Recommended for cyclists

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We travel with our bicycles and very much appreciated that we could store our bicycles in the hotel in the basement. The hotel is nicely located directly at the river and the city center is close by. There is free coffee at all times and the breakfast was appropriate. We can recommend the hotel for people traveling by bicycle.

Ett stopp på vår väg hem från Norrland och det var ett litet trevligt hotell. Personalen var väldigt trevliga och rummet var perfekt till ändamålet. Det var rent och fint när vi kom och det ända negativa är det här med att inte ha en dörr/draperi in till duschen då det blir så vått på resten av toaletten när man duschat. Frukosten var hur bra som helst och där fanns det man kan förvänta sig av en hotellfrukost. Nära och bra att ta sig in till stan med en kort promenad.
