The hotel is near transport and restaurants. The location is convenient, especially with the Arlanda Express train so close. Staff were mostly friendly and helpful.

The rooms are small. There was not much closet space. I found the shower configuration interesting and not in a good way. Every time I walked past the TV, I hit my elbow. There was barely any space.
