    The title "hotel" might be a bit misleading. I would rather classify it as a bed & breakfast or hostel. All rooms are located around the common area/ breakfast kitchen, meaning right outside your door there is somebody else sitting and having breakfast. It feels a bit squeezy. Breakfast is very simple and rustic, you grab your own plates etc. and also put them in the dishwasher after. With that in mind I found it a bit pricey.

    Good location, close to train station and restaurants, but still quiet area, comfortable beds, quiet, good size bathroom, short drive to Furuvik park

    The hotel was in a great location, right by the train station with the river opposite. Room and beds were comfortable, breakfast was good and the staff were helpful.

    The breakfast was a bit lackluster. A bit more variety in breads, some normal butter and coffee not from "cafe bar" would make the breakfast a whole lot better. The industrial roll holder was mostly in the way a lot and makes it feel like a public bathroom. Bathroom could have used some decoration or color to feel a bit more homey. Hallway between the outer gate and the entrance was always a bit too dark, but it was not really a problem finding the door. Tho most of my complaints are smaller, but my biggest complaint is the price. Tho I enjoyed my stay and with some tweks it could be a great option, a room here was the same price as most other hotels in the local area doesn't make me feel like I got a great value for the cost.

    I liked the cosy feeling of the whole operation. Staff were very kind and excellent. Beds were a bit hard, but that's the way I like them. There was no hassle checking in or out. I enjoyed my stay all-and-all

    Parking is not that easy. I recommend AIMO parkering close to trainstation and within 7 minutes walking distance

    - comfortable room and beds - large bathroom - everything in a good shape - very clean - games and books for entertainment - good breakfast - good communication via SMS for checkin

    We had a short stay, however there was no one at reception at any time we were there, not even at 10 AM. That sort of felt impersonal in an otherwise very cosy and lovely establishment which actually has a great personality.

    Breakfast and location were great!

    It's good but I would not call it a hotel

    I would not call it a hotel. I used to work in a very similar environment in Stockholm's Old Town as a receptionist that worked just in the morning. This had a very similar vibe - place inside a building, no staff available 24/7, common kitchen. I was expecting something a bit different from the name, but the overall experience was okay.

    The stay was very pleasant. Nice room, facilities, staff (although I saw one just in the morning) and breakfast too. There was a possibility to fix yourself 'an evening sandwich' and warm drinks were available 24/7 which was a big plus as the machine had coffee, chocolate, chai etc. Place was very clean and quiet.

    The room was quite small and outdated, but it was fine. Just expect the basics!

    Private room, good location, very friendly staff. Got parked straight outside the door, and it wasn't expensive to park. Nice bakery a few doors down. Breakfast was very basic but I found a few things I could eat as a wheat-intolerant vegan, so that was nice!

    Complex entry system. Code to get through the outside door, another code to get through the inner door. Swedish hotels don't like to employ people.

    Parking is only available on the street, which is metered. Unfortunately, this can only be paid using an app that would not work on either phone we had. I'm expecting to receive a fine in the mail as a reward for this institutionalised idiocy.

    Good central location. Functional breakfast. Check-in was self-service, which was quite convenient. Standard (Swedish-style) options for breakfast, all of good quality.

    I don’t think so I could even notice something wrong about property. Maybe double bed in the room - one bed for two people instead of two merged

    There was super close to every place like store, railway station and many others first need spots.

    Nothing! Everything was great.

    Nice hotel near the harbour but within a 10 minute walk of the town centre. Very warm welcome and the Team worked hard to make sure we were comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice. Tea and coffee available all day. Bountiful biscuits! Even an evening sandwich provided if you got peckish! Comfortable room with nice hot shower. Parking right outside which was free all weekend. We really enjoyed our stay! Hospitality 10/10! Thank you.
