The room that didn't WOW me..

When we first saw the pictures of the hotel when we booked it, both husband and I liked the look of the hotel. But when we finally got there in the late afternoon, I was more than just a tad disappointment by our room. I was inconsolable by how horrible I felt by just being in that room.

The moment one entered the room, all one saw were white walls. Not only was the room incredibly small (one could sit on the edge of the bed, which is pushed against one wall, stretch out one's leg and touch the table that is pushed against the opposite wall.) there were NO windows at all. The only thing it had to provide us with some natural light was one skylight in one corner of the ceiling. Unfortunately, it was a very cloudy day i Gothenburg so all I saw were white clouds with not a hint of blue sky. More white. I felt like I was in prison and the ceiling was so low!

Since we arrived so late, we couldn't get another room straight away as the hotel was full. So one advice is try not to check into a hotel late, ever. The good rooms are always given out first and after that it's a what's available.

But we got to change rooms the next day and even though it still wasn't great, I was so happy to get out of that first room. Since I was so upset in that first room, I forgot to take pictures. But here are pictures of the 2nd and note BETTER room we had

View of the foyer from the bed. It was a separate room that led to the bathroom and the space for our clothes. Notice that my camera captured 3 walls. The room was not big, that's for sure.

View of the bed from the doorway. Only 1 window in the entire room but it was a huge window. No bedside table cos one could walk all the way around behind the bed to open and close the massive window wich makes up one wall.

See what I mean about walking behind the bed?

What the hotel seems to view as great and innovative clohing space. 2 shelves and hangers with a 'nice', very narrow mirror. Lovely room right? Hai....Luckily the location of the hotel is so great or I would never go there again.
