Et ophold der gav os mulighed for at lade op i hyggelige og eksklusive omgivelser
Pros:

Vi kunne godt lide atmosfæren på hotellet, der var en hyggelig og stor lounge med mulighed for at få serveret mad og drikke. Der var en bar tilknyttet, som vi brugte om aftenen istedet for at gå ud, det var genialt. Morgenmaden var fantastisk. Personalet var usædvanligt venlige og opmærksomme☺️ Hotellet og værelserne var meget rene og velholdte.

Although the nights sleep was poor, I would stay again for location and price
Pros:

Well located for our visit

Cons:

The mattress on the bed was firm and lumpy and the quilt was too. The room was extremely warm leaving it difficult to sleep
