Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently highlight the hotel's prime location near the harbour and ferry, as well as its proximity to the town center and the Kulturhuset. The inclusion of both breakfast and a dinner buffet, often featuring dishes like tacos, is appreciated by many, and the modern rooms offer spacious layouts, with some offering sea views. While most find the hotel to be a good value, some have noted that drinks can be relatively expensive and are not included in the buffet.
