Guests often highlight the comfortable, spacious rooms, some featuring balconies with sea views, while breakfast receives positive attention for its variety, including options like fresh scrambled eggs and bacon.

satisfactory stay

helpful staff early check-in central location small room street noise limited ventilation
the hotel is located downtown. it is very convenient for accessing shops and restaurants. i arrived early and the hotel allowed me to check in earlier than expected. the staff members were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
my room faced the staircase leading to the church. this resulted in considerable noise on friday and saturday nights (i heard shouting and singing until 5 am). the room was also rather small and dark. i could only open a small window for fresh air.

central location breakfast choice pickled herring small room small bathroom outside noise
The central location was definitely a plus. It was close to shops and restaurants. The breakfast offered many choices. I especially enjoyed the pickled herring!!!
My room was quite small. The bathroom was also really small. It was difficult to move around. I could hear noises outside at night.
