Elite Hotel Brage, Borlänge - Dalarna county, Sweden

 Room 403. 

It's a hotel in central parts of Borlänge, which is not too much of an advantage as the busy parts of the city seem to be in a shopping area slightly outside the city (where a mall, ikea, grocery stores etc are)

This room was pretty spacious room with big bed, sitting group, slim working desk, kettle, minibar/fridge.

Amenity includes also body lotion and conditioner.

Nice to get some chocolates (which I brought home to my kids)

You can get some candies, fruit and cookies in the lobby area.

Now breakfast.
Like many other Swedish hotels, appears to be good selection of lactose free, vegan etc products.

Bygdøy allé 53 Frogner Apartments, Oslo, Norway

Room 6414 at Bygdøy allé 53.

I first booked this hotel but started to look for something else as they only had staff at place from 11.30, when I wanted to drop my bag at 10.30 - no prob. They could arrange somebody to be there.

My little room was a typical single room, but with a kitchenette. The kitchen equipment was good. Knife, utensils, kitchenware in all very good condition; fridge , micro, kettle and cook stand.
Weekly cleaning and only amenities when you check in, but no problem for a short stay. The area is fantastic too. Beautiful houses, shops and view. Good public transportation. Several supermarkets open 7-23. I would stay here again.

Hotel zur Post, Ismaning near Munchen,Germany

Room 125. With a big window and view over a small river.

Hotel zum Post, Ismaning near Munchen,Germany

This is one of many hotels in a suburb to Munchen called Ismaning. something like 10 minutes from the Airport. Slow life kind of place with self service potato shops. The hotel room is vsimple but clean. I especially liked the shower which felt newly renovated, clean and basic but nice shower head with good pressure. Have some challenges to work due to lack of good working desk and power outlets in bad position relative to the round table.

The room has safe and small TV. liquid soap, body/hair schampoo and body lotion is included. Good floor space if you like to do some crunches or push-ups.

The lady at the frontdesk was friendly and personal. Somewhat weak wifi in my room. Hope the breakfast is good tomorrow!

City Hotellet Eskilstuna, Eskilstuna, Sweden

Room 57.
City Hotellet Eskilstuna, Eskilstuna, Sweden

The location of this hotel is right in front of the train station and could not be more convinient this rainy afternoon.
I am here on business but as the daycare is off tomorrow, I called and asked few weeks ago how much extra an accompanying family with two kids would cost.  Nothing extra as the room I had reserved was a double. This means of course that the kids sleep with the parents, which they usually do in anyway.
The room was well cleaned. I usually check under the bed. No complaints. The toilet seat could have been "polished" better. It was probably wiped off with too damp cloth.
The lady welcoming us was very friendly.

A light meal is included on Monday to Thursday and todays menu was 'Pytti panna'. It's potato and meat cut in dices and fried up. Typical late night food, or bar food, or take care of the rest food. with this  some cold cut, bread, cheese etc. To be honest, it was really nothing fancy and probably factory made that they heated up, wtill the hot, freshly cooked (heated?) food and the relaxed atmosphere was very cozy. Highly appreciated! Very nice homemade seed cracker.
Rounded off with homemade apple cake. All teabags were organic.

Quite some noise from loud music and it stopped sometime before 9pm. Wifi works fine and I would come back here again. .... we shall see how the breakfast is first. Good night!

Addition:
breakfast was standard. Not plenty but enough of the basics. Some homemade bread, jam, pickles etc. Scrambled egg of various quality. My first round was hard and the second round soft and good.  What I would have liked is some dark bread ather than fluffy (and tasty) wheat bread. My kids were offered pankakes! (only them!!).  Like yesterdays dinner, premade and heated one but so nice and thoughtful.

So conclusion, I recommend this place!.

The shower to the right. No curtain so the floor gets very wet.


Quite nice towel.


The complementary evening light meals.

Best Westen Hebron, Copenhagen, Denmark

Room 218
Best Westen Hebron, Copenhagen, Denmark

A tiny room, 218, equipped with kettle (like!). The location is good, near the station and even though the area used to be little rough, I felt perfectly safe. The breakfast was very busy, as the room was so small. I even had to share table. However with croissant, waffle maker, I really liked the breakfast.

Comfort hotel Malmö, Malmö, Sweden

Room 388
Comfort hotel Malmö, Malmö, Sweden

A Tiny Economy room. I liked how they arranged the bed. Free tea/coffee in the lobby, but it did run out in the evening. The review said fantastic breakfast, and it was good but I was not impressed. They could eg have some more on the hot side, more vegetables and some more sweet stuff (such as croissant, waffle etc). Good location and I enjoyed the free bicycle you can borrow.
