Great Lunch Spot
“I had lunch on the restaurant balcony overlooking the river during my stay and it was lovely. It appeared to be a popular business lunch spot for locals, and the food was original-well prepared and beautifully presented.” view full review
Spacious Attic Suite
“We booked the Attic Junior Suite on the 5th floor, which was a fun experience for my children. The room was spacious enough for them to run around and featured a comfortable Hästens bed that made for peaceful nights.” view full review
Family-Friendly
“The accommodations were perfect for a family, especially with the spacious Junior Suite allowing my kids to feel at home. They enjoyed having a sofa bed, although I wished it was positioned differently for nighttime bathroom visits.” view full review
Functional Shower
“The shower had good enough pressure, but it was worth noting that the hot water could be a bit inconsistent. Still, it was a functional space that generally met our needs during our stay.” view full review
