Value for Money

Food praised in several reviews (very good food, top breakfast), but multiple guests criticised breakfast variety, split breakfast rooms, missing items and inconsistent gluten/lactose options.

Trevligt
Pros:

Läget var bra då vi var på genomresa. Väldigt trevlig personal!

Cons:

Rummets ytor var dammiga och handfatet hade en fet hinna (kändes inte helt städat). Frukosten som vi särskilt hade förväntningar på var helt ok, men inte som vi läst i tidigare recensioner.

Cons:

Önskar att lamporna kunde ökas i styrka. Upplevde rummet samt toalett mycket mörkt, det var svårt att sminka sig.
Frukosten önskades mer och större. Dåligt att den var uppdelad på olika rum. Fanns inte ens paprika till smörgås eller mörkt bröd. Är van vid att hotell har eget utrymme för glutenfritt/laktosfritt här fanns ingenting utan man var tvungen att säga till om det skulle behövas. Ullareds hotellfrukost är exemplarisk, ta efter det konceptet.

Beautiful, centrally-located hotel with a great value for money!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel ! They’re in the process of renovating at it is beautiful. Incredibly friendly staff and amazing location. Private (locked) parking garage with ev charging was a major bonus !

Cons:

Some of the rooms look across into another hallway which we didn’t love but for one night it was okay.

Pros:

Okej frukost, inte så bra som betyget. Kändes lite oengagerat från kock och personal. Saknade bär och godare musli

Cons:

Relaxen kunde ha ingått i priset eller haft ett billigare pris.

Pros:

Πολύ ωραία διαμονή σε ένα υπέροχο δωμάτιο, με πολύ όμορφη διακόσμηση και πολύ ωραίο μπάνιο!

Cons:

Το βράδυ που ήρθαμε ζητήσαμε να αγοράσουμε νερό στο δωμάτιο, όχι όμως ανθρακούχο και δεν είχε. Όταν ζητήσαμε να μας δώσει μια κανάτα, σαν αυτό που μας σέρβιραν στο τραπέζι μας με το φαγητό, αρνήθηκαν και μας είπαν ότι μπορούμε να πιούμε από το νερό του μπάνιου. Όχι δεν μπορούμε!!!
