Pros:

De locatie en comfortabele kamer.
Juniorsuite is comfortabel en met een prachtig uitzicht.

Cons:

Parkeren is wat ver weg en je moet best een steile weg omhoog met je bagage.
We konden niet eten in het restaurant vanwege personeelstekort.
Kamer is mooi, maar sober ingericht

Cons:

Alla badrumshängare för badlakan var trasiga i vårt badrum, vi hade ingenstans att hänga våra badhanddukar. Det var sällan bemanning i receptionen pga trolig personalbrist. Receptionisten jobbade även i köket.

Borden var inte uppdukade till tex frukost, dukar saknades och bordytorna på dessa "konferansbord" gav ett tråkigt intryck i en annars mysig miljö.

Förväntningarna var höga efter hur de presenterat boendet och sin mat och service på websidan. Priset speglade heller inte det man erbjöds, exempelvis att alla badrumskrokar var trasiga.

Det var nästan omöjligt att köra fram bilen till boendet, ganska lång gåsträcka gör det svårt med packning, små barn och äldre. Även om man får köra in med sin bil för p- och avlastning är det så trånga gränder att en SUV har svårt att komma igenom.

Pros:

Fantastiskt hotelluppehåll i en härlig historisk byggnad, fin utsikt, bra sängar och till och med fint väder. Restauranten var stängd pga en konfirmation men personalen var väldigt behjälplig med rekommendationer till andra restauranter.

Cons:

Den enda ulempen är kanske att fästningsmuseet är stängt utanför sommarsäsongen.
