Good location.

The noise from the pub below was awful - the music was way too loud. I would not stay here again.

Kanskje litt mange trapper…

Amazing location and nice room. Good staff and pub next door is handy for a drink

Pros:

Great location, nice and clean hotel a bit small but i stayed only one night so it was fine.

Cons:

In their description was that room has hairdryer but it didn’t have, you can probably ask receptionist (which is there 24/7) but I honestly didn’t feel comfortable calling them at 2am after coming from party, straight after shower asking them to bring me hairdryer. If it says it’s part of the room facility it should be there.
