Very noisy -- don't expect to be able to sleep

Excessive noise from cars in the street all night. The hotel's solution was to offer earplugs to their guests. Trust me, you are going to need them. But do not expect to be able to sleep since the noise is beyond any earplug on earth. And no breakfast for us, since the breakfast service didn't open until late in the morning -- and we couldn't wait that long before we had to leave, just as many other guests.

Prima en kamer net hotel. Fijne keuken met alle benodigdheden wel waren de anti-aanbakpannen al wat beschadigd/verslechterd. Het ontbijt was ook lekker met ook lactose vrije yoghurt en melk als optie. De kamer was iets wat tochtig, en soms wat onrustig door de gedeelde wc en douche die er vlak naast waren. Zat aan de achterzijde van het hotel dus geen last gehad van de trein en het overige verkeer die langs de voorzijde rijden.

Mellanlandning UmeÄ

StĂ€dning bra! Lite trĂ„ngt i vandrarhemsköket (mĂ„nga gĂ€ster samtidigt). Saknade möjlighet reglera temp pĂ„ rummet eftersom öppet fönster innebar mycket ljud frĂ„n trafiken utanför, lĂ„ngt ut pĂ„ natten. Bra sĂ€ngar! Bra frukost⭐⭐⭐! Fint med fĂ€rdigbĂ€ddade sĂ€ngar. Önskar fler möjligheter att hĂ€nga upp klĂ€der mm pĂ„. Synd att UmeĂ„ Ă€r sĂ„ krĂ„nglig/dyr stad med parkering. / Peter 🤠 & Ingegerd đŸ™‹â€â™€ïž
