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.

Badrummet inte rent nog för mina krav. Sängen var smutsig på ovansidan av täcket. Frukosten var inte bra. Äggröran smakade konstigt. Melonerna var kontaminerade med någon annan smak. En brödlimpa var inte helt tinad. Spa-delen var däremot väldigt bra. Gymmet helt okej.

Mediokert hotell med fantastisk reception/service
Hade bokat ett enkelrum, checkade in på ett rum som kändes bortglömt i slutet av en korridor och som luktade avlopp.
Gick ner till receptionen och sa till och fick direkt ett nytt rum och en uppgradering utan att jag viste de till ett dubbelrum med nyrenoverad toalett som ökade min upplevelse o trivsel markant.
Supertrevlig och serviceminded personal vilket alltid är ett stort plus!
Frukostbuffén är absolut inget märkvärdigt o rätt mediokert men fortfarande bättre än vissa mer moderna hotell jag besökt.
Helhetsintrycket: Gammalt hotell, supertrevlig personal, bra dubbelrum, behöver renoveras en del för att uppnå dagens standard mått.
