Overall it’s a decent hotel. Just warning that WiFi didn’t work at all in our room on third floor. Receptionist at the front desk basically told me ‘it is what it is’. Luckily I could use my network data in Sweden and it was a holiday not a work trip.

It was good.

The hotel looked better than expected. Check in was fast and problem free. The room was adequate and the bathroom fitted our needs. The shower was very good. We had breakfast for 3 days for which we coukd specify our arrival time. However, no one was ever there checking if we had arrived at our stated timeslot. After the first night, the middle lift broke down. For the rest of the weekend we had wait to grt up or down. I think the problem was made worse as there were lots of groups of women in pink, all going up or down at the same time. We ended up using the stairs as we arent the type to push our way in even though we had waited longer than some who didnt understand the queue concept. The staff were all nice and the breakfast team seemed very hard working. The location is very good. Really close the tram line, supermarkets and late night food. 10 minites to the train station and probably the same to Haga etc.... I would recommend if wanting something value for money.
