I broke my ankle and am wheelchair bound and need access to my school in the same building. They have refused me reasonable access to an existing elevator (I need access to a conference room to get from the elevator to my school).
I have asked to be let in only once a day and leave once a day. Their solution was to schedule it so that I can only leave when the conference room is empty.
That meant on Wednesday, when I arrived for my afternoon class at 13:00, they told I couldn't go to school (which I actually have to pay for).
The next day, I was told I have to be at the school an hour early. Also, I had to leave exactly when school ended, even though we are given extra time to catch up (which I needed, because i missed school the day before). If I didn't leave at the specific time, I would not be able to leave until the space was empty, which could have been 1 or 2 hours later.
I only asked for reasonable access - allow me to arrive when my school starts, and leave when I need to leave. I would have "disrupted" the conference for 30 seconds only to pass through. I would have apologized for the inconvenience, and made my way through quickly. Only twice a day, taking maybe 60 second up and down.
Instead, they told me that their clients pay his money to not be disturbed for any reason, even if it's to simply pass through the conference room.
I'm only TEMPORARILY disabled, but imagine a permanently disabled student having to deal with this every day. In 8 weeks, I'll walk again. I'm writing this so that you understand that they will be put in a bad situation. Sweden is supposed to be a place of equality and accessibility.
This company thinks only of their money (renters). I have asked several people if I'm being unreasonable - I do not wish to falsely accuse discrimination. Everyone said that my asking to come and go when I need is not unreasonable. Again, it would take 60 seconds at most.
I even politely asked a conference leader if it was okay that I come through in the afternoon, possibly interrupting a presentation, and they said it was of course not an issue (no conference is so important that they can't allow a disabled person to come through).
Please consider this if you are looking to rent this space for your conference.
Edit to add: I ended up renting a second wheelchair, paid by the landlord. It was only after I did this that they were willing to discuss helping me out (but by then, I had already solved it myself with the second...

Atmosphere was good, food was very tasty. Friendly staff and ok prices. Only downside was the coffee that i found a bit weak. Definitely recommend...
