Central location is the key!

Slightly cramped room but quiet despite being on the shopping street side. Otherwise compact. Quite good breakfast but nothing fancy, scandinavian though. Best this is the location as hotel is in the middle of the center, walking distance of all major attractions. Bed felt bit soft. Parking in the downstairs public parking house w straight accces to hotel.

The township is quiet and calm generally..JA Hotel is located in the middle of a commercial street. It provides the convenience and accessibility to major retail outlets, and at the same time the privacy of space you look for in a hotel. Conveniently located if you wish to go a little further to the beach or the naval museum..or island hopping around this archipelago..

Poor service and breakfast below average

- Got advice and instructions from the staff on where I should park my electric car for charging over night. This resulted in a fine. Got nothing but a "sorry" from the staff. (Not allowed to park more than 4 hrs also during nighttime at nearest charging spot) - TV in the room did'nt work. Staff unable to fix it even though they had a the whole day. Was offered a smaller standard room later on with working TV. - Staff sitting eating at the combined reception/bar. - Breakfast obviously prepared by people with zero interest in food and cooking. Breakfast below average. - Rooms are not cleaned during the stay unless specifically asked for. No info on this upon check in which led to coming back to a room not being cleaned after a long day at work. And a TV which still didn't work... This hotel obviously has issues with management. Avoid if you have any alternatives. Room was however clean upon arrival so the cleaning staff probably know what they are doing.

Bra frukost men smutsigt rum

Fick först ett rum med ett trasigt glas i badrummet. Fick då byta till ett annat rum, och när vi skulle sova märkte vi att lakanen var smutsiga. Erbjöds byta rum men då barnet ville sova bytte vi lakan istället. Det gav ett väldigt ofräscht intryck, men personalen var väldigt serviceminded. Bra frukost!

Dyrt dussinhotell som lever på läget

Första natten hade vi ett minirum på tredje våningen med Queen size säng och takfönster. Sängen var fruktansvärd, du rullar ner i en sänka i mitten av sängen och det var svårt att sova. Takfönstret tog bort all utsikt, badrumsdörren gnisslade och väckte båda igen. Tidigt på morgonen kom sen sopbilen och väckte oss ännu en gång. Vi blev tvungna att uppgradera för ytterligare ett par hundra kronor till rum med king size säng och som dessutom var lite större. Mycket bättre. Hotellet i sig är ett trist dussinhotell utan karaktär. 3530 kronor för två nätter är helt enkelt inte vad det här hotellet är värt.

Vi reser med hund, och hotellet tar ut en extra avgift för detta - inga konstigheter och fullt förståeligt. Jag förväntar mig dock som gäst med djur (i ett djurrum) att städningen då utförs som den ska. Rummet var inte städat på ett tillfredsställande sätt, utan det låg hundmat kvar på golvet från en tidigare gäst, golvet var dessutom fläckigt av djursaliv. Personalens kunskap om allergier och specifika kostbehov var absolut begränsade, och tyvärr bristfälliga. I övrigt ligger hotellet bra, parkeringsmöjligheterna är goda.
