Lille Hotell

Lille Hotell

8/10 Good
"A cute little place - reminded me more of a hostel than a hotel as there was no lobby and the free tea/coffee in the morning was by a communal sink with a sign requesting quiet time after 10pm. Good location close to everything / comfy bed plus they let us check in early and a nice late checkout of 12pm was appreciated."

8/10 Good
"The staff were lovely and helpful. The room and bathroom were a good size, though a bit more shelving in the bathroom would be handy for the toiletries. The kettle could do with being on a different tabltor have a longer cable, as you had to either unplug it, or move the cup down to where you could pour. The only other issue, is that the main menu stops at 6 p.m., there are other choices for the next hour, then it closes at 8 p.m. The TV also was problematic, as it gave sound but no picture. Eventually for some reason it actually showed the picture, but it took a good 10 minutes of trying all the buttons, getting annoyed with it and throwing it onto the bed!"

"I liked the hotel, I (being a semi-regular) always like this hotel. However, the switches for electricity in my room were poorly planned (or I could not figure out how to use them). Kind of strange that hotel management has not addressed this issue. Other than that, a very nice hotel."
