Excellent location for tourists, walking distance to most common attractions. Good variety of options in breakfast buffet, will do better with an extra coffe machine. Room ammenities sufficient for the seasoned traveler, just VERY BASIC toiletries, no problem I travel with mine. Personnel very attentive. The property however will love some carpets, paint and decor upgrades in general.

While the location is central the street felt just a little seedy. The room was tiny and my window faced the interior courtyard overlooking the restaurant. I also had to walk far to get to my room. Just not a great experience, especially as the price was high. Breakfast was excellent and staff were helpful.

Very complete delicious breakfast with espresso machine and variety of milk, juices and coffees. Small refrigerator in room was set to keep small bottles of water just cooler than room temp and room AC did not maintain the cooler setting we prefer for sleeping but this seems to be typical for Scandinavia where most hotels focus on heating rather than cooling. Learned to remove padding from duvet so it was not too warm covering at night. Cheerful and helpful staff.
