Flott hotell med hyggelige ansatte. Frokosten var nydelig og av passe størrelse. Litt eldre hotell som kunne trengt litt renovering etterhvert, men absolutt ikke noe som hindrer et nytt besøk fra vår side. Gangavstand til det vi ønsket og få med oss og nok av parkeringsplasser rundt hotellet. Anbefales.

Hôtel très vieillissant, qui mériterait une rénovation de fond en comble. Chambres très chaudes malgré un ventilateur. La présence d’une bouilloire est la seule différence entre les chambres extra et les chambres standard, ce qui est totalement injustifié pour un rapport qualité prix vraiment très mauvais. Seul le petit déjeuner est d’un bon niveau.

Personnel serviable et souriant, aux petits soins. Petit déjeuner varié, de qualité, servi dans une grande salle où l'on se sent bien. Animaux de compagnie bien accueillis. Hôtel bien situé, à proximité du musée Sami. J'aurais voulu y séjourner plus longtemps !
