Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a central location in Falun, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms, however, lacked air conditioning and faced the sunny side, making them uncomfortably warm. The service was friendly and helpful, although the rates were on the higher side. The dining experience was adequate but had poor acoustics. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is fantastic, right at the city center with convenient parking nearby. The rooms, although lacking coffee and tea facilities, were a bit warm due to the sunny side exposure. The service was friendly and accommodating, addressing issues promptly. However, the dining experience was average with limited options and poor acoustics in the dining area.
