Faantastiskt fengslende

Med bare en liten kilometer til Pollen er dette hotellet en faantastisk plass . Gratis parkering gjør ting mye lettere . Audun og Frode er gode vennlige og service-minded . Og med årsprogrammet for 20w5 må dette stedet bare besøkes

As a prison experience this is a fantastic choice.. The manager is a former inmate and the history itselv is worth it All... Before we arrived, we joked about that the Breakfast would be bread and water.. It was almost like that... Not continental 😊 As a hotel experience it is not the choice...

Hadde et kort, men fint opphold her med barnebarnet. Var stort å gå på oppdagelsesferd og spille airhockey og bordtennis i kjelleren. Enkel og god frokost! Kommer gjerne igjen.
