Det var et flot, lækkert og rent hotel. Dog var der 2 ting som var virkelig dårligt og trækker det meget ned. 1. Der var intet mini køleskab, så man kunne ikke få kolde drikkevarer. 2. Der var ingen aircondition (kun en ventilator som overhovedet ikke hjalp) så der var ulideligt varmt på værelset, selvom at det var koldt udenfor. Så at det var så varmt at man næsten ikke kunne sove og at man samtidig intet koldt kunne få at drikke, det var på ingen måde rart.

För varmt i hotellrummen

Mysigt hotell med bra frukost. Tyvärr är det dock så pass varmt i rummen att det inte går att sova i dem, vi tog upp det här med receptionen och de ursäktade sig och återbetalade ca 25% av kostnaden för boendet, vilket vi dock ansåg vara alldeles för lite med hänsyn till att vi inte kunde sova ordentligt. Fläkten i taket gav ifrån sig ett missljud och utanför hotellet var det fullt att skrikandes fiskmåsar så det gick inte att sova med öppna fönster. Bortsett från detta är det ett fint hotell, men min rekommendation är att ni undviker det under sommaren!

Helt okej hotell. Frukosten var en mycket trevlig upplevelse! Trivsam liten matsal smakfullt inredd, levande ljus (mitt i sommaren) och förvånansvärt mycket att välja på med tanke på att hotellet ändå inte är så stort. Nästan i klass med Elite stadshotellet, men utan en massa folk i lugn och ro!
