It was okay but will not repeat it for sure
Pros:

The staff were friendly

Cons:

You have to give the key to the staff every time you leave the room, while the reception was in another building. The room was outdated and very noisy, you could hear people walking in the adjacent road

Skön och avkopplande vistelse i trevlig atmosfär
Pros:

Läget, rummet, personalen miljön
