Centralt läge och sköna sängar, men standarden lever inte upp till priset.
Pros:

Rummet var fint och fräscht, bekväma sängar. Takterassen med pool var väldigt trevlig med fin utsikt! Mer centralt läge får man inte.

Cons:

Vägen till rummet kändes som en labyrint och lite sliten interiör. Samma med frukostsalen, fick leta sig dit. Frukosten var urplockad och inte alls vad jag hade hoppats på, kändes inte som något extra från andra hotell.
Att vi inte fick nyttja takpoolen innan incheckning var lite snålt, särskilt när det handlade om en timme bara.
