Prima Unterkunft in Hafennähe

Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Wir waren vom Hotel positiv überrascht. Ausgewählt hatten wir die Bleibe wegen der Hafennähe und ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad gebucht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Morgens um 6:30 Uhr stand das Frühstücksbuffet bereit. In 5 Minuten ist man zu Fuß am Fähranleger. Unser Zimmer war geräumig und sauber. Vor allem war es in der Nacht ruhig. Bei anderen Hotels hörte man aus der Ferne lautstarke Musik - und das noch am Morgen, als bei uns der Wecker klingelte. Wir haben das Arla sofort für die Rückreise wieder gebucht.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Vi fikk tildelt et mørkt rom i kjeller uten utsikt. Etter å ha sett rommet bestemte vi oss for å dra til et annet hotell i nærheten. Så vi hadde ikke noen overnattingsmuligheter som egentlig er mer back-packer sted

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
It is a low cost hostel and well worth the money. Nice big room with a big bathroom and a small balcony. It was clean, but could do with a little renovation. The staff were friendly and spoke good English and they provided me with a bag with some breakfast, since I had to leave before 5 am. I will happily stay there again.
