Nice stay

Nice hotel with good spa options (for extra price) and plenty of games options (billard, pikado, etc.) The breakfast was very good. The room was very small with too soft bed.

Hotell i off-lÀge med flugproblem

Extremt litet och varmt rum för tvÄ vuxna, fönstret gick bara att öppna 5 cm. Vi hade med egen flÀkt som rÀddade nattsömnen. PÄ den positiva sidan sÄ var sÀngen skön och frukostbuffén bra. Vi Ät hamburgare i bistron, otrevligt bemötande nÀr vi kom vid 16-tiden, hovmÀstaren var tveksam till om vi kunde fÄ ett bord utomhus dÄ de behövde duka upp för kvÀllen ( kl 16?), fanns mÄnga bord och det satt redsan flera sÀllskap pÄ uteserveringen. Har aldrig bott pÄ hotell med sÄ mÄnga flugor, bÄde nÀr vi Ät hamburgare och pÄ rummet (minst 4 i rummet). Inte hotellets fel men de borde kunna sÀtta ut flugfÄngare eller nÄgot för att mildra besvÀren. LÀget Àr vÀldigt speciellt, i oljehamnen och verkligen ingen sÀrskilt trevlig omgivning.

Mycket bra, trevlig lounge. Restaurangen var vĂ€ldigt trevlig , ombonad och fin. Trevligt bemötande. MEN vet inte om det beror pĂ„ för lite personal eller vad 
fler gĂ€ster vi sĂ„g som blev anvisade bord, men som efter lĂ„ng vĂ€ntan gick dĂ€rifrĂ„n pga att ingen betjĂ€nade dem. Vi bestĂ€llde sjĂ€lva mera vin som blev inlagd i vĂ„r bestĂ€llning men aldrig kom till bordet sĂ„ vi betalde och gick efter att ha fĂ„tt vinet borttaget frĂ„n vĂ„r nota.
