Occasionally not happy with the cost.

Some rooms a little cramped.
A number of rooms at Axel Guldsmeden were thought to be too small by those guests who stayed with them, especially with luggage taken into account. On the other hand, others found plenty of space in the rooms.

Noisy
Many previous guests experienced a lack of sleep due to general noise from within the hotel and also from street level. This would make for an unpleasant stay for anyone.
