Great stay. Location awesome walking distance to lots of things and very central. Easy check in and safe surroundings with lots of security Improvements would need to be communication. Organised in advance airport shuttle only to be told they “missed the messages” and didn’t send anyone.

Great location within easy walking distance of the waterfront. Spar grocery store a quick 5-10 min walk away. Checking can be a bit hectic if multiple visitors arriving.

Mycket trevlig personal i receptionen

Blev hänvisad till fel apartment. Lyckligt att den rättte hyresgästen accepterade att bli tilldelad en annan, vilket annars hade betytt att vi fått packa ihop och flytta till ett annat rum. Däremot faceigenkänning för att komma åt hissarna fungerade aldrig, trots flera omfotograferingar.
