First of, they do not have AC in the room. Unbearable, just a small table fan, a loud one at that. Second, need to get better at responding to messages. Tried several times without reply. Other than that the hotel is okey, very nice and welcoming staff. Nice breakfast.

Unfortunately, our room was very hot during our stay. Although a fan was provided, it did little to cool the room down. We couldn’t keep the window open because of the heavy traffic noise just outside, which made it difficult to sleep. We asked if it was possible to change rooms, but unfortunately, no other rooms were available. We also had our bikes parked outside, and during the night someone stole the toolboxes mounted on them. This was not the hotel’s fault, but it did make us feel that the surrounding area was not particularly secure.

Vi havde en forfærdelig nat på hotellet. Familie værelset vi boede på havde ingen ventilation. Eneste mulighed for luft var et lille vindue ud mod en stærkt traffikeret gade. Temperaturen på værelset var 28 grader som gjorde at vi stort sett ikke sov. Det skal siges at personalet var søde, men hjælper ikke når værelset er så dårligt. Kan derfor ikke anbefale nogen at overnatte der. I hvert fald ikke på familieværelser som vender ud mod vejen. I tillæg var det også et dyrt rom som blev markedsført som et fint Design Hotel. Det er det ikke.

Helt greit hotell med fin beliggenhet i Ålborg. Frokosten var kjedelig. Det er ikke air condition. Lite og litt slitt bad. Tror uansett det er blant de bedre hotellene i Ålborg.
