What a gem in the heart of Jonkoping--loved it!

We LOVED this hotel. It was wonderful! Super convenient location in the heart of town, walkable to shopping, restaurants, coffee, and the train station! The staff was so helpful and friendly. The amenities (breakfast, sauna, foot soak) were excellent! And this hotel probably has the most incredible breakfast spread of any hotel we've visited--it was beautifully displayed as well. Would highly recommend this hotel and definitely would stay there again!

Bra

Ett typiskt ointressant hotell. Inga anmärkningar - allt prydligt och välordnat och dessutom stadsbussar utanför hotellet. För den som bara kommer på kvällen och försvinner nästa morgon är det ett bra hotell. Också frukosten är helt ok. Dock inget ställe jag skulle fira familjehögtider på.
