Noisy but a decent room.
Booked online. There is a bar downstairs that closes at midnight. If you don’t mind being kept awake until 2 am because of the noise from the bar and the people and traffic in the street then this is the place for you. The room was nice enough. A fan would have been greatly appreciated. Parking is off site.

Sympathisch
Das Personal an der Bar war sehr nett. Um zu den Zimmern zu kommen gibt es einen separaten Eingang. Das Zimmer war sauber und nicht 08:15. Es hat mir sehr gefallen.

Eenvoudig, maar functioneel
Prima verblijf. Netjes, al zou ik niet voor dit soort vloerbedekking kiezen in een 'hotel'kamer. Kleine kamer, met vrijwel geen faciliteiten, maar puur als slaapplaats heb je niet meer nodig. Fijne douche op de kamer. Bed was acceptabel, maar niet super. Het was erg warm op de kamer, ook al was de temperatuur buiten dit niet. Benieuwd hoe warm het hier op echte warme dagen kan worden.

The room was clean and sufficient for us to basically just sleep there. The noise coming through the vent fan in the bathroom was loud. We got hot at night so had to open the windows…it was noisy. But we managed and overall would stay again.

Vi kommer gerne igen
Super hyggeligt sted. Det lå virkelig godt og der var en hyggelig bar/spisested lige under. Det eneste man kan sætte en finger på, er at lyden fra gaden var meget tydelig og der var ikke meget lydisolering. Dette var dog ligegyldigt for os. Godt i forhold til pris. Vi ville klart komme tilbage.
