Hemtrevliga och fräscha rum! Bra läge och trevlig hjälpsam personal. Skönt med kodlås och slippa in och utcheckning
Pros:

Jätte mysiga och fina rum. Trevligt kök, lite stökigt och ostädat men ändå oki. Eget badrum stort plus!

Hyvä sijainti ja hinta, suosittelen varovaisuutta hygienian kanssa
Pros:

Pidin siitä, että paikka oli lähellä keskustaa, suhteellisen halpa ja omassa huoneessani oli kylppäri.

Cons:

Sängyltäni löytyi ötökkä. Epäilen, että se saattoi olla lude. En saanut kuvaa, mutta tapoin ötökän ja katsoin monta kertaa sängyn läpi. En onneksi saanut puremia yön aikana, mutta jouduin olevaan tarkka omien tavaroitteni ja vaatteitteni kanssa ja pitämään ne poissa lattialta ja sängyltä. Onneksi oli talon puolesta lakanat. Matkailijan kannattaa olla varovainen täällä yöpyessä ja olisi hyvä, jos keltaisen talon huoneisiin tehtäisiin tuholaistarkastus kaiken varalta.

Ett trevligt ställe.
Pros:

Personalens bemötande. Välstädat

Cons:

Parkeringsplatserna inte märkta så folk parkerade som de ville. En dag tog två bilar fyra platser p g a felaktig parkering utan tanke på att andra kanske ville ha en plats för sin bil.

Bra! Men kunde förbättras
Pros:

Bra kundservice. Bra läge och lätt att hitta dit. Det gemensamma köket med kylskåp var ett plus.

Cons:

Ett underlakan saknades i en av rummena som vi hade bokat. Ett påslakan hade fläckar på sig.

Pros:

Sentral beliggenhet, hyggelig stue og kjøkken

Badet trenger oppjustering. Ingen steder å ledde fra seg Tim og ingen knagger til håndklær.
Dårlig pute og dyne!
