Hotellet var acceptabel. Gode ting: Stort rum Aircondition Dårlige ting: Ingen køleskab Toilettet var meget smalt og kabinedørene til badeværelset var utætte så der kom vand overalt i badeværelset hvergang man tog et bad.

Nice stay

The building is old, and the elevator is also old and small. Both outside and inside look old, but the rooms are very clean and new. The shower works well, and the air conditioner is good. The place is in a quiet area with a park in front. It is a little far from the train station, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk to the tourist area. But it is a nice place if you want a quiet night.
