Poor Food, Lovely room

The Room was fine, all the activities for kids was great. But the evening menu was very poor. The beef filled have the size of the bun, the ketchup was selfinvented and tasted mostly like pure tomato pure, not kid friendly.. Just a poor experience dinning

Bra placering på hotellet. Fantastisk service till frukost, glutenfria pannkakor inga problem. Enkelt att ha med hund. Önskar vattenkokare och kaffe, te på rummet. Lite personal på kvällen i restaurangen, problem med kassan. Väldigt nöjda med vår vistelse his Er.

Guldställe

Mycket trevlig personal! Rakt av! Väldigt bra frukost och restaurangen levererade även kvällstid. Sköna sängar. Men avsaknaden av aircondition blev tydlig när det var 30 grader i skuggan. Mycket varmt på rummet. Vore det möjligt att sätta kortläsare på dörrarna längst bort från receptionen så skulle det förenkla väldigt mycket. Vi hade en del tung packning som vi var tvungna att ha med på dagarna och vi hade rum längst bort från receptionen. Men vistelsen var kanon! Kommer definitivt välja detta hotell igen. Detta mycket tack vare den fantastiska personalen.

Ok hotell

Det var veldig varmt på rommet, men det var usedvanlig varme dager i Sverige. Vi fikk to vifter på rommet, men det var fortsatt varmt. Menyen i restauranten var enkel, men ok. Vannet i bassenget var iskaldt.

Dåligt. Svårt att få parkering. Smutsigt rum. Fick en fläkt för att kunna vara i rummet når det var varmt ute, det var fruktansvärt varmt.
