Clarion Hotel Admiral
Good hotel in walking distance to Train station. Was a bit annoyed that we booked a family room and they tried to put us in the standard room. Also room was overly hot… seems common in European hotels.

Scandic Neptun
Our bathroom had black mould in the shower area and the whole room smelt like mildew/mould. Staff was not helpful & quite rude when addressed. They did go on mid strike during our stay, which did not effect our stay
