Odd check in process.

At check in you need to enter all your personal data on the phone again to book a breakfast time. And you do not get a time that works for you.

A sleepless summer nightmare

I stayed at this hotel during the peak of summer, and unfortunately, it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I’ve had while traveling. **First and foremost, the air conditioning was broken**—a critical issue when temperatures were high. The room felt like a sauna, and despite people posing multiple complaints to the front desk, no effective solution was offered. To make matters worse, the hotel is located right next to a **cruising street where cars blast loud music late into the night**. The noise was relentless, and even with the windows shut (which only made the heat worse), the bass from the music kept vibrating through the walls. The hotel itself wasn’t much quieter. **Thin walls and poor soundproofing** meant I could hear everything from neighboring rooms and the hallway—doors slamming, people talking, and even footsteps above. It felt more like a party hostel than a place to rest. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful or comfortable stay, especially in the summer. Between the broken AC, the street noise, and the general lack of quiet, it was nearly impossible to get a good night’s sleep.

Tyckte hotellet var lite slitet och frukost matsalen var trång och ganska högljud för det fanns typ ingen lite lugnare avdelning utan mest anpassat för barnfamiljer då det satt TV apparater med barnprogram monterade på väggarna. Golvvärmen i badrummet på vårat rum fungerade inte fungerade inte så vi fick ha strumpor på oss på
