Super chatty and friendly receptionist who actually show an interest in you when you arrive and how your stay was when you leave. They genuinely seem to enjoy their job. It’s in a super location and I have stayed here before, paying extra to return for my latest trip. The rooms are nice and stylish with comfortable beds, little fridge and a new looking bathroom. The building itself is historic and everything just looks great. Breakfast, as ever, is amazing and I can’t wait to return again. Thank you for another wonderful stay

Just by the train station, light sleepers make sure to ask a room away from the train side as the announcement starts at 4am. It's very convenient coming from the airport and leaving to go take the buses, tram, train or even the ferry with is about 10mins away €24 taxi ride. Their buffet breakfast is in so far, the best I've had traveling the Nordic countries. Located centrally, you could walk to scenice spots downtown. Very spacious rooms just lacking FACE CLOTHS. Definitely a good stay.
