Recommended for cyclists

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We travel with our bicycles and very much appreciated that we could store our bicycles in the hotel in the basement. The hotel is nicely located directly at the river and the city center is close by. There is free coffee at all times and the breakfast was appropriate. We can recommend the hotel for people traveling by bicycle.

Hotellet var bra, rÀtt litet och jag tycker inte riktigt att det matchar bilderna pÄ webben. Rummen var frÀscha men man kan inte lÄsa dörrarna, frukosten var ingen höjdare vÀldigt liten frukost och vÀldigt litet i lobbyn allmÀnt! Personalen var trevliga sÄ det Àr ett plus. Hotellet var ett okej hotell och funkar att stannar dÀr en natt, men troligtvis inget jag tar igen

Trevlig personal. Rummet var mysigt, dock var det lite kallt. Det gick att vrida upp elementet, men det hÀnde inte mycket med vÀrmen. En god och mysig frukost med mycket att vÀlja pÄ. TÀnda ljus pÄ borden och en bra pÄ platt tv dÀr man satt och Ät. Gratis fika i lobbyn. Jag kan tycka att fikat ska vara inplastat eller med lock. Jag valde att inte ta fika dÀrifrÄn pga smittorisker med mÄnga mÀnnsikor som checkar in och kanske hostar och nyser i lobbyn. Annars tycker jag att det var en bra ide och det kÀndes lyxigt att man kunde ta fika nÀr det passade. Sköna kuddar och tÀcken. Skjutdörren i badrummet var vÀldigt dammig pÄ ovansidan och nedertill syntes att den hade blivit fuktig flera gÄnger dÄ trÀet vÄgade sig. SÄg inte helt frÀscht ut frÄn stÀdningen i badrummet, vid fogarna pÄ golvet. Annnars ett jÀtte bra lÀge. Mysigt litet hotell med nÀrhet till ica och ett mysigt Haga centrum. Rekommenderar hotellet.
