Sehr gutes Haus unweit vom Zentrum.
Pros:

Das Haus liegt fußläufig unweit vom Hafen, Marktplatz, Esplanade und eigentlichem Zentrum.
Frühstück war im Haus gegenüber in einer etwas ungemütlichen Halle.

Cons:

Vor dem Haus und in der Strasse war Baustelle. Dafür und weil der Schnee noch nicht lange geschmolzen war, und man Kies als Antirutschmittel benutzt, war der Aussenbereich mit Eingangstreppe extrem schmutzig und staubig.

Tiivistä olemista lähellä kaikkea.
Pros:

Standardihuone oli todella ahdas kolmelle henkilölle. Kaikissa varusteluissa kolmatta varaajaa ei oltu huomioitu, mutta asiat olivat niin pieniä, etteivät haitanneet oleskelua.

Huone itsessään oli vastaremontoitu ja siksikin siisti. Parisänky oli loistava ja petivaatteet laadukkaita.

Cons:

Mietimme, miten vähänkään iäkkäämpi yöpyjä pääsee korkeareunaiseen ammeeseen. Muuta tapaa suihkuun pääsemiseksi ei ollut.

Pros:

The hotel is located 5 minutes from one of the harbors of the city in a central location.
Everything was clean.
Personnel was gentle and helpful.
Great breakfast with huge varietyand it served in another building.

Cons:

The hotel is under renovation , which is needed , because the interior and the room we stayed are outdated.

We were given the option to upgrade our stay to a newly renovated room.
Although we didn't make the upgrade , it is nice to have the choice.
