1.Location: This is downtown located hotel, very convenient to start the traveling. It is in10 minutes walking distance to Motala central station, and 2~3 minutes working distance to multiple bus stations nearby. 2. Service: Service is quite good, especially the receptionists. The food is also quite good with quite a lot choices.

Not to be recommended

The hotel is not close to four stars, I think the stars only apply to Motala.. the rooms are very old and it stinks, the floor cracks when walking.. a star and not more. The bathrooms are very narrow and dirty, water in the shower does not drain by itself.

I advise anyone not to book this hotel

This hotel is a disgrace. I booked for three days and had nothing but trouble for two of them. Check-in was a disaster. I had to wait for someone from outside to come into my room, and that was at 10 p.m. because no one is in after 9 p.m. If you want to use the hairdryer, you can forget it, as the hotel has a maximum of 1,000 watts. If you have more than that, the power in the room goes out, which I experienced all night. The rooms are very old and smelly, the beds are very old, the floors creak when you walk on them, and the bathrooms are very old and dirty. The hotel isn't rated four stars, but one star at most. I wanted a discount for this, but the hotel was very greedy and didn't accommodate me. I advise anyone not to book this hotel unless you really want to have problems.

Hotellet är ok. Men det är gammalt, charmigt med patina. Bokade sviten, rummet o storleken är bra. Går till barskåpet. Det står vattenkokare och neskaffe o te på skåpet samt två vinglas. Jag öppnar kylskåpet och det är totalt tomt!? Här vill vi inte ha några extra inkomster tänker jag. Frukosten är godkänd kanske bra tom. Ägghalvor med lite västkustsallad det är gott. Annars det vanliga på hotell, ingen överaskning. Frågar efter några fler ägghalvor, personal svara -vi har vanliga kokta ägg också?????? Just det ja!
