Edullinen. Viihtyisä ja siisti huone, hyvä aamiainen. Hissitön hotelli!
Pros:

Aamiainen oli valikoimaltaan monipuolinen ja hyvä. Aamiaissali oli hyvin viihtyisä ja valoisa.

Cons:

Kahviautomaatti oli vaikeaselkoinen. Emme saaneet haluamaamme kahvia, vaikka mahdollisuuksia oli paljon. Aamiaisbuffetin salaattiottimet olivat hankalat käyttää. – Hissiä kaipasimme. Emme vielä ole liikuntaesteisiä, mutta 60
jyrkkää porrasnousua kolmanteen kerrokseen olivat haastavia 80-vuotiaille.

Pros:

Dejlig belliiggenhed tæt på alt, også bussen. Gå afstand til alt.
Trygt kvarter.

Cons:

Meget lille seng til 2. Frygtelig lydt på hotellet. Kunne nemt høre hvad naboen snakkede om. Døre der smækkede og Larmende gæster. Elendig morgenmad.
