The overall experience was just fine. They didn’t have parking available in the middle of the week, the thermostat didn’t work correctly and it was extremely cold inside during summer. Otherwise the hotel was fine.

Unser Zimmer hat direkt gegenüber einer Karaokebar gelegen, die bis 3:00 Uhr nachts laut Musik gemacht hat. Und das nicht nur an einem Abend, sondern von Montag bis Sonntag.

Kaldt rom

Sov dårlig i for hard seng. Rommet var kaldt og det var ikke mulig å stille varmen. Det tok hotellet tre netter og ikke få til og reparere dette. Vi fikk ekstra poeng, men ville heller hatt et behagelig opphold
