Good stay in convenient location
We had a good stay, the pool area was a bonus and the staff were great. The meals were good quality and breakfast plentiful. The beds were very soft and didn't suit us and rooms a little dated and tired. Overall a nice pleasant stay in the right location for a stop before continuing our journey.

Hyggelig betjening. Nydelig frokost,stille og rolig. Flott bad, men hotellet er litt slitent. Vinduet på rommet var i stykker, slik at vi ikke kunne åpne det, gardiner var i stykker, men det ble fikset.Alt i Alt var vi godt tilfreds med oppholdet.

Schönes Hotel aber schlecht mit ÖPNV zu erreichen
Das Hotel ist sehr schön. Das Zimmer war etwas in die Jahre gekommen, was man an quietschenden Türen oder nur schwer zu öffnenden Schränken erkennt.
Ein Highlight ist der Wellnessbereich. Das Frühstück hat eine gute Auswahl und wird regelmäßig aufgefüllt.
Problematisch ist die schlechte Erreichbarkeit mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Die Haltestelle direkt vor dem Hotel wird nur stündlich bedient. Eine weiter Entfernte Haltestelle „Sidogatan“ ist in fünfzehn Minuten Fußweg erreichbar. Es führt ein Schotterweg vom Hotel zur Straße. Man bekommt den Eindruck, dass man bei der Konzeption des Hotels nur Autofahrer im Blick hatte.
