helpful staff flat whites

i appreciated the helpful staff and beautiful aesthetic of this presented hotel. Breakfast offered plentiful choices, with something for everyone. I especially enjoyed the flat whites available at breakfast time. i found the towel warmer to be a surprising feature.

The room felt a bit small. I noticed limited space for luggage and sitting outside of the bed. also, the laundry service charged an extra 60 sek for an unclear reason, and the front desk could not adjust it.

convenient location, good breakfast

convenient location good variety charming touch

the location near museums and attractions is superb. i especially appreciated being opposite the abba museum and close to the tram to the city center. breakfast had a good variety, though i wished for more leafy greens and hot food options beyond the standard fare. i was happy to receive chocolates in my room upon arrival, a charming touch for my birthday.

initially, i was given a lower-level room overlooking the courtyard, despite my request for a higher floor. although the morning colleague was able to change my room to a higher level the next day, the view was still not seaward. the change was appreciated nonetheless.

The breakfast had a very wide variety. I was very pleased to see filmjolk in the breakfast buffet. table tennis was available, a nice option for leisure. the location was wonderful, very close to skansen and grona lund.

The rooms were very basic. there was no water provided and no fridge. the beds were soft and not cleaned to perfection, i found. the restaurant staff required some attention. I expected better service.

the location is excellent. it is near the main tourist attractions, reachable by a short walk. the breakfast each morning was delicious, with variety. food was always fresh and the coffee hot.

the room was a tad small (very little space to leave luggage). we did a bit of laundry and they charged extra.
