OK overall

A bit hot in our room at night, unable to lower the temperature. Small cabin but ok for 1 night.

Bore, kelpo hostelli

Pelkästään se, että Bore on vanha ruotsinlaiva takaa elämyksen. No, tietysti hytit on pienet, niinhän ne laivalla on. Aamiainen yksinkertainen mutta ihan kelvollinen. Kahvila oli viihtyisä. Ja henkilökunta palvelualtista ja ystävällistä. Hotellihan tämä ei ole vaan hostelli. Suosittelen!

Ei koskaan

Melko alkeellinen ja ahdas. Itse piti laittaa lakanat. 90 euroa moisesta on liikaa, kun aamiainenkin oli aika suppea.

Mukava kokemus, tullaan toistekin. Hyvä aamupala, henkilökunta ja siisti hytti. Ainoa miinus, että hytissä oli liian kylmä. Heräsin yöllä käytävältä tulleeseen kovaääniseen puheeseen monta kertaa.

Majoitus oli aikalailla odotuksen mukainen. Vuoteen kapeus häiritsi kun on tottunut leveään sänkyyn. Kaipasimme laseja tai mukeja hyttiin. Siisteys ok. Aamiainen oli hyvä.
