Kvibergs Vandrarhem - Hostel
Clarion Hotel Draken
The hotel is nice and well located . The staff are very friendly. There was quite alot of construction noise in the area but I understand this is out of the hotels control. The bars downstairs were not always open. We were told we could take a drink from the downstairs bar to our room as it was closing ...

Room was good. Bad breakfast was very crowded and the service at the reception was unfriendly and rude.
