We only had about 24 hours in Malmo. The hotel was a relatively short walk from the Central Train Station and close to many interesting historic sights. Compared to our previous Hotel in Stockholm the room itself was HUGE. The staff we met were very friendly and helpful. We do not normally eat large breakfasts so we forgo the cost of the one at the hotel.

The perfect base.
First time in Malmo/Sweden and the hotel was a perfect base for my trip. Very central, a short walk from the Train station and with loads of bus options too. The hotel itself has loads of character, very friendly staff and plenty of breakfast options. During my visit the exterior restoration/renovation was still in progress, but when completed it will be ready for another 150 years of service.
Along with Lila Torg there are a number of other places and the main shopping area on your doorstep.

Stayed here for a week on our trip in Malmo. Everyone we encountered working here was great. We had a slight issue with plumbing in shower but they fixed no problem so no big deal. The breakfast is excellent it’s not possible to leave there hungry. Very clean overall. We used the bike hotels many times and it was easy and great way to get around the city. WiFi is very good and water pressure is nice.

Hotel was great for a three night stay over a weekend (Thursday - Sunday). 5m walk to Central Station. Great breakfasts. Only downside was the noise from a bar / street below. Thankfully I had some ear plugs. Would stay again but ask for a quieter room (or upgrade my room choice)

Average at best
Visited for Eurovision. We were given a room at the front of the hotel next to a very loud bar/club that went on until 3am. Pack earplugs! Room is basic but the shower was decent enough. There is no bar at the hotel which we weren't prepared for. Excellent location, friendly staff. Just needs an upgrade throughout.

Great days, loud nights.
It was just a small room. A place to sleep. No dresser,, use your suitcase. A desk, WiFi and a port nice shower. I don’t know if this was a typical hotel room for this city/country. But it was clean and a very reasonable rate. I don’t know if the pounding music from the clubs next door (until 3am most nights) effects the price though it probably does.

Not happy with the "upgrade"
I have been staying at this hotel a numerous times. It is a pretty decent hotel that is very close to "Lilla Torget" where you have several good resturants and bars. I had booked a double room ... But when I checked in I was told I was "upgraded" to a Family room. This was definatly not an upgrade. The Family room is very old and have not been refurbished for many years. So compared to the regular double rooms it was a lower quality and definatly not an upgrade. I checked with the reception... But they was fully booked and didnt know why I was "upgraded" to the family room. I will try to find another hotel in Malmø next time.

This hotel is in a prime location, with great dining and shopping options. The staff is really friendly and the breakfast was very good.
HOWEVER, there is a disco next door and the extremely loud music and building vibration went on until past 4AM. We had to get up at 7:30AM to catch a train so we were able to sleep only 3 1/2 hours. Unless you are willing to partake in that nightlife, I would not recommend this hotel. You’ll get zero sleep (at least if you are in the rooms closer to the bar/disco on days it’s open).
Also, a more temporary issue: the hotel is covered in scaffolding and there is a platform for workers outside your windows, which makes it feel both unsafe and not private enough to open blackout curtains.

This was one of my favorite hotel visits, ever. The breakfast had an outstanding variety of options (and as an American, I am all too accustomed to the bland "continental breakfast" option). All food was clearly marked for its main allergens. As a vegan, I found it extremely easy to find nutritious and delicious food options.
The hotel is located centrally and is easy to access by train or bus. I very much look forward to visiting again, someday.
*Note: my room, which was at the back of the building (at my request), required walking down about 3 stairs. I am only mentioning this so that those with mobility issues can potentially request a room near the front/before those stairs. There were also about three stairs to enter through the main entrance of the building.
