Trevligt men kanonläge

Mycket trevligt hotell med kanonläge och fantastiskt utsikt. Härlig takbar och stor frukost.

Otrolig frukostbuffé. Perfekt med biskops arms ut mot vattnet vid entrén. Fint rum med en balkong
Sara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fantastisk frukost! Rent och välskött hotell med väldigt bra läge mitt i stan. Betyget dras ner av ett väldigt trångt badrum.
Lena, 1-night trip

Friendly accommodations

The food was good and the room was really clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only issue was the room got really warm, but you could request a fan if you wanted one, which was nice.

10/10 Exceptional

Fint hotell med bra service och bra läge! Bodde i den "nya" delen, rummet var rent och snyggt! Plus i kanten var takpool som var öppen för alla och att man som hotellgäst kunde nyttja den redan från kl 09.00 dagen efter.

Supernöjd!

Supernöjd med hotellet, lyxigt, fräscht, modernt och rent! Jättefint rum, väldigt skön säng, sov som en drottning. Väldigt god och lugn hotellfrukost i trevlig utomhusmiljö. Glad och trevlig personal. Lyxigt med takpool och bar. Kommer gärna tillbaka.
Malin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

En stol

Trevligt sitta på terrassen och äta frukost- Välsorterad frukost. Fin utsikt mot älven, Bra sängar. Men bara en stol att sitta på i ett dubbelrum.
Lennart, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Bra o rent Hotel med bra läge. Lite långt att gå från reception till rum men det visade sig att det fanns en entré till så det fungerade bra. Toppen med den roliga toppbaren med pool. Kändes kontinental.
Ulf, 2-night trip

Slitet dax för uppfräshning
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Svårt att hitta rum och vägar på hotellet. Bodde i den gamla delen och det lånades som en labyrint med hissnyten och trappor varje gång vi skulle dit. Förra vistelsen då vi bodde i den nyare delen var mycket trevligare och bättre.
Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Dejligt hotel

3/4 seng Meget lille bad med skrå vægge og kun brus i glat badekar Skulle med 2 forskellige elevatorer i hver sit n ende af hotellet op fra p kælder God morgenmad Meget centralt beliggenhed Fin p kælder - husk at bestille plads (mulighed for opladning af bil ) Hundevenligt
Helle, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mkt bra men också lite dåligt

Helt ok. Men varmt på rummet. Trist att frukosten stängde redan 9.30 trots semestertider och att pannkakorna var slut redan 8.30… Mycket spring o buller från rummet bredvid dvs lyhört. Trevlig takbar med pool och solhäng!
Sara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rummen är väldigt varma. Det går inte att ha fönstret öppet pga av ljudnivån på gatan utanför, trots att vi var där en söndag.

Sean, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Underbart fint och typiskt stadshotell med bästa läget. Fantastiskt fin matsal med uteservering längs med älven! Utsikten fr rummet var absolut noll men berodde sannolikt för att vi valt ett hundrum, då brukar man inte få de bästa rummen. Plus: vi fick betala extra för vår hund och inget konstigt med det. Av alla 5 hotell vi bodde på på vår resa var detta hotell det enda där de hade ställt in en hundskål, lagt in en filt och till o med lite hundgodis. Uppskattat!
Lars, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Det ända negativa var ljudet av skrapande stolar på takterrassen ovanför vårt rum
Anders, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bortset fra at man startede med at anvise os et værelse som var helt mørkt. Vinduet var dækket af en presenning pga. håndværkere. Vi fik dog et andet værelse uden vrøvl.
