Pros:

Hotelli oli yleisilmeeltään siisti. Aamiainen oli hyvä. Kadun melu kuului huoneeseen mutta ei häiritsevästi.

Cons:

Autolla vaikea löytää sisäpihalle. Risteysalue josta käynti hotellin sisäpihalle on ruuhkainen ja jopa hiukan vaarallinen.

A good choice! 🙂
Pros:

I liked the shower that kept the water contained. The electric kettle and tea/coffee in the room was a nice addition. Loved the location within easy walking distance of the Viking/Eckero ferry port and across the street from a park as well as a grocery store. Enjoyed the towel warming rack. The breakfast was superb and kept us going!

Cons:

We are not used to sleeping with a heavy duvet and had trouble regulating our sleeping temperatures.

Rauhalliset yöunet
Pros:

Siisti huone ja syvä kylpyamme huoneessa. Rauhallista ja hyvät yöunet.

Cons:

Televisio oli todella pieni, eikä siihen voinut striimata mitään esim puhelimelta, tältä osin siis auttamattomasti vanhanaikainen laite.

A wonderful stay with great value for money
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in a great location. The room was cozy and clean, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was varied and delicious. Great value for money. I especially loved the unique window set into the thick outer wall of the historic building, with a view of the Old Town. I also appreciated being able to open the window and enjoy fresh air instead of relying solely on the air conditioning.

Pros:

Aamiainen oli erinomainen ja monipuolinen. Hotellin aamiainen oli hotelliasmiaisten parhaimmistoa. Yleiset tilat olivat siistit ja viihtyisät, kuten myös huone. Henkilökunta oli ystävällinen ja palvelualtis. Plussaa oli lisäksi, että hotellissa oli pieni kuntosali.

Cons:

Pidin kaikesta.
