I have rarely felt as welcome as I do here, it's like coming home. Even if you arrive later than the stated times, a personal envelope makes you feel like you were just waiting for me. It is very clean, cozy, simply furnished and managed with a lot of heart. The breakfast is also perfect, not too much or too little; The location is also just right, centrally located but on a quieter street. You'll be happy to come back again, thank you for your exceptional hospitality!

What an address! A wonderful historical building, the best location and facilities and great service! I was welcomed and looked after in a very friendly and caring manner by Ms. Stahn and Ms. Christofferson. Thank you for the opportunity to store my e-bike in the main building! The bathroom in my single room was very large and spacious, and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. In keeping with the name and tradition of the house, I felt like I was being treated like a prince.
