It's always a little bit of a worry when ear plugs are left in your room as a default! The hotel is situated above a shopping centre, so there isn't too much noise from outside, but the walls don't seem to be particularly thick, meaning you can hear a lot of what is going on in ajoining rooms. Check in was quick and with a smile, ample parking behind the shopping centre a minute or 2 walk away. rooms were a little tired, including the bathroom, but the shower was great. Seemingly new TVs in the rooms too. Breakfast was perfectly adequate, but not as many gluten free offerings compared to some other large chains in the Nordic region. Below the hotel is an O'Learys sports pub, so an opportunity for a drink and something to eat in a little bit more lively surroundings than in the hotel bar. Overall not too bad at all, and with not a great amount of choice in Avesta city centre, will probably stay here again.
