Overall a good stay, we had five nights and asked for a cleaning one time. The cleaning did not vacuum a rather dirty floor. We could not get any espresso, latte products as the machine was broken in the restaurant; so we went to Lagkagehuset every morning instead of the breakfast available at the hotel. Without air conditioning we usually just open the windows but our room was directly above the outdoor smoking sitting area and the smoke was unbearable during the days and nights which meant we were quite warm with windows closed. Loved the location ❣️

13 Euro for a small 0.3, non alcoholic beer. Absurd. The whole bar and reception area smells of kitchen grease. Rooms lack privacy curtains, but are clean and spacious. Hotel is located in city center close to the river.

We really liked the hotel. Great overall, except for lack of A/C, and a very small bathroom, and very basic bathroom facilities. Bcs you don’t have an A/C, you have to keep the window open, but the street below is very busy, so the traffic noise wakes you up early. But great location and nice room.
