Our experience here by far is the best during this trip. Can't say enough good things about this place. We will definitely miss it. Wish we could change plans and just extend our stay. Perhaps next time we will come and stay here again. Can't beat this location. Plus complimentary luggage storage. Other hotels charge for this.

Hyggeligt hotel med super sødt personale

Hyggeligt hotel, ligger tæt på alt. Personalet meget venlige, hjælpsomme og med godt humør. God seng og hyggeligt værelse med udsigt til gaden, vi havde mulighed for at lave kaffe og te på værelset. Morgenmaden var super. Badeværelse var ret koldt, men så blev man hurtigt frisk. Vi vil gerne anbefale hotellet.
