8/10 Very good

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.

Ferier Juli 2025

Fint hotell og hyggeligt personale. Fine rom men dog litt uheldig med utsikten på vårt rom. Ingen minibar/kjøleskap her og heller ingen rengjøring under oppholdet (2 netter), må kansje bestilles. God frokost og god plass selvom det var midt i fellesferien. Litt kaos tilstander med heisen da det bare var 2 heiser. Ble litt venting og kø da vi med barnevogn må ta heis. Kjapp insjekk og utsjekk. Gode parkeringsmuligheter i garasje under hotell, men denne stenger etter midnatt så ble ventende der lenge før vi kom oss inn etter kaptein Sabeltann show. Kunne ikke se noe telefon nummer vi kunne ringe heller, sto i kø der ilag med 5 andre biler.
