Great early May visit!
We ended our 10 day south coast trip at Hotel From and we were not disappointed. It was and is in a great location! We were able to walk to all the places left on our list. The breakfast was abundant and varied. We were four adults and had an apartment room. We were happily surprised by the space we had! If you have a car, find a parking garage! On street parking is not really an option. Three of the four front desk staff we encountered could have been more friendly but they answered our questions. Overall - We would definitely stay again!

Great place/location
Great little place. Great value. It's on the same street as the Lebowski bar, and only a block away. Great, friendly staff. My ONLY complaint is that the shower was so small. I'm 6' 3" and there was absolutely no way to bend my legs and properly wash my feet as the shower is very cramped.

Rasa for the win
Rasa the front desk receptionist legitimately saved my life. I was robbed in Iceland and was completely stranded. Rasa helped me any way she could, and I managed to make it back home!! Truly the nicest receptionist I have ever encountered and she went above and beyond to try to help me.

Pretty ok!
Good location, quiet rooms despite busy street. Nice to have a kettle and fridge in the room. I have stayed here before and would again.
The room wasnt as clean as I might have liked, there was a few stray hairs in the bedding (thankfully that was *all* I found when I checked) and the room was quite dusty.
Bathrooms are tiny and have a very strong sulfur smell, takes some time to get cold drinking water.
Staff was helpful and able to grant early check in.
