€100 PENALTY IF YOU SMOKE IN YOUR ROOM!

Convenient location from the railway station and not far to the city centre on foot. The rooms are fine. Note that you have to call the owner on your phone when you arrive. No one works at the reception. The price is OK, but almost everything is charged extra; breakfast, towel, even WiFi (although I was not charged, I don't know if I just got lucky?). The registration form asks for credit card data in case you smoke for which the penalty is €100 (I refused to give that information as I am a non-smoker). The shared bathroom smelled badly after 2 days, and the bad smell stayed for the last 3 days of my stay. I only saw someone working for the hotel very briefly once. It is not a nice place to stay, but generally OK.

Centrally located...

The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the city centre, and is also only 2 blocks from the station. Door handle was coming off the shared bathroom door. Bed was comfortable.

Huone oli sopiva yöpymiseen, siisti ja hiljaisella alueella. Sopiva matka rautatie-asemalle. Henkilökunta oli ystÀvÀllistÀ ja neuvoi kaikessa tarpeellisessa. Muut vieraat hiljaisia. Osui pakkasten aikaan, hieman viileÀ, mutta saatavissa lÀmpimÀmmÀksi.

Harriet hostellin majoitusarvio

Kiitos, pidimme majoituksesta. Meille oli tÀrkeÀ levÀtÀ muutama tunti laivareissun jÀlkeen. Aamulla oli aikainen lÀhtö junaan. Juna- asema aivan lÀhellÀ. TÀmÀ oli tÀrkein kriteeri samoin majapaikan rauhallisuus. Huonoa oli pyyhkeiden puuttuminen. Vuodevaatteet olivat siistit. Wc ja kylpyhuone olivat kÀytÀvÀllÀ aivan vieressÀ.
