Familjevänligt hotell med det lilla extra. Bokade ekonomi rum och det var precis lagom för oss. Nära till lekrum och utomhuspool en bit bort som barnen älskade.
Enda minuset var brödet till frukosten, torra frallor som inte kändes nya. Men resten av frukosten helt ok. Bra standard utbud med ägg, bacon, fil, pannkakor, vattenmelon mm.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hotel is not the newest. Still it has some advantages and friendly staff. Cozy beds and nice surroundings. Breakfast without Espresso Machine and could be improved in many ways.
Dårlig lydisolering mod værelset ovenover, hvilket resulterede i en meget tidlig vækning af børn der hoppede i sengen, legede og løb på gulvet.

Hyggeligt med plads til forbedringer
Generelt er hyggeligt hotel med masser af muligheder og ligger godt.
Det var pænt og rent og venligt personale.
De er lidt udfordret i restauranten mht. timing.. aftens buffet mangler tit det mest populære ting og der var lang ventetid på opfyldning, ligeledes morgenmads buffeten var der lange ventetider på de mest populære ting op mod 20 min begge dage

Buffet in restaurant in the evening not good at all
Trevlig personal i receptionen, stort rum för 2 vuxna och 2 barn, lite stökig frukostmiljö efter 8.30, helt okej frukost med det man behöver. Överlag väldigt nöjda!
