Amazing location and breakfast. Great for just sleeping in, but not a room to spend much other time in.
Pros:

Fantastic location. Friendly staff on reception. Great breakfast. Free refreshments in the lobby. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Our room decor was very dated, with an odd layout. The bed was hard to squeeze around for one side with no bedside plugs for devices. The bathroom was a “wet room” style. The room had a long dark “entrance corridor” with a desk in it. The room had no fan or air-con and it was hot (26 degrees c).

Pros:

Perfect location.
We were three people and had a big room.
The design of the room is nice.

Cons:

The restaurant for breakfast is small. It was difficult to find a place for 3 people at the same table, so one person had to sit separately.
There is no fridge in the room.

Blandad kompott
Pros:

Frukosten var bra. Läget var excellent.

Cons:

Väl på plats fann inget rum till oss. De ordnade ett rum som skulle vara extra ordinärt men skulle säga att det var ett vanligt rum, dock utan ventilation. Vi skulle stanna 2 dagar men var tvungna att checka ut mellan dessa dagar. Väl utcheckad dag 2. fanns inget nytt rum färdigt och vi var tvungna att lämna bagage i bagagerum. Väl hemma på kvällen fanns ingen i receptionen, tvungen att ringa och väcka personen i fråga. Fick ett nytt rum, betydligt mindre, fortfarande ingen ventilation och vi fick inga nycklar till rummet???
Potential för förbättringar helt klart. Dock var personal trevlig och gjorde så gott de kund
