Værelset var fint, men toilet- og badeforhold kan med fordel opjusteres. Personalet var lidt emsige angående at forlade værelset klokken 11. Hvis man bedes forlade værelset klokken 10, bør det fremgå af vilkårene for opholdet.

Too hot - bad sleep

Room was awfully hot. That combined with no active cooling (which is pretty normal in Denmark) or option to open a window properly, due to a safety concern i guess, resulted in quite a bad nights sleep. We were there on a windy spring day with lots of sun (but not directly on the window), with low outside temperatures. The location is very central and noisy in the weekends. I can only imagine how warm the room must be on a hot summer day. Apart from being very hot, no option to open a window wide enough to cool it down, and noisy weekends, the room was fine and clean. Oh, the sink was nearly clugged aswell.
