This is a solid two star facility. If all you require is a cheap clean spacious room for a night, it'll do the trick. If you want service, minimal decor, amenities - don't go there. Didn't see any stuff. You pick up/leave the room key on the counter of the front desk.

This place was unique and the property and building is just amazing. The old vibes and goth grooves had me feeling like i was in a movie. Place is amazing.

Quiet and well located for the ferry

Comfortable room in a sprawling hotel, often empty while I was there - thought there were enough people for a party on Saturday night. Huge variety of places to sit and hang out, the games room and free food for evening snacks were highlights.

Don't let the Shining vibe put you off

Fascinating...the hotel appeared empty/closed when we arrived. The door was locked. The phone number on the door sign did not work. Then I noticed the text I had received the day earlier (and ignored) with portkod info. Not sure if this is a covid-19 situation but everything was done without human interaction: let yourself in, pick up keys, info about breakfast, etc. in the envelope. Once in, I was pleasantly surprised. Total timewarp. The 24-hr self-serve coffee and oatmeal was charming, too. Definitely off the beaten path but an enjoyable one-night stay.

Stayed on the top floor, loud pitched sound from ventilation system made it hard to fall asleep. A wonderful walking trail just outside the hotel.

Breakfast is less than basic, i would suggest to go eat somewhere else or pay a little more for a differnt locate that includes breakfast as well. Wifi wasnt the greatest either but they do have it available. Beds were really comfortable though. Bathroom took some getting used too but very creative on how they maximized space.

Very reasonable priced hotel

Simple room, thin duvet, but still the hotel has a warm feel. Did not speak to personnel during stay. Self service breakfast serving basic breakfast. Overall fine for short stay.

Needs to improve

I was in a business trip and when I got there there was nobody to help you in. The only option for dinner was a sandwich which was very dissapointing.

Enklare hotell med bra service

Enklare hotell. Bra stÀdning. Frukosten innehöll det viktigaste man kan önska. Personalen var mycket lyhörd nÀr vi ville byta rum. Vi var ocksÄ mycket nöjda med rummet vi bytte till.
