Gulligt historiskt hotell i lilla, lilla staden. Nästan allt var stängt kl 17.00, förutom hotellet och en bar mittemot. Hotellet ligger mitt i stan. Livsmedelsbutik bredvid. Vi bodde på vån två, ingen hiss. Egen utgång till balkong som går runt huset. Korgstolar med dynor och bord utanför. Kvällssol. Härligt ! Rent och fräsch. Liten kitchenette med fina vinglas och kylskåp.

Beautiful rooms, well appointed, spotlessly vlean and a fantastic location but thecesr plugs ard there for a reason. Its a lovely old building with lots of original features including a lag of sound-proofing of double glazing. But the place has so many pros, this minor con doesn't stop me recommending it.

If your room is in the main part of the hotel there is no air conditioning, the bar across the road is noisy and the hotel next door is also noisy if there is a function on. The restaurant food is bland and overpriced, the waiters are super nice but the restaurant manager is grumpy and doesn’t acknowledge you.
