Liked: Amenities
This hotel is very well located on the water, close to the central part of town. The room and staff were nice, but the AC in the room did not work and the windows could not be opened. It was hot and stuffy in the room, making it uncomfortable to sleep.

Verified traveller

Helt ok

Ok opphold. Lite fasciliteter på rommet. Blant annet ingen vannkoker eller kjøleskap. Små håndklær og man får ikke rene håndklær med mindre man bestiller via en app. Det blir et tiltak, noe som resulterer i at man ikke orker. God mat i restauranten.
