Trevligt vandrarhem

Den var som väntat på ett vandrarhem. Sov där innan cykelvasan och har gjort det några gånger. Lite olika stora rum bara. Fick ett mindre i år.

Enkelt og greit, men hyggelig!

Dette er et vandrerhjem, og standarden er deretter. Vi hadde ikke fått med oss at man måtte bestille frokost, og det var ganske langt å kjøre til nærmeste mat, men på den andre siden fikk vi sjekke inn lenge etter oppsatt tid. For å oppsummere: hvis man planlegger godt, er dette et helt fint sted å bo!
