Lyx och fint och god frukost men inte så barnvänligt
Pros:

Fint, rent, bra sängar, bra personal

Cons:

Trångt vid frukosten vilket är svårt med små barn, små bord, inga remmar till barnstolen - liten detalj men gör väldigt stor skillnad för en ensam mamma om jag vet att ettåringen inte kan klättra ur - då kan jag hämta lite mat. Förstår att de blir smutsiga men köp ett gäng från ikea och byt då och då - det är en detalj som gör skillnad.

excellent place to stay in Stockholm in high quality surroundings.
Pros:

the location is excellent and there is no noisy surroundings at all, but so nice buildings and high social security and wellness. The breakfast was excellent, also free cafe and small cakes 24/24.

Läge och frukost, kanon. Slitna rum och för liten matsal, kan förbättras.
Pros:

Frukosten var bra men matsalen för trång. Folk krockade med varandra.

Cons:

Slitet rum. Behöver renoveras. Rost och avskavd färg i badrummet. Bra städning dock.

Cons:

The hotel fraudulently double charged us - once at the premise and then later via booking.com by claiming we had not checked in. We submitted the proof of payment, however they never replied again. So now we have to wait for a police investigation.

Fantastisch
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Goed en uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet. Ontbijtbuffet werd continue aangevuld. Koffiebar waar je de gehele dag koffie/thee en koek kon krijgen.
Kamer werd altijd goed gepoetst.

Cons:

De ontbijtzaal was druk en misschien iets te krap voor het aantal gasten.

Hotel w porządku, dobre śniadanie, dobra lokalizacja.
Pros:

Bardzo dobre i różnorodne śniadanie.

Cons:

W pokoju było zamknięte okno, ale ciągle pojawiały się owady (biedronki) najprawdopodobniej przez dziurę w suficie.
