Compared with the price for the Hotel

Not used to European Hotels but there were no tissues or a garbage can capable of holding anything above a few tissues. We did not want cleaning service so it was a bit of an issue for me. Bed was more comfortable than expected and the room was nice. Necessities only which was fine. Breakfast was outstanding at the restaurant.

Hotellet oppleves slitt og kunne trengt noe vedlikehold. Sengene kjentes ut som at de var modne for søppelfyllingen, og renholdet er middelmådig med støv over alt.
Ok frokost.

En flott familie opplevelse!
Rommet var flott og romslig til oss to voksne og spedbarn 1/2 år. Perfekt temperatur i hovedrom og varmt og godt på badet. Rent og fint.
Frokosten er i særklasse, veldig fin restaurant og hyggelig kjøkkenpersonell. Kunne gjerne hatt kaffemaskin med gratis kaffi i resepsjonen hele dagen. Opplevd dette på flere hoteller.
Samarbeidet med SATS settes pris på. Beste «hotellgymmet» jeg har vært på.
Vi koset oss gløgg, takk!

Lite og dårlig/mangelfult rom, frokost burde vært inkludert i prisen. Ubehagelige både dyne og pute. Ingen behagelig stol å sitte i på rommet. Intet klesskap. Badet var bra.

Hotellet ligger bra til, men potensialet er ikke godt nok utnyttet. Det er for enkelt med lite særpreg og ikke høy nok kvalitet på noe område.
