8.5/10
A strong practical base with excellent breakfast, but not a downtown address.
ODDSSON Midtown is a modern, self-check-in 3-star that makes more sense for road trips than a walk-everywhere city break. We'd pick it for its consistently praised cleanliness, comfortable beds and included breakfast: recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly highlight the buffet and waffles. Family rooms, including some with kitchenettes, make it a useful option for groups.
The main compromise is location: guests describe roughly a 40–45-minute walk downtown, although buses stop outside. Smaller rooms are compact, and free parking isn't guaranteed—the hotel lists just 16 first-come spaces, with a public lot nearby. There is no staffed reception desk; support is available remotely around the clock, while breakfast staff earn warm praise. We'd skip it if nightlife on your doorstep or traditional front-desk service matters most.

ODDSSON Midtown is a modern, self-check-in 3-star that makes more sense for road trips than a walk-everywhere city break. We'd pick it for its consistently praised cleanliness, comfortable beds and included breakfast: recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly highlight the buffet and waffles. Family rooms, including some with kitchenettes, make it a useful option for groups.
The main compromise is location: guests describe roughly a 40–45-minute walk downtown, although buses stop outside.

There is no staffed reception desk; support is available remotely around the clock, while breakfast staff earn warm praise.

Best for: Self-driving travelers; Families choosing kitchenette rooms; Day-tour travelers
Watch out for: Long walk to downtown; Limited first-come parking; Self-check-in without a reception desk
Location: Outside the central sightseeing area; buses stop outside, but downtown is a substantial walk.
Rooms: Modern and functional; smaller categories are compact, with larger family and kitchenette options.
Cleanliness: A consistent strength across Booking.com ratings and recent Expedia and Tripadvisor reviews.
Service: Breakfast staff receive frequent praise; reception assistance is remote, available 24/7.
Amenities: Included buffet breakfast, Wi-Fi, communal games, and an evening bar serving soup.
Fees and surprises: Parking is free but limited to 16 first-come spaces; check that your access code arrives before travel.
