The hotel is conveniently located across from the central station and with a bus located at the entrance. Great breakfast selection. The bedroom was comfortable. The bathroom and shower was extremely small! Every time I showered the bathroom used to flood, making it disgusting to have to walk on your shower water which never dried.

Under renovation

The hotel is under renovation. This lead to a lot of noise from 7 in the morning. There was a lot of builder dust on the first floor, there was no heating in my bathroom (freezing), and the hotel had no option to move to a proper room. Would definitely avoid staying here until renovations are done. On the positive side the location is really good, and everything is close.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was very friendly. We would have liked a better view instead of looking at a construction site. Blowdryer broke down. Asked for another one but it never arrived. Asked for ice and the machine was broke. Parking was at another location and almost impossible to unload your luggage at the hotel as it was a bus zone in front of the hotel. We enjoyed the breakfast it was very delicious.

Schönes Hotel, gute Lage.

Schönes Hotel, aktuell wird noch renoviert - was aber den Aufenthalt nicht behindert. Es war trotzdem ruhig und angenehm. Gutes umfangreiches Frühstücksbuffet. Sehr lecker. Ich würde wieder dort übernachten. Direkt am Bahnhof / Bus

Ikke godt nok!!

Hotellet var under ombygning! Hvilket INGEN havde oplyst om ved booking. Elevator gik ikke alle etager op og man skulle ud på et stilads for at nå sidste etage for vores vedkommende. Dette kunne vi sådan set godt leve med! Men, larmen fra håndværkere, bore, hamre og banke støj osv! Og det var ikke bare lidt støj. Blev vækket kl7 ved larmen af hammer boremaskine der blev brugr opad væggen til vores værelse! Det er bare ikke ok!! Mega dårlig oplevelse! Hvilket vi fornemmede andre gæster også havde. Det blev ihvertfald italesat til receptionisten af alle vi så tjekkede ud!!
