Pros:

Rent rom

Cons:

Kunne med fordel vært bedre senger, en god overmadrass hadde løst mye.

Gute Möglichkeit zum Übernachten in entspannter Umgebung
Pros:

Ruhige Lage, schöne Aussicht. Funktionale einfache Ausstattung, großes, helles Zimmer. Kurzer Fußweg zum Hafen und zum Strand, Parkmöglichkeiten am Haus.

Cons:

Ein einziger Stuhl für zwei Personen war zu wenig. Keine Kleiderhaken, keine Schränke.

Små tiltak og forbedringer hadde gjort det mye mye bedre.
Pros:

Beliggenheten.

Cons:

Utrolig dårlig og lite sjenerøst at det ikke fantes et eneste lite såpestykke eller såpedispenser montert på veggen. Det fantes heller ikke tannglass. HVor mye koster det å skaffe disse to tingene? VI betaler tross alt rundt 1200 kroner natta. Altså var det ikke anledning til å ha med et vannglass på senga. Vider var det null nattlamper, slik at det var umulig å lese på senga. Én bordlampe med særdeles svak pære, Ikke nattbord heller. DEt hadde vært helt greit om dette var på plass. Må man virkelig spare så mye? Hva med å være ørlite granne mer sjenerøs og gi gjestene en følelse av å være litt mer ønsket/ velkommen. Vinduet på vårt rom virket ikke. Det kunne ikke åpnes, men vi antar det var en feil. Fikk litt panikk over å være sperret inn.

Kunne ønsket det var frokost. Siden vi spiste frokost på rommet, hadde det vært fint med litt fler en en stol.

God plassering og valuta for pengene.
Pros:

God beliggenhet. Har alt man trenger.

Cons:

Mye bråk om natten gjorde at det ble lite søvn siste natten. Men det er nok heller voksne ledere som reiste med et av korpsene på festivalen sin feil. Mye springing og roping i gangene lenge etter det skulle vært ro.
