This is the typical hotel to stay while visiting nearby attractions. The rooms are clean and modern. The breakfast is very good with scrambled eggs, bacon, fruits, bagels, cereals and more. Coffee, teas and juices are also offered. Be advised that the desk opens for check in at 2:30 pm, so it is not useful to show up earlier.

Convenient hotel for transit. Close from the Autobahn. Pros: Good bed, very clean sheets, good shower, friendly employees, good breakfast. A supermarket next to the hotel. Cons: no airconditioning in the room. Not possible to sleep with open windows, given the LKW transit noise.

Disappointing

20 mins for someone to come and open the hotel for us as we had a late check in. Very bad info on this on the hotel info. Breakfast was disappointing, cold eggs, very little choice. Not worth the money we paid.

Perfekt hotell

Rummet var luftigt, rent, praktiskt, sköna sängar, fanns även en liten köksdel. Bra frukost och parkering direkt utanför. Mycket nöjd. Burgerking och mcdonals precis bredvid, praktiskt vid genomresa och sen ankomst.
