    Should be advertised as a hostel to properly set expectations. Old building that was remodeled a while ago and could use some updates. Photos a little inaccurate. Not clear where to park. Musty smell when you enter the building.

    Beautiful town.

    There's no place to cook or prepare simple meal. We requested a kettle for hot drinks which the kind staff provided.

    The staff was friendly and informative. The weather turned bad and we booked the place last minute. The bad weather prolonged and we decided to stay for another night. There's a bakery, petrol station and kronan supermarket nearby. We love the friendly and cute cat in the property too.

    Kitchen would be good to have for visitors. Might be renovation would be good for the building. But overall, no issues, all good.

    Friendly owner, explained everything and allowed to choose a room. In the city center, all nearby. Big room, all facilities available.

    The showers weren't clean, bathroom was fine otherwise. The restaurant is also closed downstairs so check in and breakfast are at the hotel across the street.

    Rooms were nice, clean and easily adjustable temperature.

    The value for money could be improved in comparison with similar facilities in the country. Despite there's a kitchen, it is not accessible to guests who can either go the the hotel restaurant or elsewhere in town for their meals

    The property is easy to access and find; the car can be parked just outside at no cost. Keys are to be taken from a near by hotel that also serves breakfast

    Very simple. Shower outside the room didn’t work. Restaurant was closed. Breakfast in a location near by super simple (watery drinks instead of juice, toast instead of bread, canned foods).

    There was no reception available during our stay so everything (check-in, Check-out and breakfast) was covered by another hotel nearby.

    The beds were really comfortable and the building itself had some vintage touch 😊

    All three barhrooms were not clean, and the dining hall was not clean. Also there was no place to cook your own food. We did not know there was a bar next door, that played loud music until 3am. So you did not get a good night sleep

    Good location, and the did respond quickly

    We enjoyed our stay here. The bathrooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. The house had a historical feel to it. It was a rather loud house, since it's a wood building, but we were not bothered by any noise during our stay. THe staff was helpful and reachable, and accommodated our late check-in. We enjoyed our stay here! The little town was charming!

    The breakfast was terrible and looked a few days old. As we arrived no one was there to check us in and we had to search for staff. It all seemed really chaotic and not well managed. Maybe it was because of winter time.

    Didn't get the room we'd booked but wasn't charged for that room and she was very nice and apologetic. The rude French guest (not the hostels fault admittedly).

    The view and the lady(think it was the owner) was lovely and helpful.

    The slapped lipstick on a pig. Covering old bones with new skin, but not really fixing anything. The worst was the restaurant next door. About 2300 the music went to full volume and for several hours they partied the techno dance music, it was so loud we could not sleep.

    Price was great and beds were comfortable.
