L'hôtel est situé le long d'une voie rapide et dans une zone hôtelière en travaux ce qui induit des nuisances sonores que le double vitrage ne peut qu'attenuer... et il ne peut rien contre les bruits de perceuse vers 08h00 un samedi matin ou les cris des femmes de ménage à 08h30. Le deuxième matin, les grandes serviettes avaient été à moitié remplacées par des petites serviettes. La "suite" possédait une kitchenette avec evier, cafetière, bouilloire et pour moyen de cuisson un simple four à micro-ondes. L'hôtel est également mal situé car le tram le plus proche est plus de 15 min de marche et il faut 40 min pour rejoindre le centre ville. Le prix de cet hotel est relativement exagéré compte tenu des prestations fournies.

Stannade en natt. Trevligt bemötande. Allt till belåtenhet. Frukosten utmärkt. Att ta sig till och från hotellet utan bil på kvällen inte helt lätt. Finns spårvagn på gångavstånd (20 min). Ingen buss. Taxi finns förstås.
