Très bien

Un très bon accueil. Chambre avec vue sur mer très agréable, calme , propre et bien équipée. Bon petit déjeuner. Par contre assez surpris de voir qu'il n'y pas de rampe d'accès. Ce qui n'est vraiment pas pratique pour des personnes qui seraient handicapés ou même monter des bagages.

Nette Unterkunft mit Parkplatz und Frühstück

Haben das Hotel gewählt wegen Parkplatz, Lage ist ruhig, kann man mit Fahrrädern über die Fahrradwege in die Altstadt fahren, Strand ist keine 5 min mit dem Rad entfernt. Frühstück mit sehr viel Liebe gemacht und Service sehr aufmerksam. Das Essen im Restaurant war von Preis Leistung mehr als gut. Das Haus ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

Hotel agradable pero necesita una actualización

Trato muy bueno por parte del personal de recepción, desayuno y de la limpieza. Son todos muy amables y agradables. El desayuno está bien, tienes un poco de todo tanto si te gusta el dulce como lo saldado. Lo peor son las instalaciones que necesitan una reforma/actualización. Los baños parece que han sido actualizados hace poco, pero las zonas comunes, el resto de la habitación, el mobiliario y los colchones tienen sus años........

Slet ikke til 4 stjerner! Personalet var venligt og hjælpsomt, morgenmad ok, rengøringen god. Men selv om vi pga Covid 19 havde forberedt os på restriktioner mm, så var det samlet set en KÆMPE skuffelse at være på Golden Tulip. Billedet af pool og spa bruges alle steder som reklame for hotellet, men det var lukket - sammen med træningslokalet og diskoteket. Hotellet er MEGET nedslidt og trænger MEGET til renovering. Både udvendig og en del steder indvendig, bl.a. andet det værelse, vi boede på. Vi har brugt Expedia mindst 20 gange, og dette hotel er uden sammenligning det mest nedslidte, vi har boet på.

The hotel is very remote from the center. The SPA facilities were shut, including gym and pool. I booked 6 nights stay expecting to enjoy SPA massages, pool and other facilities advertised by the hotel. However, at my check-in point I have discovered that everything is closed. One evening I did not feel well and needed some medicines to help with the pain. The hotel reception did not have first aid kit and the nearest pharmacy was within 25 min walk/10 min driving distance. I had shortened my stay to 3 nights as it was simply nothing to do and not pleasant environment to stay.
