The narrow and steep stairs do not give a good impression but the rooms are clean and adequate. Helpful staff and a kitchen area make it a good base. Parking is on a one way street and limited between 09.30 & 16.30 but that wss not a problem for me. Convenience store in garage on opposite side of road.

The gentleman who greeted us was attentive and friendly. Cleanliness was good with what they had to work with. The smell of damp was overwhelming, we could smell it on our clothes some hours after leaving. 100% not a 3* venue, 2* on a good day.

Ankom til stedet. Da der endelig blev lukket op stod der en meget ubehagelig lugt lige ud i hovedet på os som tegn på meget fugt. Bestemt ikke et sted vi havde spor lyst til at overnatte.
