The hotel is convenient located opposit the train station (3 hour train ride from stockholm). The rooms are simple but comfortable. The shower is powerfull and of good temperature. The hotel restaurant closes at 9pm so you have to be early. The breakfast is in buffet and the choice is limited but good. All I am missing is warm eggs and sausages (always miss those in Sweden) The best thing is the free wifi in the hotel, the worse the total lack of drinks (but the supermarket is nearby and open till 9pm)
