Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The location is excellent! (parking was a five minute walk away). The breakfast and dinner were great, and much appreciated, as food was quite expensive in this town. The staff were friendly and helpful. (it was unusually hot weather when we were there, and they gave us a fan for the room)

Old world Nordic charm

A small and charming hotel. Parking is a bit of an issue as it's offsite. Room was small but clean. Lousy view of a rockface. But comfortable. Choose it as it's on way to Torp Airport. Solid. Pretty. But lacks a wow factor

This is the second time in three years that i have stayed in this property . Not only is it clean and filled with friendly service, the area is charming. I highly recommend it. Special thanks to Gunnar, the man at the front desk who was particularly kind and helpful.
