Disliked: Room comfort

Stilt og rolig om natta

Vi fikk rom ute i annekset som lå litt utenom hotellet, det burde vært aircondition på rommene da det var fryktelig varmt selv om ovnene var avslått. Det virket som det var varme i gulvet. Servicen var heller ikke av den beste i forhold til tidligere opphold.

Hyvä perus majoitus

Hyvä perus majoitus ja siisti. Hinta-laatusuhdetta jäimme puntaroimaan. Miinukset aavistuksen huonosta ilmanvaihdosta ja ahtaahkosta kylpyhuoneesta. Mutta plussat erinomaisesta aamiaisesta ja kaupat lähellä.
