Shaun does construction at the moment you could hear very loud construction. No one in early that wakes you up. Also lift was broke for a day otherwise people like nice breakfast was really good.

Basic hotel in need of renovation

Rooms were little outdated and pretty basic. Beds were not the best. Location was great and staff friendly. Parking was tricky as it is located in the nearby shopping centre and it was not possible to stop in front of the hotel (busy street).
Terhi, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel is conveniently located across from the central station and with a bus located at the entrance. Great breakfast selection. The bedroom was comfortable. The bathroom and shower was extremely small! Every time I showered the bathroom used to flood, making it disgusting to have to walk on your shower water which never dried.

10/10 Excellent

Check out at 12 pm. Give us flexibility

2/10 Terrible

Under renovation

The hotel is under renovation. This lead to a lot of noise from 7 in the morning. There was a lot of builder dust on the first floor, there was no heating in my bathroom (freezing), and the hotel had no option to move to a proper room. Would definitely avoid staying here until renovations are done. On the positive side the location is really good, and everything is close.
Bjørn, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Staff was very friendly. We would have liked a better view instead of looking at a construction site. Blowdryer broke down. Asked for another one but it never arrived. Asked for ice and the machine was broke. Parking was at another location and almost impossible to unload your luggage at the hotel as it was a bus zone in front of the hotel. We enjoyed the breakfast it was very delicious.

Under renovation

The hotel seems nice enough, but at the time of our visit the big scale of renovation was the most signicant impression. The room was quite small and the water pressure in the shower was low. Over all I am not impressed, and think that I would choose a different hotel next time. However, the timing was probably infortunate
