Hotel Hornsgatan
Such a lively little boutique hotel. Beautiful room interior, I had a cozy nights sleep. I extended my stay actually. Breakfast was severed and that was an added bonus. You can’t get a better location! Bathrooms are shared, but they are spotless and there are so many of them. I never saw anyone else ...
