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

Mindre bra med silverfisk i badrummet, samt svartmögel i duschen. Obekväma sängar. Perfekt läge, speciellt om man ska åka med båten till Helsingör.

Bra hotell i gammal stil, nära centralen.

Bra bemötande vid ankomst. Stort och bra rum. God frukost , mysig biblioteks bar. Fick ett problem men det löste de snabbt, så servicen var kanon. Trevlig kvinna i receptionen, väldigt bemötande.

Bra men lite trist

Okey standard, men mycket uppfräschning kan göras. Trist och mörk reception. Lite modernare touch, så blir detta hotell ett återbesök.

Tyst rum

Vi önskade ett tyst rum och fick ett rum in mot gården med egen ingång! Det var fantastiskt! Tyst och lugnt. Vi hörde inga ljud från gatan eller andra rum. Frukosten var mycket bra! Allt man önskade fanns ! Och mycket trevlig personal. Vi återkommer och kommer önska samma rum igen 😊

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.

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 👍

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.
