A very busy hotel. A lot of noise at breakfast and dinner. Sometimes chaotic. No chairs in the room. Just a stool. Personel friendly. When I checked in it lasted more than 15 minutes until they had found that I had paid in advance.

Average place to stay

The hotel staff, pool, and breakfast were wonderful, but the room was incredibly cramped and not even close to sound-proof, so we heard the conversations from our next door neighbor and his family. The bathroom was rundown and could use some updating.

Distance for going to Dyreparken is perfect. We found a half eaten bag of sweets in our bed, makes you wonder if they even changed the sheets before our stay. Property is due for renovations. We got only 1 towel for 3 guests. There could have been more options at the breakfast buffet.
