Very good budget hotel. Close to central station and stores. Friendly and pleasant receptionists. A mirror in the room would be a good investment for the hotel.

Great location. Very pleasant and polite members of staff. Room although a bit on the small side was nice and cosy. The room could do with some natural ventilation apart from A/C. Breakfast although quite basic was adequate enough to set you up for the day.

The room was average sized and clean. Love the twin duvets for the king beds. The bed itself was comfortable and the hotel was quiet although I didn’t get the sense there were many guests. Instant coffee was provided which was convenient. The bathroom was awful. Quite easily the worst bathroom facility I’ve ever come across in Europe. It felt like I was on a cruise ship where I could brush my teeth, use the toilet, and shower at the same time. The sink was tiny with really no shelf. The shower wasn’t the usual tub with a glass partition you find in Europe. It was a continuous part of the floor (no basin or lip whatsoever) with a drain in the floor and a curtain. Using the shower flooded the entire bathroom. There was nothing you could do except take as fast a shower as possible and once dry, use your bath towel to try and sop up the floor. There wasn’t an outlet in the bathroom and the only mirror was in the bathroom. You couldn’t really use a hair appliance. The breakfast (which was included when we booked) wasn’t very good - powered eggs, sausage, some sort of hash brown patty, plain crepe. The fresh fruit/vegetables and pastries were alright. I guess for the price it was all we could ask for; I mean we used it mostly for sleeping. However, the bathroom situation was a definite negative and I’d never stay here again.

The fact that I was on the main floor and every time someone flushed the toilet upstairs I could hear that at night. No issues with staff nor breakfast that was all great.

Great choice
I read all the one star reviews and I really believe the writers would stay here if visiting again. While the comments about size are true, you can still have a good night sleep. Isn't that what a visitor wants? Two blocks from Coop grocery store, one block from the subway, walking distance from central station. Plenty of food and shopping. Given the price in an otherwise expensive city, it's a great deal. The breakfast is excellent!

Cold
Won't return. My room was clean and comfortable but very cold. The air pushed out from the ventilation system felt like the air conditioning was on, making it very uncomfortable in the room. The staff tried to help but could not control the ventilation.

Superbra budgethotell mitt i city.
Mitt rum var skinande rent vid ankomst och så höll de det till min utcheckning, riktigt bra. Frukosten var bra med ett stort utbud, köttbullar saknade jag dock. All personal var trevlig och hjälpsam. Centralt läge och billigt. Där bor jag gärna igen.

Winter stays
The rooms were cold on the 3rd floor. There wasn't enough heating. Otherwise the rooms are fine - comfy pillows, clean room and toiket. Haven't tried the breakfast. Stayed 3 consecutive Mondays during winter.
