I didn’t like the bed it was so uncomfortable and the bathroom was old and the shower water was not good because it was giving cold and hot water at the same time. One of the rooms we had was only for two people when we we had booked for 3 so it was without bed for kids. We was told that the room had sea view but it was not quite enough. The sea was far away and the view was not clear like in the picture.

God seng og dusj

Helt fantastisk rom, god størrelse og utrolig gode senger. Dusjen var helt amazing. Her kommer vi definitivt tilbake. Var utrolig mye folk når vi var der og en måtte spise frokost på ett gitt klokkeslett. Litt kjedelig å vente på frokost kl 10 når vi våknet kl7! Ble trukket ett lite beløp etter besøket som jeg ikke vet hva er. Prøvd å kontakte hotellet uten å lykkes i det

Fint opphold med enkeltrom. Innsjekking gikk noe tregt pga stor pågang, opplæring av personale og trege datasystemer (i følge personalet). Fint og rent rom. Vannkoker og kaffe på rommet. Kort vei fra parkeringshus. God frokost!

Godt utvalg for allergivennlig mat på frokostbuffén, det var veldig viktig for meg😊 Med egen honningkube ga hele buffén ekstra fin touch! At man har frokostkort når tid man kan spise var bra for å minske voldsomt kø til buffén men jeg følte litt sånn press da kortet har også en "utløpstid". Ellers hele oppholdet var avslappende, det var en velfungerende aircondition på mitt rom, og det var veldig deilig bad😁
