This hotel was the perfect place for me to stay, as a solo traveller passing through town. Staff provided a friendly welcome and treated me like a regular. Breakfast was plentiful and the scrambled eggs delicious and perfectly cooked. Highly recommend staying here

Dammigt på fönsterbräda, handdukstork. Ofräscht på toalettpappers hållaren, badrummet överlag ofräscht. Fick aldrig igång tvn trots 2 personal försökte. Dammigt bakom tv å under säng. Frukosten å personalen där var super bra.

Bra hotell i gammal stil, nära centralen.

En natt i Helsingborg

Skulle enbart använda rummet till att sova över i. Så det räckte för mina behov. Vill man ha tillgång till Wi-Fi så kan man glömma det. Helt obefintligt och värdelös uppkoppling.

3 par på övernattning

Vi är 3 par som ska bo här 1 natt.Först fick vi ett rum så tyvärr inte var städat - allt kan hända. Böt till annat och vi kunde checka in redan 11.30 eftersom de rummen var klara - toppen bra. Rummet låg ut mot vägen, sov dåligt pga Hög musik som troligtvis kom från kebab restaurangen som har öppet till 05 fredag o lördag. Frukosten var suveränt fin 👍

Sova i Helsingborg.

Dubbelrum mer fyllde sin funktion, jag hade en plats att sova på när jag kom hem på natten. Rimligt pris för det ändamålet och centralt beläget. Dock så var det dåliga persienner och inga mörkläggningsgardiner.

Lite slitet hotell , billigt möblerat . Rummen saknar känsla och finess. Allmänna ytor är inte up to date . Duger för en övernattning eller två, om priset är Max 900kr / natt. Annars inte prisvärt
