Pros - Breakfast was good - vegan options available. Staff pleasant and helpful. Room was clean and presentable. Con - pillows in bed were hard flat and uncomfortable otherwise I would highly recommend for the close proximity to ABBA Voyage experience and also excellent regular rail links within a 10 minute walk. Overall a good experience.
