We were there some weeks ago. Our room was OK the bath was not good, we do not like this kind of bath were you take a shoure withour a tube on the floor. The room was quite and the breakfast was great. we were there for one night and it was good. The service could be better if the stuff at the reception carring more about us....

We stayed for one night when we were visiting family. Had a lovely room that looked newly decorated and very trendy with coat hangers on the wall instead of a wardrobe. The largest TV in a hotel room we have ever seen and a good shower. There was a seating area as well and all looked very clean and modern. Breakfast was good too - buffet style with plenty of choice. Good location within walking distance to the railway station and main square in Gavle. Only disappointment was that there was no bottled water in the room and we had to pay a premium to purchase some at the reception. After staying at the airport Best Weston Hotel we did expect at least water in the room but this did not spoil an excellent overnight stay.

Had a single room with shared shower and toilets. Bed was not too comfortable but adequate. Nice food in restaurant downstairs at reasonable price and very good buffet breakfast. Parking available in parking house just down the street.

From the first call and all the way to check out, everyone on staff has been amazingly sweet. They don't only provide the services you ask for more than willingly, but they also go the extra lengths and make sure that their guests are having a good time. Breakfast had pretty much everything one can ask for accept baked beans. A really nice detail was a juice press so one can make fresh pressed orange juice. Our room was pretty small but had everything one might need. Bring your own conditioner though, because the only thing available in the shower was a combined hair- and body wash. Comfortable beds, but not the thickest blankets. Bring a warm Pyjamas or ask for an extra blanket.

In trying to get a balance between price and convenience it sometimes doesn't work and this was one of those times. The hotel is on the opposite side of the town centre, which was much bigger than we expected so it proved to be a longer walk than expecteded from the station. If you arrive by train and are staying here get a taxi! On our arrival we had to push through a crowd of smokers in the doorway....as it had started to rain many of them nothing to do with the hotel. The room was adequate if a bit "bijou" and space was at a premium. The hotel was quieter than expected gioven it was on a busy road frontage. It is convenient for the local amenities and restaurants. The breakfast was excellent and we ate in the hotel restaurant on the first night as it was tipping it down outside....simple good quality food with good value.

The room was appropriate and good business hotel standard. Clean and functional but not extraordinary. The breakfast was basic swedish standard, a plus is that you can make your own fresh orange juice.

Booked for four nights, but stayed just one. Staff good and friendly but the hotel was poor. "On site parking" means in a shopping centre a couple of blocks away. Rooms small with no space to move around. No facility for coffee making in room but available in lobby.

So, a hotel that might be OK for a night or two I guess... But... I try to be kind in my opinion about hotels here... I think that the least a paying customer can expect is a clean room. Since this was not the case I feel inclined to put a worse grade here. There were stains on the toilet, in the sink and in the shower upon arrival. The hairdryer was dusty, and the space behind the toilet had probably not been cleaned for a couple of weeks. Service was fine otherwise. Breakfast ok, nothing to complain about. Internetconnection was poor. Worked fine sometimes and other times not at all. On top of it all ventilation was really loud from the toilet. Wouldn't choose this hotel if I had the possibility to choose (work trip) Summary : + Service Breakfast - Cleaning Internetconnection

Stepped for a one night stay over on my way north as i was travelling by motorbike. A central city hotel with access to local shopping and plenty of restaurants - ideal for a city layover. I had a single room with shared bathroom but the hotel was empty so that was not a problem. Lots to do in the town and lively locals.
