6/10 Good

some ups and downs

Good location - kind staff - fine breakfast - poor cleaning and expensive beer
Asger Bache, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room layout was poor, meaning two people with a case each will not enjoy the room at all... more like playing tetris from the inside. Had to climb over the bed to get to the other side due to duct at floor level on the far side of the bed. Hopefully other rooms in hotel are not as bad as 313.
Gerard, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Helt greit

Hotellet var helt greit, men det var ikke rent på hotellrommene. Det hadde også noen fiffige løsninger med skjøteledning liggende på gulvet for å få lys i lamper. Det var hovedsakelig badet jeg så manglende renhold (spesielt oppover vegger, dørkarm, under vask). Turte ikke utforske rommet mer, men resten av rommet virket greit. Lite rom, men helt fint for en natt. God frokost. Liten frokostsal. Sentralt.
Lise, 1-night trip

Enkelt og sentralt

Sentralt hotell som ligger midt i "gryta". Rommet var lite. Lite plass til bagasje, klær og etc. Ingen skap. Kunne gå opp i senga fra den ene siden. Rommet hadde godt renhold, men bærer preg av slitasje. Kun mulighet for å sette vindu på haspen, men måtte lukke på natta pga mye støy. Frokosten var variert og god.

Sängen var jätte obekväm det är därför fick dålig sömn och om man sover inte så bra då betyder man tjänar sig trött och få en dåligt fysiskt och psykiskt sjuka, det måste man tänka på. Tack Mvh Raz
