Disliked: Staff & service
We could sleep quite good in the beds. It was a quite room to the back of the hotel. Unfortunately no moskitonets at the windows and plenty of moskitos tried to come in when we would like a cold prise from outside. The front desk personal wouldnt be able to say "Hej" any time of the day. The young breakfast staff was very friendly. Maybe you should start cleaning the entre downstairs. It didnt happen one time during our stay. You had to pass the restaurant breakfast area every time, although the dog wasnt allowed to be there. Strange. Small pool, good breakfast. We had dinner at "Salted kitchen". Great food and good music, especially the band "seaside".

Okay hotel, but eat somewhere else

The room and spa was fine. A bit on the pricy side for what you get, but overall not bad. What ruined the entire weekend was the food. Waiting an hour for a tiny portion with absolutely zero spices is not okay. When we complained they offered us a free dessert, so service staff was good at least, but the food was horrible. This went full circle at breakfast when the scrambled eggs didn’t even have salt on them. Tip for anyone going there is to eat somewhere else. Anywhere else. Will not go there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel room was a bit worn. It was extremely spacious. The drawback was that everything felt and looked old and on its last. The tv was a small screen and way to far away from the bed. The channels were unfortunately very limited and when it’s like that there is almost no point in having a tv in the room. The service was very friendly and easy. I had a dog with me and the sub-charge was very reasonable at 150sek. In the room were bowls to the dog and bedding. Always nice to receive a little extra for the cost. Regardless of the quality of the room, I would stay here again. Breakfast was good too.

Frukost var bra . Kan eventuellt påpeka att skyltarna inte var uppsatta till de olika yoghurtalternativen. Fick fråga om detta. Dock kom skyltarna direkt på plats så det var inget att klaga på. Väldigt trevlig personal som var hjälpsam. Jag fick med mig kaffe i termos. Var fint!!
