"Super nettes Personal, jedoch ist das Hotel extrem in die Jahre gekommen und das Zimmer sehr unsauber."

5.0

Die Lage ist super zentral, aber extrem laut, da die Ampeln die ganze Nacht in voller Lautstärke „piepen“. Selbst durchs geschlossene Fenster konnte man das Ampelsignal laut hören.

Der Balkon war voller Tauben, was an sich ja nicht schlimm ist. Jedoch sind die Tauben direkt ins Zimmer geflogen, sobald man die Balkontür aufgemacht hat. Überall lagen Federn und zum Teil Taubenschiss auf dem Teppich.

"Boka inte här!!!"

1.0

Inget!

Det var en man som jobbade i receptionen som blev arg, suckade och var allmänt otrevlig när vi sa till att vi hade fått ett felaktigt rum. Vi hade bokat ett rum med balkong och fick ett utan. Efter att han gett oss fel rum två gånger fick vi till slut ett rum som vi hade bokat. Vi visade upp bokningsbekräftelsen från booking.com där det stod att det var ett rum med balkong men han vidhöll att vi hade bokat ett annat.
