CK on tour

250+ year old building excellently converted into a small 4 star hotel. Great location in the old city near many bars and restaurants. Breakfast choice is limited but of good quality. Only 4 working stations in the TV abd variable WiFi. 9 minutes walk from the ferry terminal.

Nice but daily maintenance neglected

Nice and cosy small hotel, well situated ,short distance to everything in the old town. Unfortunately daily maintenance seems to be neglected -in our room safe did not work, hand shower also broken and some spotlights in the roof. No aircond in the room so can be pretty warm during summertime.

Godt hotel med fin morgenmad og venligt personale

værelset var fint & rent ved ankomst, men der blev ikke redt senge eller gjort rent under opholdet ( 3 nætter) grundet travlhed hos personalet.

Extrasäng och varmt

Extrasängen var mycket obekväm. Bokat för 3 vuxna till ett relativt högt pris. Våning 4:a (direkt under tak) bör utrustas med AC då det var för varmt på rummet, trots två fläktar och öppna fönster. Frukosten var mycket bra och personalen trevlig. Mycket fint hotell och fin miljö i övrigt.

Tæt på byen men en del støj

Super beliggenhed tæt på byen, men det medførte selvfølgelig en del støj; trafikstøj (brosten) og folk der gik forbi hele natten. Værelset var meget varmt og der var ikke air con

Viehättävä ja hyvällä paikalla. Meille sattui varmaan pienin huone, mutta hyvin yksi yö sujui.Tuuletin olisi hyvä kesällä, kun ilmastointia ei ole.

Dejligt hotel

Lille hyggeligt hotel hvor man føler sig velkommen. Det ligger tilpas tæt på gaderne hvor alle restauranter og barer ligger, men også langt nok væk til at det er meget stille og roligt omkring hotellet. Morgenbuffeten har et tilpas lille udvalg af hvad man kunne tænke sig. Pandekagerne var især meget lækre 😋

Miellyttävä pienehkö hotelli

Siisteys oli hyvä. Huoneen ovat vain paukahtavat kiinni kovaa, jos ei laita niitä rauhallisesti kiinni. Kuuluu viereisiin huoneisiin kovaa. Hyvin harmittava puute on bideesuihku. Sänky ja vuodevaatteet olivat miellyttävät. Paljon portaita, mutta myös hissi käytössä. Aamupala hyvä, varsinkin kahvi oli hyvää.

This is a typically wonderful Scandic hotel with excellent service, great beds, and decadent breakfasts and is right across the road from the Central Train Station. It also has a good, though oddly painted dark, gym. The outside is safe but a lot of smokers and drunks hang out there.
