Good stay in convenient location

We had a good stay, the pool area was a bonus and the staff were great. The meals were good quality and breakfast plentiful. The beds were very soft and didn't suit us and rooms a little dated and tired. Overall a nice pleasant stay in the right location for a stop before continuing our journey.

Nice rooms. Hotel was old, and facilities mostly same, pool looked nice though we did not use it. Hotel did not inform us about renovations. Hammering started 7 a clock, on top of that the motorway outside was constantly audible. According to staff, there was literally not a room we're you could not hear it constantly.

Craftsmen started at 7am, knocking and drilling on the floor above. Guests started banging on the walls to each other when there was no indication that renovations were taking place. It is unprofessional of the hotel to plan the renovation at times that dont take guests into account! This is a Hotel where you expect a good nights sleep. It can be planned at other times, for example 9am-5pm, as in other hotels. I have stayed at the hotel many times and had requested a room at the end of the hallway due to slamming doors, but this was not granted even though there were very few guests at the hotel.

Vi tog det billigaste rummet och fick troligtvis det sämsta rummet av denna variant. Toastolen hade kraftig beläggning som gjorde att det såg helt ostädat ut. Rummet var förövrigt väldigt enkelt och en av det sämsta rummet jag varit på i sverige på väldigt länge.
