Cheap room in a superb location. Relatively clean but facilities are befitting the price - poor decor, cracked and loose bathroom floor tiles, a travesty of a zip tied shower, poor room ventilation and a general condition of something you'd expect for the lowest local price. Set your expectations low, then go lower. If you need a place to crash - perfect. If you need functional facilities and a pleasant environment go elsewhere. ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Sep 18, 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Keep the exits clear please The hotel is what it is, to a point where it's almost comically charming. Toilets seat strapped with cable ties and graffiti on the bedroom wall. However, for at least two days one of the hallways that also serves as an emergency exit was blocked by a large trolley and different building materials that were stored on the floor. In the (likely) case of an evacuation that's just dangerous and unforgivable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Brian Aug 29, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nothing worked properly. Dirty room with no or only very little clearing. The Windows almost fell out of the frames. The staff was unfriendly/arrogant. No service what so ever. A really bad experience. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Javier E Jun 23, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort When we arrived nodoby was there and the option was to make a phone call if you do not have roaming (I came from Argentina) because the cost of having activated the cell phone is so expensive is a complication Being said that, the floor was dirty, the floor of the room the same, Take a shower was so difficult because the whole floor was flooded HORRIBLE ##### Javier E Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marc Jun 29, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning. A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance. Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help. I don’t recommend this place. ##### Marc Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Volker Jul 7, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Possible check-in was announced from 5pm. Reference was made to the Broremann Bar but it only opened from 6pm. At least there was a phone number on the door and the staff was on site quickly after a call. When booking through Expedia, it said "free breakfast". This was only negated when the hotel sent an email. The hotel WiFi was almost unusable. A TV was available, but no remote control. About the lack of possibility of using the TV was also only pointed out after the booking was made. If you want to sleep late, you should use hearing protection, as the location on the harbor and above the bar is definitely associated with business and street noise. Lots of hair in the shower from the previous tenant. Fungal infestation on the bathroom walls and on the shower curtain. Bad air in hallway, bathroom. Overall pretty worn facility. Only for emergency overnight stays, don't forget bath slippers. ##### Volker Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Liv Ellen Nov 25, 2024 ##### Liv Ellen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Silje Nov 5, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dårlig standard men billigst i byen ##### Silje Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ellen Nov 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Ellen Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Graeme Oct 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Graeme Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paulo Sep 24, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Paulo Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### May Sep 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Humorboost Rein seng og rein vask på badet.
