Great location, just next to the river. Personnel was super helpful and kind. We booked a room with our dog and baby. Hotel provided bed and water bowl for dog, as well some treats and poop bag. For baby we got crib. Really baby and dog friendly hotel and personnel. Great communication with hotel before hand. Maybe not mentioned, but hotel has gym, saunas and small swimming pool - great to relax after busy day. Room has extra towels and pillows if needed. Great options of food for breakfast. Hotel is cca 20min walk from city center. There were also bicycles to rent, but we did not need that.

Location, helpful staff, clean, good restaurant Mention to x2 staff members Hedda Braunethielm ( 20.6.25) who when I asked could I leave our luggage somewhere (we arrived early and had invite from nearby friends to celebrate midsummer) told us we could check in early, then upgraded us to Riverside view with teamaking facilities even I asked for a kettle for original room allocated! We strongly recommending this hotel/chain. And Maya Habbar who was very friendly and helpful 21.6.25

Perfect for pet owners. If you book a room with river view, it will be very calm and quiet. I don’t know how it feels in the rooms on the other side, towards motorway. Green area, close to city center. Very pet friendly hotel, there is special area where you can have breakfast with your dog inside hotel and outdoor terrace for warmer seasons. Nice and friendly personal.

Breakfast, swimmingpool, Gym etc. all included. Perfekt hotel for a stop over on the way to skiing vacation.

The bath room, especially the toilet wasn't that clean when we checked in

Good location as a stopover from Stockholm to the North. Easy to find. Very friendly staff and good facilities. Lovely breakfast. Rooms overlooking the river were more expensive but a better view and away from the main road.

Dinner was pricey for what it was but think that may be a Sweden price thing. Rooms have wooden floors which means in the room above 'clumps about' you can hear them. <ore like a motorway hotel as it has a petrol station attached to the side not shown in pictures.

Rooms were nice. Hotel has nice view on the river.

Pool was crowded by 5 unattended noisy and wild children. (I am a mother myself, so there is no need to put me in the children’s hater corner)
