Nice rooms. Hotel was old, and facilities mostly same, pool looked nice though we did not use it. Hotel did not inform us about renovations. Hammering started 7 a clock, on top of that the motorway outside was constantly audible. According to staff, there was literally not a room we're you could not hear it constantly.

Craftsmen started at 7am, knocking and drilling on the floor above. Guests started banging on the walls to each other when there was no indication that renovations were taking place. It is unprofessional of the hotel to plan the renovation at times that dont take guests into account! This is a Hotel where you expect a good nights sleep. It can be planned at other times, for example 9am-5pm, as in other hotels. I have stayed at the hotel many times and had requested a room at the end of the hallway due to slamming doors, but this was not granted even though there were very few guests at the hotel.

Det førsta som møter oss är en kontorstol som skulle ha varit på tippen för länge sen.När man låser upp dörren så är det jämt förstagångs inntrykket man kommer ihåg. Frukost var det enda denna gången den har jämt varit bra.Vi har bodd på detta hotellet flera gånger tillbaka i tid och vill säga att det var mycket mera trevligt att övernatta på Gustav Fröding då änn det är nu.Atmosfären är helt borta sorry men sant.

På utsidan är hotellet tråkigt och anspråkslöst. Vi ankom strax efter två på natten och möttes av en mycket trevlig natt concierge. Vår hund fick en välkomstpresent i form av godisbitar, litet tuggsticks & en bajspåse. Väl på rummet möttes vi av både mat och vattenskålar samt en iordningställd hundbädd. Sängen var mycket bekväm och badrummet var rent & fräscht.
