Rooms were comfortable, clean, fully stocked with amenities. The front desk was amazing and ready with recommendations as well as a hot cup of coffee or varm sjkolade! The place to stay if you want to be in the middle of it all and directly at outside are the Christmas Markets.

Room was spotless, staff were friendly and fantastic central location, directly opposite the Christmas winter land. Bonus was the large gym in the basement and the really nice toiletries provided. Only down side was the size of the room which was pretty small.

The hotel was very nice but there were a few issues: 1. The room was very dark with inadequate lighting. 2. There wasn't anywhere to plug the hair dryer in the bathroom and no mirror in main room. 3. Couldn't see the coffe and tea facilities as very dark. 4. There was no view out of the window, only on to other rooms so no privacy.
