Alexandra

Disliked: Staff & service
We could sleep quite good in the beds. It was a quite room to the back of the hotel. Unfortunately no moskitonets at the windows and plenty of moskitos tried to come in when we would like a cold prise from outside. The front desk personal wouldnt be able to say "Hej" any time of the day. The young breakfast staff was very friendly. Maybe you should start cleaning the entre downstairs. It didnt happen one time during our stay. You had to pass the restaurant breakfast area every time, although the dog wasnt allowed to be there. Strange. Small pool, good breakfast. We had dinner at "Salted kitchen". Great food and good music, especially the band "seaside".

Douglas

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel room was a bit worn. It was extremely spacious. The drawback was that everything felt and looked old and on its last. The tv was a small screen and way to far away from the bed. The channels were unfortunately very limited and when it’s like that there is almost no point in having a tv in the room. The service was very friendly and easy. I had a dog with me and the sub-charge was very reasonable at 150sek. In the room were bowls to the dog and bedding. Always nice to receive a little extra for the cost. Regardless of the quality of the room, I would stay here again. Breakfast was good too.

Trevlig frukost och trevlig personal! SPA avdelningen är fin om man gillar att ta ett gott bad. Fri parkering och gott om platser. Enda riktiga minuset är att beställer man in en högrevsburgare så ska den inte vara genomstekt och extremt kompakt, kändes som att tugga på en fläskkotlett.
