Viihtyisä, ja lähellä keskustaa. Tosi kaunis miljöö. Ihana ravintola vieressä. Hyvä aamupalaa. Täydellinen vastine rahoille!

Pros:

Prisvärt hotell. Bra frukost.

Cons:

Mycket lyhört och krog som spelade hög musik i närheten (det var en lördagskväll). Jag hade dock öronproppar med mig och skulle bara vara på hotellet för att övernatta och sedan äta frukost innan jag drog vidare.

Prisvärt mycket bra boende för ensam resande.
Pros:

Otroligt välstädat och fräscht prisvärt boende centralt i Umeå, med en historia som ger tankar.

Cons:

Nackdelen är korridortoaletter/dusch men jag har alltid varit ”själv” där, alltid välstädat, fräscht.

Oikein hyvä majoitus hyvällä sijainnilla ja hinnalla
Pros:

Hyvä sijainti, siisti huone ja vessat, maukas simppeli mutta riittävän laaja aamupala, loistava parkkimahdollisuus autolle

Cons:

Huoneessa oli huonosti pistorasioita, löysimme vain yhden kokovartalopeilin

Hyvät yöunet, hyvä hinta-laatu-suhde Uumajassa
Pros:

Hinta-laatu-suhde erinomainen. Kauniisti laitettu vanha rakennus, tilava huone, nukuimme hyvin. Mielenkiintoinen paikka myös historiansa puolesta, joka oli hyvin esillä. Ei haitannut ollenkaan, ettei huoneessa ollut omaa vessaa ja suihkua. Jaetut tilat olivat siistit ja peseytymistiloja oli riittävästi. Kaikki sujui hyvin.

Cons:

Pidin kaikesta. Suosittelen tätä hotellia myös niille, jotka yleensä haluavat oman wc:n ja suihkun.
