War für 2 Nächte dort. Hotel hat vermutlich keine eigenen Parkplätze. Gemeint ist das benachbarte Parkhaus, dieses ist dann kostenpflichtig. Wenn man etwas Gepäck hat läuft man ca. 2-3min. Das Zimmer ist relativ hellhörig und die Fußgängerampel draußen gibt ein regelmäßig tickendes Geräusch von sich, deswegen Nachts Fenster zu. Frühstück gibt es wochentags bis 9:00 Expedia weicht da ab.

Helt ok med trevlig personal. MEN olidligt varmt på rummet!!! Och finns ngn kod när det ska vara tyst på hotellet? När vi väl lyckats slumra till väcktes vi av ”glada” grannar som höll oss vakna en bit in på natten. Kommer inte boka här igen tyvärr.

Vanhentunut hotelli

Vanhentunut huone. Käytävässä haisi samalle kuin sisäilmaongelmaisissa rakennuksissa yleensä. Huoneen lämpötila todella kuuma. Kylpyhuone erittäin vanhentunut. Ainut hyvä asia monipuolinen aamiainen ja ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Hotell med bra läge mitt i stan. Otroligt varmt på rummet och ingen AC. En gnisslande bordsfläkt fanns. Sminkspegeln sitter väldigt högt. Ok frukost. Finns en liten frukostträdgård som är mysig att sitta i.

Incheckning var inte klar förrän 17.30 då rummet ej var städat. Var flera gäster som hade samma sak. Rummet var nytt (nybyggt) men upplevde att det knappt var någon kyla/ventilation igång. Var väldigt varmt inne (och ute) och om man höll handen vid ventilationsdonen kunde man inte känna något. Frukosten upplevdes också lite tråkigare än andra BW-hotell som vi bott på i sommar. Annars bra vistelse

Trevligt och prisvärt

Väldigt sköna sängar. Enkelt men rymligt rum. Det märks att det var länge sedan rummet renoverades. Badrummet var väldigt litet och enkelt, med plastgolv och duschdraperi. Det var välstädat. Frukosten var väldigt trevlig med bl a färskpressad apelsinjuice.
