I’m coming here for the breakfast. The staff is going out of their way to make you happy. The rooms are great but I didn’t like the harsh chemicals they clean with. I’m very sensitive to smell like that. The location is great. A three minute walk to downtown.

Perfectly charming

Even over the Christmas Holidays when staffing can be problematic, the service was outstanding. Nice, large rooms, excellent breakfast. They helped us with unusual requests due to holiday closings of nearby restaurants, etc. Great small-city atmosphere near the train to the big city.

Room 301

Room 301 on this property is simply awful. This street level room faces the sun all day which requires the roll down shade be closed at all times for privacy and to keep out as much heat as possible because there is no air conditioning. The windows themselves need to be open for air circulation but this means lots of noise. The room faces the courtyard where cars and motorcycles idle a few short meters from the open windows and next to the entry door for building 3 so people are always walking past and chatting, smoking or banging suitcases. The bathroom window opens into a small tunnel that amplifies every conversation and sounds from the popular restaurants directly behind the building. After all that, there are the normal sounds from birds, rainstorms and church bells ringing on the quarter hour. There are 10 parking spots for 38 rooms so you have to contact the property directly to reserve one in advance or hope you can snag one when someone checks out. Other local parking is free overnight until 7:00 but you have to feed the meter every 3 hours during the day. The location is great and the town is beautiful but our room was a big disappointment.

Ok hotell med nytt bad og sentral beliggenhet.Bråkete vifte på badet. Underlige og ukomfortable møbler,så ut som det var satt i sammen av loppisfunn. Pluss for kjøleskap og mineralvann. Benyttet meg ikke av restaurant/frukost,så kan ikke uttale meg om det. For de som er glade i å sove på morgenen- styr unna! Byens kirke som ligger like ved starter ding-dongingen sin 7 om morgenen, og fortsetter hvert 15 min til kl 10😡

Kleines Hotel, ohne Klimaanlage, was bei 30 Grad von Bedeutung ist. Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig und ausreichend. Ich bekam an der Rezeption einen Ventilator geliehen. Abends war es bis 22:30 sehr laut im Innenhof. Danach dann himmlisch ruhig. Das Hotel liegt direkt in der Altstadt. Alles ist zu Fuß erreichbar.
