Liked: Great central location next to the river and restaurants, clean rooms
Disliked: Summers in Sweden are getting hotter. This hotel does not have air conditioning, and on a 30 C day, the room was very hot when we checked in. They could not provide us with a fan either as apparently all their fans were already taken. We left our windows open all night which also meant a lot of noise from the street below including the hotel pub… made it difficult to sleep. I would request the management to make fans available in each room.

Liked: Amazing hotel, staff, breakfast, location.
Disliked: The only downside was that our prepaid parking was difficult to locate, with no landmarks or signage. An updated parking handout with a photo of the doorway entrance would be helpful. Other wise, a wonderful stay!

Disliked: The boxspring bed had way too much give for my comfort, but that's a matter of taste. The reading lamp didn't function.

Liked: We stayed in the new part of the hotel, with a balcony overlooking the river. Perfectly sized room and comfortable bathroom. We also enjoyed the roof terrace which was excellent. I just wished the water in the pool were a couple degrees colder as it was warm weather.
