The Lonely Planet guide recommended the Sandvig Havn as a good place to stay in Allinge (pronounced ailing), Bornholm. Surely there is a better hotel in the area? This hotel has a feeling of emptiness and reminded me of a deserted Victorian seaside hotel in the UK. The reception area is not manned.

The apartments are much more spacious although access is two flights up a fire escape. Bedroom and apartment were not cleaned or serviced during our three night stay. Very convenient for a beautiful Sandy beach and lots of...
