Haymarket by Scandic

8/10 Good
"This hotel has a great location, easy access to good restaurants and taxis; also not far from the waterfront and Old Town if you prefer a nice walk. The staff are wonderful, breakfast amazing. The only thing preventing 5 stars in this review is the size of our room - which was tiny - and the inability to adjust the temperature in a lasting way. I’m sure it’s done to prevent wasting energy, but if you want to cool your room in summer any adjustment to the AC is temporary. The temp always reverts to a prior setting after some time. Otherwise, Haymarket was a good choice and I’d recommend it highly."
