This was a wonderful and romantic stay, my husband and I had an amazing time. The view of the church from our room was stunning, and the restaurant on the corner had the most amazing fish and chips I've ever had! The hotel staff were very nice, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. 10/10 would recommend.

Quaint, but still has great amenities like a delicious breakfast spread, heated bathroom floors, and soft beads. In the summer the upper floors get hot (at least I who am used to air conditioning) but the staff was so nice and brought us two fans. It’s really easy to walk to so many great places, the Castle, the library, the cathedral, the botanical gardens and more) and the staff are great at giving directions and tips. We also were lucky enough to get a room with history, so ours being Queen Kristina. Overall would stay again in a heartbeat, thanks to any staff who are reading this!

This hotel is very close to the University and a short walk to the main shopping area. It’s about 1 kilometer from the central station. The rooms are Spartan, but clean. There are no facilities for making tea or coffee in the room. The wi-fi is secure. The breakfast is plentiful, but with no warm food. The staff are wonderful. The laundry and sauna are free.
