the bar and the cleaning staff as everyone was friendly, engaging, customer focused and extremely helpful.

very quiet city, mondays are definately dead at night. you can go around the city mostly walking or on scooter. we visited all the main places in the first 3 days, even the visingsö island (also small). there are many nice places to eat though, burgers, italian, ice cream, even a brewery. if you go with car it's much easier to move around and visit the nearby cities. if you like nightlife, not your place to visit. and like everywhere on sweden, you can communicate in english just fine.

To be honest, we didn't intend of staying more than an overnight on our way home, but the hotel we stayed at (Clarion Collection Hotel Victoria) was so great we decided to explore Jönköping. Had the weather been warmer we likely would have wanted to extend our stay because it seemed like a lovely little area. We visited the Matchstick museum which was interesting. We would have gone to Husqvarna as well, but it was too cold and rainy that day.

Jonkoping is a mix of modern and traditional Swedish architecture, good museums and transport links (the Jonkoping Taxi app was very useful and easy to use). The town has some really nice restaurants and shops and sits on the shores of a beautiful and massive lake Vattern. There are also modern retail parks with loads of restaurants and shops and yes there is an Ikea. The town also is extremely clean and safe, I was out very late at night and felt no threat or danger whatsoever. The local people are very freindly. Would love to see more of Sweden in the future.

The County (länsmuseum) museum has a John Bauer exhibition of his troll and fairytale paintings. Across in the library section there is the exhibition of Jönköping´s history through the ages, while the Match museum near the railway station reveals the shocking and toxic working conditions the women and children worked under to produce the first matches, then safety matches, a Swedish invention, at this first factory. Breathing in the phosphor fumes led to phosphor necrosis of the jawbones and skull. Be glad you didn´t need to work in those days and conditions.

Jönköping is a great little city, the matchstick museum was interesting and there were beautiful views over the lake. Plenty of places to eat and drink and even a lakeside beach...a great place for a short break.
The hotel is well placed in central Jönköping. It's very close to the train station and shopping centre. It's an old but well appointed building, the atrium dining area is gorgeous!!! Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were just lovely, very helpful and happy to answer anything.
Breakfast, fika and our evening meal were included. All in the food was lovely. A great selection. Dinner had only one option, which if we weren't vegetarian wouldn't have been an issue.
The ‘family cottage’ was perfect for our stay in Jonkoping. So much packed into our one little efficiency unit - 3bedrooms, a kitchenette, living room and bathroom and a half bathroom ensuite off the master bedroom. even an outdoor and indoor eating space. The walk into the the main town from campsite was a gravol and paved pathway along a sandy beach littered with public bbq pits - it really could not have been more perfect for our family of five.
We had twin superior room on 4th floor. The room looked good, quiet and in a good shape. It was quite calm in general, not many people. It was nice to have fridge on the hallway for sharing as well. Open parking with plenty of spaces. Good bed.
You can walk to the city centre (5 km) along the lakeside and visit nice rose park on the way. If you have a bike, it’s even better, as the walk back is already a bit of too much. :)
Nice quiet location close enough to Jonkoping centre. Very hospitable owners that go out of their way to ensure you have a comfortable stay. The breakfast was as good as all the reviews say it is (especially the freshly baked gluten free bread). Thoughtful touches like fresh fruit, beverages, tea and coffee were a nice treat. We will definitely stay again if the opportunity arises.
Very clean and comfortable hotel. The rooms had bunk beds, a small dining table with 2 chairs. The kitchen was inside the room with basic utensils for 2 people. The washroom was in the corridor and so was the shower area. Didn't feel it was a problem. The hotel's location is very good. The bus station was within walking distance. The reception staff's really good as well.
The place is good as a starting point for walking around Jönköping and its surrounding area. Next to it there is Lidl and a few fastfood places, so you can find everything you'd need in the walking distance. Parking lot is free and comfortably placed. Breakfasts were really good!
Great location with view over Vättern from our room. Friendly staff, good price and rather large rooms. Possibility to rent garage space for a small fee (95 SEK/night), although the parking space is tight, a larger car wouldn't have fit.
"+": good option for a short term stay in jönköping, nicely decorated with the prints of john bauer works. good location close to everything. tasty & crispy bacon at breakfast!
Breakfast was good if a little lacking in choice compared to other Scandic hotels I have stayed in. No complaints though. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.
