amazing stay!

helpful staff central location good service

i loved that johanna at the front desk helped me a lot! she prepared my parcel for sending it to canada. i also really liked the hotel location. it was central to the lake and the bus station.

i think the disco in the basement can be disturbing. i wish there were quieter options available for those wanting to sleep earlier.

comfortable bed easy access massive shower coffee maker spare pillow early checkout

I found a very comfortable bed. The room provided easy access to all luggage. The shower seemed very massive to me.

I did not find a coffee maker in the room. There was no spare pillow. I noted that checkout occurred at ten instead of eleven, as in other establishments.
