A good choice

A tiny room with no air conditioner working. Very clean though and quiet along with its great location. Marvellous breakfast. Good WiFi. Strange system for hot water in the shower (I think it was broken). Excellent price.

Ok for 1 overnatning, men ikke 5!

Ikke særlig lækker morgenmad, æggene har aldrig set en høne. Sengene og pudderne var hårde som granit og værelserne var bestemt ikke lydisoleret!

J'ai beaucoup apprécié la superficie de la chambre qui était contre toute attente assez spacieuse et la literie bien confortable. Le personnel était aussi chaleureux et à notre écoute. De plus, l'hôtel etait jien desservi en bus ce qui fait que l'on avait toujours un bus de retour qui nous dépose à quelques mètres de l'hôtel. En revanche, pour le petit-déjeuner vraiment décue qu'ils ne servaient pas de chocoalt chaud moi qui ne suis ni café ni thé et les croissants etaient froids et quelque peu durs.

Not going back!!

Hotellet är de sämsta jag har varit med om. Personalen e så dryg och ej serviceinriktad. Hotellets tv funkade knappt pga av antennsladden va sönder och tejpad. Vi fick byta rum, och rumbytet var typ en börda för dom eftersom de tyckte de kunde göras dagen efter men hallå ska man glo på väggarna hela natten eller?! Duschen var en Annan femma, vattnet blev inte ens varm så de fick bli en super snabb kall dusch. Och rummet var så kallt och gick inte att sätta på värme från AC’n då den va helt avstängd. Skulle inte återvända dit igen.
