Reviews
However, considering the price, the overall value for money is not very high. The facilities are outdated, and the room condition feels old. Basic amenities such as toiletries require an additional charge, which was disappointing. The television was also not functioning during my stay.
Most concerning was the service attitude. The front desk staff were not very friendly, and their attitude definitely needs improvement.
Aside from its proximity to the airport, there are unfortunately no other notable advantages.
But if it rain, the walkway becomes very wet. So it s so hard to darg our luguages.
Double bed was two single mattress pushed together with uncomfortable gap between and no mattress topper.
Food was ok.
Only reason to stay here is the 2 minute walk to airport for the 0600 flight.
Check-in and checkouts was easy
Cons: The bed is small, and the duvet is thin and short (Are all Scandinavians that short?) – it doesn't even cover my feet. The shower water temperature is terrible, not hot at all, though the sink water is warm. Crucially, I couldn't find any heating in the entire room... I was shivering in the -2 degree weather.
Given Nordic prices, I'd say the value is just average, but the facilities are really subpar!
