Vi bestilte et rom med havutsikt, og fikk et fint og stort rom i 2. etasje. Hotellets konsept er veldig bra: du får tilgang til vaskemaskin og tørketrommel, et godt utstyrt kjøkken i første etasje, og et treningsrom som ikke er veldig stort, men med mange nok apparater til å kunne tilfredsstille de fleste som vil trene litt. Rommet vårt hadde et lite kjøleskap, god seng, et par stoler, og var rent og pent. Frokost i et lokale ved siden av. Ok utvalg, men lite merking av mat. Hyggelig vertskap og godt renhold. Det må sies at ikke alle rommene har samme standard, men vi fikk inntrykk av at oppussingen ikke er ferdig. Uansett et fint og sentralt sted hvor du både kan lage mat og vaske klær, det er veldig greit etter aktiviteter i området. Fem minutters gange fra bussterminal. ##### Torill Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Inga Stein Jul 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Inga Stein Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Colin Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Colin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### yves Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Confort Parfait, très confortable ##### yves Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henrik Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bra service, topp frokost, hyggelig vertskap ##### Henrik Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joacim Jun 7, 2025 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service ##### Joacim Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Greit opphold.
