The hotel has a unique artistic vibe with modern amenities that make for a pleasant stay, though it’s somewhat isolated in an industrial area. The spa offers fantastic facilities, but the dining experience left something to be desired due to inconsistent service. Rooms vary in quality, and the location is not scenic, which could deter some guests.

Rooms

The rooms are modern and comfortable but can be quite small, and the views are disappointing, often facing walls or construction. The bathroom was well-furnished, but some features felt outdated.

Service

Service at check-in was a bit slow, and some staff members seemed less attentive in the restaurant, which detracted from the overall experience. However, most other staff were friendly and accommodating.

Location

5.0

The hotel is located in a very industrial area, which lacks scenic views and can make guests feel somewhat isolated. It's convenient for those visiting the nearby Volvo factory but not ideal for leisure travelers.

Dining

While breakfast had some nice options, such as eggs and bacon, the dining experiences overall were inconsistent, with limited dessert choices and issues regarding food service.

Facilities

The spa facilities are a highlight, offering various pools and treatments, although an outdoor jacuzzi would have added to the experience.

I had a lovely experience at this hotel, especially enjoying the spa facilities and the unique artistic environment. The rooms were comfortable but a bit small, and the location was in an industrial area, which took away some charm. The dining options were quite good, especially the breakfast. Overall, it's a nice stay but could use some improvements in room sizes and noise insulation.

This hotel feels more like a conference center than a true spa getaway. While the spa has potential and was clean, the overall vibe was quite crowded and noisy. The rooms were small and lacked proper maintenance, making it hard to fully enjoy my stay. On a positive note, the staff did their best to accommodate us within the busy hustle.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The spa was fantastic and helped me relax, while the breakfast buffet was quite impressive with healthy options. However, the location next to an industrial area was a bit off-putting, and some rooms were less than ideal.

Rooms

6.0

I found the rooms clean but somewhat dark and dreary, which made it difficult to repack my luggage. The first room I stayed in had poor air conditioning and a noisy bed, but I did eventually find a better room that was quieter and more comfortable.

Service

8.0

The staff was friendly and accommodating, particularly when I needed to switch rooms after my initial experience. They genuinely wanted to ensure I had a good stay.

Location

The hotel is in a very industrialized area, surrounded by factories and cargo transport, which isn't scenic at all. However, once inside, the hotel felt like an oasis despite its location.

Dining

The breakfast buffet offered an excellent variety of choices and was delicious. I also tried dinner, which was quite good, but on my visits, I didn't have enough time to explore the full menu.

Facilities

The spa facilities were among the best parts of my stay. I loved the variety of saunas and the outdoor heated pool, which added a luxurious touch to my relaxation experience.

The hotel offers a pleasant stay with a fantastic breakfast buffet and excellent spa facilities. However, the dining experience could be improved due to long wait times and average food quality. The room's comfort left something to be desired, particularly concerning the bed, which was too soft. Overall, it provides good value for the money, especially considering the free parking and relaxing spa areas.

Rooms
