One word review: Awesome! One of the best hotels I've stayed in. Great location, spacious room, comfy beds, armchair, free access to the sauna, jacuzzi and gym. VERY generous, delicious and nutritious breakfast. Literally next door to at least 3 quality restaurants, 2 shopping malls and 1 minute walk from the town square. Friendly, helfpul and knowledgeable staff. Very slight gripe, no kettle in room. But there was a fridge, well-stocked minibar, an ironboard, hairdryer, etc.

Ystävällinen palvelu. Huone vetoinen ja viileä, mutta muuten mukava. Hyvät sängyt.

Muuten oikein hyvä hotelli ja palvelu / aamiainen , mutta huone kadun puolella meluisa. Meteli kuuluu oitkin yötä, häiritsee nukkumista

Hei Harri,Kiitos palautteesta.Mukava, että aamiainen maistui ja olit tyytyväinen palveluun. Pahoittelut, että katumelu kuului huoneeseen. Jatkossa kannattaa toivoa etukäteen huonetta esim. sisäpihan puolelta, johon ei kadun äänet kuulu.Hyvää syksyn jatkoa ja tervetuloa uudelleen! :)

Loistava sijainti, hyvä huone, erittäin ystävällinen ja avulias henkilökunta.
