Super hotel - men ingen parkering

Super dejligt hotel centralt beliggende. Lækker morgenbuffet. Meget for pengene. Desværre var der ikke parkering ved hotellet, selv om der på HOTELS.COM står at der er tilgængelig parkering. Det var en primær årsag til, at vi valgte hotellet.

The overall experience was just fine. They didn’t have parking available in the middle of the week, the thermostat didn’t work correctly and it was extremely cold inside during summer. Otherwise the hotel was fine.

Unser Zimmer hat direkt gegenüber einer Karaokebar gelegen, die bis 3:00 Uhr nachts laut Musik gemacht hat. Und das nicht nur an einem Abend, sondern von Montag bis Sonntag.

Geen uitzicht vanuit de kamer. We keken op een blinde muur. Jammer, want voor de rest was de kamer OK. Handig dat er ook een parking was al waren sommige plaatsen, alsook de uitgang, zeer smal

Kaldt rom

Sov dårlig i for hard seng. Rommet var kaldt og det var ikke mulig å stille varmen. Det tok hotellet tre netter og ikke få til og reparere dette. Vi fikk ekstra poeng, men ville heller hatt et behagelig opphold
