Pros:

Tillräckligt många riktiga sängar och i olika små rum så att det räckte till oss alla fyra att dela upp oss i två rum - utan att behöva betala dubbelt för dubbla hotellrum. Mycket värt! Nära till terminalen. Perfekt för en enkel övernattning.

Byggnaden har fin charm.

Kesäreissu 2026 T & J
Pros:

Varaus oli helppo tehdä. Bonuksena milloin vain sai pientä välipalaa (voileipiä)ja kahvia/mehua ruokailutilasta. Sijainti erinomainen jos tulee Vassasta myöhään illalla tai lähtee aamulla aikaisin. Parkkitilaa oli reilusti.

Cons:

Hieman osa tiloista kaipaisi päivittämistä ja parisänky olisi ollut toiveissa

Pros:

Läget är bra och lugnt område.

Cons:

Rummen överensstämmer inte med bilderna. Badrummet behöver en renovering, vattnet sprutade ner på golvet vid tvättstället.

Jättebra ställe och precis vad vi behövde
Pros:

Intressant område med historia. Trevligt att ströva omkring runt byggnaderna .
Hotellet har ju tidigare varit huvudkontor vilket märks. Det är stort och rymligt men inte direkt hotellkänsla - vilket inte gör något.

Cons:

Tidigare har det varit en fin stor gräsmatta runt byggnaden, med en sittgrupp längst ner mot vattnet (som man skulle se om några träd och en del sly togs bort) med grillmöjligheter. Tyvärr nu igenväxt.

Hyggeligt sted med fin beliggenhed. Det ligger langt ude og der var nok 2-3 km fra bussen i holmsund og til overnatnings
Pros:

Rolig beliggenhed
Rent og pænt
Dejligt med sandwich da stedet (for gående backpackere) virkelig ligger langt væk for spisesteder.

Cons:

Man kan ikke booke taxi fra overnatnings stedet (holmsund) og til vasafærgen (3-4 km på mega befærdet vej ) - vi skulle betale den pris taxi ville have kostet fra Umeå …så vi kunne lige så godt have valgt en overnatning der…
