Pros:

I loved it here, I spent one night, but I will definitely be back. Perfect location for shops, old town, high street and bus station all with in 5 minutes walk or less. Also a 2 minute walk to the beach. Loved it. Thank you for having me.

Cons:

There veggie sausage needs to change to vegan ones as I had 2 of there's and they are mash potato with carrots and peas in side. Vegan ones are cheap now adays and much better then having these ones.

I did not manage to get there
Cons:

I booked a room here and later realized that I would need to take a ferry to get to the hotel, which I hadn't known beforehand. I called the hotel to explain the issue. The manager told me to wait until the next day and promised that I would get a refund. However, when I called the next day—and for several days after—no one answered. Finally, on Monday or Tuesday, I managed to speak to a receptionist who told me they would call me back. Since then, no one has tried to contact me. I was lied to and I definitely do not recommend this hotel.

Another great stay.
Pros:

We have stayed at Medehamstede Hotel last year and liked the experience. This year we booked again and requested the same family room with bunk beds, which was just perfect for us - spacious, clean, quiet with wonderful high ceilings. Great, old-fashioned breakfast with gigantic tea and coffee pots served by kind and smiley staff. Good value for money as well. The hotel might not be everybody's cup of tea, it's quite quirky with interesting decor (think 80s extravaganza) but we will be back!

Cons:

We liked pretty much everything about it.

Pros:

Easy to find, customer service was good but didn't need to complain

Cons:

Could not find the off road parking, and main entrance was not close to the parking area, but more building design than owners issue. The carpark had 2 coaches in the carpark area blocking view of the parking area so parked on the side street for the night. Ensuite was a little cramped, but most ensuite are
