Talking to the staff and taking a shower (tho the bottle and cap for the body soap didn't work.

Good location on main shopping street. Can have loud street noise
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

We had a room facing the street so very loud. There was a live entertainment facility across the street. Even with closed windows it was very loud music. Unfortunately we got an urgent notice 11 minutes before Flybus pickup the pickup location had changed from the hotel. That was stressful

Sinceramente non lo consiglio
Pros:

Non abbiamo mai soggiornato qui. Arrivati fuori all’hotel ci hanno comunicato che fosse in manutenzione, nessun avviso o messaggio prima di allora e a causa di questa cosa abbiamo avuto problemi per il pernottamento e per il taxi prenotato il giorno dopo

Great hotel in the middle of a beautiful city
Pros:

The room was clean, comfortable and quiet enough, given the hotel’s proximity to the popular downtown walking area. It was convenient to shops, restaurants and sightseeing. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly, providing tips for our planned excursion to the Golden Circle and Vik.Very nice breakfast!

Hotel served its purpose of being centrally located
Pros:

Just needed a centrally located room for one night. Hotel served this purpose. Desk clerk was from my home state, so kudos to him.

Cons:

A lot of street noise. Room was small and shower stall was about the size of a coffin...i do not kid.
