Pros +
- Nice staff, very friendly.
- Given this hotel mostly targets road travellers, it's close to the highway, the on-site parking lot is very spacious and free, the restaurant is open until late, and as we were leaving very early they took care and prepared a small breakfast with cold cuts, yoghurts, and coffee for us.

Cons -
- There was no AC. That’s why the room was very hot.
- Need more charging facility for EVs in the parking
- The room was incredibly warm. We turned off the radiator and had to sleep with the window open and it still didn’t really cool off.

The breakfast was great and the staff were lovely and helpful.
The room was incredibly warm. We turned off the radiator and had to sleep with the window open and it still didn’t really cool off.
The hotel is in a great location and parking seems secure. In general the rooms are a good size and always clean.
The negatives started when the young guy at reception said he couldn't find my booking.com reservation - despite my giving him a printed copy of it. The hotel was totally booked so initially he suggested I go to the sister hotel in the city centre. Then it was suggested I could have a room that wasn't usually given to guests, and that I'd have to pay full standard room price! While in this room I was about to go online to let booking.com know what had happened when the receptionist ran to my door to tell me they'd found my booking!Subsequently full hotel meant delays at restaurant and dozens of kids stomping up and down the corridors until 23:20. Luckily I'd decided to continue driving early the next day as kids were repeating their activities from early the next day. A bit of a let down as staff appeared overwhelmed by the full hotel. Thanks to the one female restaurant person who managed to fit me in with only 25mins wait though.
breakfast was good, staff were helpful and kind, room was big and comfortable
no air-condition in the summer
Nice breakfest, good location, the restaurant
The pool does not deserve its name - it was really small
Nice clean room 605 with good bed and (narrow) showers area.
Breakfast at 8 o'clock was far too crowded. Long queue to coffee and tea area and there were no plates and forks available.
Perfect location. friendly staff
In minus 15 degrees, I think they should have pre-warmed the rooms!
Location neat E4 Breakfast
Air/ventilation in the room vas badThings not working, like the bedside lampWorst: all powerstations for cars were occupied
The breakfast was good.
The evening meal had a great burger accompanied by fries that were so overcooked - as in probably re-done four times - that I could not get my fork into them because they were solid.
Location excellent for road travellers. Close to motorway but quiet, set back in own grounds. Good parking. Rooms a good size, clean, modern and comfortable. The restaurant is fine, food good but selection for dinner a bit limited. Staff pleasant and helpful.
Worst hotel I have stayed at. Will request money back. The terrible room cost 1790 kr. per night.
Very, very hot in the room. No A/C. Could not sleep.No ventilation at all at the room.Many things out of work in the room.Reception person at check out could not take critic.(Reception person at check-in was very polite)
Typical uncomfortable Scandic beds. Breakfast super. Dinner only spoiled by tough steak

Good facilities
Way overpriced room, food and drink. Shower was not very clean and both the food and drink was very expensive. 97SEK for 50cl of standard chezh pils is just silly.
Located near to highway, however location is very peaceful and full of nature around. Breakfast is good & complete. Dining area is spacious. Hotel's location is close to Gavle City Center. Takes around 11 minutes by cycle from hotel to the city. Cycles are available and to be checked for availability at the reception. Staff is very welcoming with excellent hospitality.
Nice breakfast!
Small "family room"Wi-fi unusablePricey given location, room size and room standard!
Good location, friendly stuff.
Breakfast - I booked the slot for 8.30, unfortunately at this time there was not much choice of food. The containers were empty. In my opinion, as the traffic in the hotel is time-managed, the staff should take care of the full availability of food. Coffee machine was also unavailable - coffee grounds overfilled. I had a room on the top floor, it was very hot - no air conditioning. Opening the window at night results in a lot of noise from the road.
Teenindus/ service !
Elevator, what was broken, to get up 6 floor. Dissapointing, evening buffet. Pleasent waitess was offering a la carte on house, but sad to say, but that was too salty and we could not eat that all.
Breakfast was excellent
Restaurant was closed, Bed uncomfortable, strange shower
