Pros:

In general was all okay.

Cons:

Had difficulties to start the EV charger on the parking lot.
Parking lot does not belong to the hotel, however it is right in front of it. Would be very convenient if they do merge the services and guests do not have to pay for hote, parking, charging, all separately. Would expect that hotel of such a name and size would provide parking services as standard.

Pros:

Sehr gutes und reichhaltiges Frühstück. Perfekte Lage zur Altstadt und Ladestation auf dem Parkplatz hat auch funktioniert.

Cons:

Leider war bei uns im Zimmer mit dem Abfluss in der Dusche was nicht korrekt und es hat sehr stark gestunken. Jemand kam auch schnell vorbei um dies dies zubeheben und zureinigen, aber leider hat dies nicht viel geholfen. Leider konnten wir das Zimmer nicht wechseln, da es Fully-booked war. Somit war die Tür zum Badezimmer meist geschlossen und war daher ertragbar für eine Nacht.

It was nice but I would rather search for something else next time
Cons:

I ordered a two bed room and the receptionist gave us a single large bed room. (For two old guys) 🙈
Parking area was diorganized due to some cleaning the next day so you didn’t know where to park.

Det klassiske storhotellet i byen
Pros:

Sentralt beliggende hotell med alt man trenger. God parkering (selvsagt dyrt), flott nattklubb, store og fine rom som vi fikk (med flott utsikt). Nydelig frokost og god plass.

Cons:

Resepsjonen hadde for lite bemanning den dagen. Uerfaren person som kunne trengt litt bistand i en stresset periode. Rot med feil nøkler etc..
