Very comfortable beds
Clean bathrooms
Perfect location

Cons:

A concierge booking taxis to and from airport on guests behalf

Jättefint och trevlig personal. Åt inte på restaurangen denna gång, men har gjort det flera gånger förut. Rekommenderas
Pros:

Gillade allt. Vi fick checka in tidigt och fick dessutom ett uppgraderat rum som var stort och fint. Frukosten var fantastisk och läget perfekt

Cons:

Inget att klaga på

Fint hotell med gode senger og nydelig frokost! Sentralt beliggende, men kan være støy i gaten
Pros:

Fantastisk frokost! fint rom, supergod seng. Flott bygg med nydelige trapper og heis

Cons:

Merkelig at personalet i resepsjonen nesten aldri ser opp og sier HALLO når man passerer. Det skjedde flere ganger. Og det er jo helt stille der... Når man går inn døren ved siden av resepsjonen og direkte til rommet, er det jo ingen kontakt overhodet med folk som jobber der. Litt merkelig følelse ...

Hade högre förväntningar
Pros:

Sängen kändes fräsch

Cons:

Kändes ostädat och duschen var slemmig på golvet, inte värt pengarna tyvärr

Mycket bra!
Pros:

Oerhört trevlig personal. Fantastisk frukost! Hela hotellet är mkt charmigt.

Cons:

Vi sov en tors till fredag. En stor del av natten stördes vi av dunka-dunka från nån nattklubb. Trots att vi sov högst upp på våning 6.
Det fanns dock öronproppar framlagda.

Otroligt bra, rekommenderar starkt, skulle välja igen.
Pros:

Mycket bra frukost, otroligt fina rum, trevlig personal

Cons:

Läget var mycket centralt och bra men det resulterade ju då också i att trafiken levde om väldigt mycket, även på natten.

Fint vackert hotell men för hög volym nattetid
Pros:

Mysigt, vacker och god frukost.

Cons:

Tyvärr ligger det precis vid nattklubbar och väldigt mycket liv på natten. Svårt att sova, vid 3-4 lugnade det ner sig. Rekommenderar inte om man inte sover tungt eller själv vill festa sent.

Lousy start but staff corrected it
Pros:

I like this hotel for the location and the normally good rooms and exceptional breakfast. This time the room was really bad but handled well by front desk

Cons:

First time I have booked a room in the top floor which was terrible. Full price and described as cozy and great rooms. In reality there was a napkin-size window with barely no natural daylight. If you are renting out a interior of a cool-coo clock you should say so clearly.
