Veldig koselig hotell med hjelpsomme og hyggelig personale. Deilig frokost også. Eneste ulempen er parkeringsmuligheter, vi parkerte på senterparkeringen hvor det var døgnåpent. Ca 5-10 min og gå fra hotellet, vi hadde med oss en del som barnefamilie så var litt tungvint. Ellers veldig fornøyde

Koselig hotell med veldig hyggelig betjening

Supert hotell, midt i sentrum, god frokost og gode senger..men vi hadde et ganske lite rom. Historisk hotell, derfor gammelt, men fint og koselig. Rommet vårt såg helt nytt ut.

Hotelli ja huone olivat erittäin siistejä. Aamiainen oli runsas ja monipuolinen. Hotellilla ei ole omaa pysäköintialuetta. Hotelli on entinen tiilitehdas, joka on remontoitu kauniisti. Huoneessa oli liian vähän sähköpistorasioita. Pesupalvelu ei ole tarjolla viikonloppuisin.
