Good but not the best.

Nice clean Hotel, although age is starting to show up at the premises. Poll and sauna at hotel. Room was clean and quiet, but with 2 kids there was not a lot of room. The hotel is little off the city centre, about 20 minutes walk away. Rentable scooters at hotel. 4.90 euro / 30 minutes. A little expensive considering the age of the hotel but good stay. Breakfast was a rich buffee table.
