Great location and price for a private room. You get what you pay for, facilities are run down, and i was checked into a completely uncleaned room (was moved to a clean room without any issue)

Keep the exits clear please

The hotel is what it is, to a point where it's almost comically charming. Toilets seat strapped with cable ties and graffiti on the bedroom wall. However, for at least two days one of the hallways that also serves as an emergency exit was blocked by a large trolley and different building materials that were stored on the floor. In the (likely) case of an evacuation that's just dangerous and unforgivable.

You get what you pay for - to an extent, with this one. Cheap room in a superb location. Relatively clean but facilities are befitting the price - poor decor, cracked and loose bathroom floor tiles, a travesty of a zip tied shower, poor room ventilation and a general condition of something you'd expect for the lowest local price. Set your expectations low, then go lower. If you need a place to crash - perfect. If you need functional facilities and a pleasant environment go elsewhere.

Nothing worked properly. Dirty room with no or only very little clearing. The Windows almost fell out of the frames. The staff was unfriendly/arrogant. No service what so ever. A really bad experience.

When we arrived nodoby was there and the option was to make a phone call if you do not have roaming (I came from Argentina) because the cost of having activated the cell phone is so expensive is a complication Being said that, the floor was dirty, the floor of the room the same, Take a shower was so difficult because the whole floor was flooded HORRIBLE

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Although the staff member that checked me in was very nice, helping me find a place to lock my bike on the property, the poor condition of the building and rooms was very concerning. A review in German on another website said there were bed bugs here at some point, and though my inspection didn’t reveal any, the grime under the bed and general condition and smell of the property did not provide any reassurance. Simple maintenance things like properly functioning faucet valves, paint touch ups and more thorough cleaning would help. I don’t recommend this place.

Possible check-in was announced from 5pm. Reference was made to the Broremann Bar but it only opened from 6pm. At least there was a phone number on the door and the staff was on site quickly after a call. When booking through Expedia, it said "free breakfast". This was only negated when the hotel sent an email. The hotel WiFi was almost unusable. A TV was available, but no remote control. About the lack of possibility of using the TV was also only pointed out after the booking was made. If you want to sleep late, you should use hearing protection, as the location on the harbor and above the bar is definitely associated with business and street noise. Lots of hair in the shower from the previous tenant. Fungal infestation on the bathroom walls and on the shower curtain. Bad air in hallway, bathroom. Overall pretty worn facility. Only for emergency overnight stays, don't forget bath slippers.

Rein seng og rein vask på badet. Sentral beliggenhet for oss. Vi har ledd i fire dager av pussige løsninger. Kommer aldri til å glemme disse dagene på dette rimelige overnattings stedet. Med humor innabords og lavhelte sko var det en opplevelse å entre korridorene. Koffertene ble båret opp til rommene av personalet. Nøkkelsystemet var enkelt å forstå. Kommer gjerne igjen.
Med sans for detaljer. Så lenge det virker er alt greit.
