This is a lovely hotel in the centre of Lulea. The room was a pleasing size and we looked forward to our stay. It has a grand atmosphere and suitably prestigious decor. Our stay unfortunately coincided with a famous Swedish singer's appearance in Lulea. The hotel was packed. Unfortunately, we had noise throughout the evening, either from noisy neighbours or from a noisy air conditioning unit or another water pump (still not sure what it was). That completely ruined the experience. In the morning, we complained but the very experienced receptionist seemed to dismiss our concerns. The breakfast was also a disaster, as it was full to capacity and the new staff could not cope with re-stocking and re-supplying food and crockery etc. There seemed to be a total lack of leadership in the dining area. So, overall, we stayed in a 4* hotel which on any other occasion could have provided a 4* experience, on this occasion for us, it failed completely.
