Centrum Hotel
Very comfortable 2-day stay at Centrum Hotel. My room was clean and everything worked they way it is supposed to. Although I didn't have an opportunity to eat or have a drink there, the downstairs bar looked very inviting.

K16 apartments
Really appreciated first class laundry facility. Kitchen well equipped, lovely spacious modern apartment. Only problem was the dreadful bed - no proper mattress, just a kind of soft non-supporting topper. Both of us awoke with back pain.

Svartaborg
We absolutely loved it. An excellent "cottage" complete for a long term stay with very nice appointments and a gorgeous serene and peaceful view. It is about 30 minutes from towns and grocery stores so plan ahead. The hosts were very helpful and responsive.
