Das Haus ist gut gelegen, nur wenige Meter zum Einkaufen, zu Restaurants, zum Wasser. Ideal zum Besuch des Golden Circle. Die Mitarbeiter*innen waren sehr freundlich und haben gern weitergeholfen. Das Frühstück war lecker incl. Konfirmationskuchen vom Wochenende​... Das Zimmer war gut und funktional, die Küche richtig cool! Sehr zu empfehlen, wir kommen gern wieder.

Great customer service at reception. Them room needed hooks on the doors or walls, we had nothing to hang anything up. We had one shelf but couldn't reach it because it had been placed really high up. Apart from that the beds were very comfortable and the shower was very good. In the kitchen it was very well laid out but needed more kettles and more small saucepans. Thank you
