Loved this hotel. It’s small and quaint which is what I like. We were a family of 4 and the breakfast is fantastic and outside garden area. The bed for my 2 older sons was a bit small so next time I will write 4 adults but the main bed was huge and comfy.

Desværre var der meget varmt på værelset. Fra hotellets side stod der en lille blæser som desværre ikke kunne køle. Derfor var den første nat ret varm og man måtte åbne vinduet. Dette resulterede i støj fra gaden og derfor ikke en særlig god første nats søvn. Dag 2 var bedre da udvendig temperatur desværre var lavere.

Överlag bra men för mjuka sängar

Gulligt litet hotell, fint och nyrenoverat. Helt OK utbud på frukost men sängarna va otroligt mjuka så gick knappt att sova i dom.
