Pros:

Hyggelige ansatte. Sentralt i byen med flott utsikt. Likte at det fantes treningsrom, men kunne hatt litt større styrkerom enn bare et par kettlebells.

Cons:

Teppet på gulvet. Ikke mulighet for å frisk luft, da bakgården var innglassert.

Pros:

Gutes Frühstück, sogar mit Kaffeevollautomaten und Kakao. Ab 15 Uhr gab es kostenlosen Kaffee und Muffins. Die Betten waren gut. Lage war zentral am Hafen. Fußgängerzone zu Fuß erreichbar. Nahes Parken im öffentlichen Bereich mit günstigen Parkgebühren.

Cons:

Am Anreisetag stand der einzige Hotelaufzug erst ab 15 Uhr wegen Säuberung zur Verfügung. Wir hatten unser Zimmer in der 5. Etage. Mit Gepäck hat man uns eine einmalige Auffahrt ermöglicht. Auch auf Nachfrage hatte das Hotel wirklich nur einen Aufzug. Und das bei über 100 Zimmer. Das habe ich noch nicht erlebt. Das Hotel wurde nur mit Halbpension angeboten. Das Abendbuffet bestand aus verschiedenen Salaten, einer warmen Speise, die neben Kartoffeln und Gemüse lediglich aus eine Scheibe Hackfleisch bestand. Nicht sehr hochwertig. Zum Buffet gehört für mich auch ein Dessert. Das fehlte jedoch.

Bon hôtel vieillissant, avec une formule intéressante dîner compris.
Pros:

La vue magnifique, même si le temps était mauvais.
La taille de la suite.
Le dîner du soir (compris dans le prix de la chambre), particulièrement la soupe et les salades.
La salle des repas ouverte sur le quai et la mer.

Cons:

L'agencement de la suite : sur 2 niveaux, ce n'est pas très pratique la nuit.
L'ameublement, désuet.
Difficultés d'assombrir complètement la chambre.
La salle de bains était bien chauffée, mais cela se traduisait par une sortie d'air froid par une grille donnant sur l'arrière du lit de la chambre : absurde.
Hôtel au décor incertain et daté.
Pas de parking propre à l'hôtel ; parkings proches mais payants en dehors des jours fériés.

Lite profesjonelt servicetilbud.
Cons:

Arrogant resepsjonist som lo hånlig da vi spurte om kanelsnurrene inngikk i "fika". "Dem må du betale for "

Det reklameres for middag, men den kan knapt kalles enkel lunch.

Focaccia, servert 17.mai, var seig og gammel.

Fraværende servitør i restauranten.
