Dialog Hotel Kungens Kurva

Breakfast was what we counted on, and it was decent, filling, and a good fit for the rest of the hotel. The staff helped us, though they could come across a little grumpy. Getting to Stockholm’s tourist spots takes over an hour, but the public transport is efficient enough to make that manageable. The place worked for an overnight stay, and I was glad we booked it with Agoda’s big discount. Still, there are plenty of worn-down touches: the door took real effort to shut, the pillows were soft, and the TV didn’t work. The floor felt sticky under bare feet, though cleaning was offered every other day. The room was cold but tolerable. The heaters barely kept it warm, and since I get cold easily I needed lots of layers or had to stay under the covers. The shower pressure was great, but the water was only warm enough to shower, not to stay warm afterward. We also noticed the bathroom vent seemed to send smells and steam into the bedroom. Maybe that suits someone who likes bathroom smells. There was no kettle. Towels were free from reception, and water was free in the canteen. On the first night, two little creatures crawled on a pillow and around the trash can. We got rid of them and didn’t see any more. If you’re sharing a double bed and end up on the side without an obvious outlet, check behind the curtain. I didn’t, and spent two nights charging my phone near the TV, far from the bed, even though there was a plug right beside me. The attached videos show the room when we first went in.
