Sjovt overnatningssted for én nat

Jeg har i lang tid ønsket at bo her, og det var også sjovt og en anderledes oplevelse. Jeg går normalt udenom steder med delt badeværelse, men dette sted skulle prøves. Man kan ikke bo mere centralt i det hyggelige centrum, hvor der er mange spisesteder. Morgenmaden var god.

Gut gelegen und günstig, aber nicht empfehlenswert

Die Lage ist hervorragend, aber ich würde das Hotel nicht empfehlen. Das kleine Zimmer mit der alten Zellentür wirkt bedrückend und klaustrophobisch. Die sanitären Installationen müssten erneuert werden. Es waren nur selten Ansprechpartner:innen vor Ort.

Imponerende

Når man som os er til bymidter med arkitektonisk sammenhæng findes dette lille hotel ikke bedre, og morsommere! Små gamle celler med dobbeltseng og med en mezzanin med to stole og et bord. Min sjæl, hvad vil du mere. Morgenmaden fortræffelig, ovenikøbet med i prisen. Hurra, we’ll be back.

Dårlig oplevelse

Et værelse med gamle slidte gulvtæpper med smuds’. Sengene var af den helt billige og bløde slags, som jeg ikke har stødt på i mange år. Morgenmaden var meget begrænset og på kostskoleniveau. Samlet set helt ude af takt med prisen (1460)

Parkering lå langt fra hotellet. Man skulle hente nøglen et andet sted end hotellet. Prisen svarede til hvad man må forvente af et godt hotel, men standarden og oplevelsen svarede mere til et hostel ophold. Det var simpelthen for dyrt i forhold til hvad vi fik. Morgenmaden kom portionsanrettet, dvs der var en del spild, for det var jo ikke alt vi ønskede at spise. Domkirkens tårn var lige uden for vores vindue. Meget meget flot. Men klokken klimtede hvert kvarter hele natten...

Dårligt lys og korte senge

Stedet var meget rent. Fællesbad og - toilet var simple, men gode. Kaffemaskine med stort udvalg og rimelige priser. Værelsets senge var for korte for en voksen mand. Der var kun én lyskilde, loftslampen, der virkede, der var koldt, og der var kun én fungerende stikkontakt på værelset. Meget venlig betjening ved morgenbuffeten. Nøglerne skal hentes på en anden adresse. Jeg har ikke kunnet finde, hvor det var oplyst.

Da vi ankom var hotellet aflåst og der var ingen personale til stede. Efter en opringning til hotellet, fik vi at vide at vi skulle hente nøglen på en restaurant længere nede af gågaden. Da vi så endelig fik nøglen skulle vi op på 2. sal og vi skulle bo på det mindste værelse. To personer og to hunde. Det var ikke sjovt. Vi havde på forhånd bestilt et værelse med to senge, men sengene stod med ca. 5 cm mellemrum. Og de kunne ikke flyttes fordi værelset var så småt. Morgenmaden var god, og det var, trods alt, rart med et hundevenligt hotel.

Our whole experience of this place was awful. We stayed for two nights with our pet dog. There was no reception, in fact we saw no sign of any staff other than breakfast the morning after checking ourselves in. The room as a positive linen was clean, the bins had not been emptied from previous occupants, there was even food in the bin! Breakfast was a very unpleasant experience, we arranged the time of 9.00AM via text message. When we went down there were no clean tables to sit at so we waited for the staff member to speak to us. They did not! She practically yelled 'can i help you'? to which I answered yes. We had come for breakfast, to be told gruffly - no dogs allowed there is another room to sit in. We were not shown the room. We found it ourselves, dirty and barren! No table laid for us, nothing. The woman (staff member) was so rude another guest came to help us by explaining what to do. Breakfast itself was extremely poor too - therefore we ate nothing. We did not go for breakfast the next day - we packed, paid (reluctantly) and left. We left their sign on our door asking for clean towels as one of the towels was soaked and there was no space to dry them. This was completely ignored despite the room next door being cleaned when we left. Therefore, we had no clean dry towels to use for day two! Awful service. This is the first time where I have felt strongly enough to leave a poor review. There was no bar or restaurant as advertised. Poor poor showing Den Gamle Arrest.
