Super Hostel

Super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ich wurde sogar zweimal zurückgerufen. Ansonsten eher Jugendherbergscharakter. Aber das war mir durchaus bewusst. Und eine wundervolle Lage!

Varmt rekommenderas!

Ett fantastiskt and mycket intressant ställe! Vackra och stillsamma omgivningar. Väldigt fina och bekväma rum med eget badrum, utmärkt frukost, bekväma gemensamma utrymmen. Hjälpsamma personal i receptionen, även med sen ankomst, och trevliga personal i köket. Laddare till elbil en annan plus. Kul att se elevernas artistiska föremål överallt. Vill gärna övernatta här igen. Varmt rekommenderas!
