Room was bigger than other hotels we stayed at in Scandinavia. Clean with nice shower. Breakfast was very good and staff were friendly. There was plenty of parking which was not the case at other hotels. Short walk to town center.

It is a nice area and safe and clean. It is relatively old hotel. We got a room very far from the front desk which is inconvenient.

Poor Food, Lovely room

The Room was fine, all the activities for kids was great. But the evening menu was very poor. The beef filled have the size of the bun, the ketchup was selfinvented and tasted mostly like pure tomato pure, not kid friendly.. Just a poor experience dinning

The room was well cleaned. In spite of that it was a superior room, there was only one chair in this 2-bed room. In the lobby there was only very low chairs/sofas so that an older/retired person had to stand and could not sit anywhere.
