Nice stay

Nice hotel with good spa options (for extra price) and plenty of games options (billard, pikado, etc.) The breakfast was very good. The room was very small with too soft bed.

Far away from everything except the industrial port all around. If you just want to stay here and don't have your own ride it's great.Not a backpackers place by any stretch.

Great hotel in a not so great area

Very nice hotel with great interior (restaurant, bars, garden etc). Unfortunately it's situated in a highly industrialised area, so we could smell exhaust and other sort of chemical smells through the window. Shouldn't be an issue on cooler days, but we were there while it was warm and had to open our window during the night.

Best photographer i have ever met

We were very suprised to say the least when we arrived to the property, where huge cargo containers, pipes and trains where the main view. Which was strange since all the pictures displayed forrest scenery, maybe the pictures were taken before one of Scandinavias largest industrial parks was built around the hotel. This also had the benefit of having a long commute to the city 🙂 Luckily the room was small and therefore easily to navigate, hard to lose something when you only have 2 square meters of floor space. We also got to see two rooms since the first room was not cleaned when we arrived. Breakfast was nice, spa was expensive, would not recomend. However i would hire the photographer, which i hope was paid well for the editing.
