The hotel is located in the middle of the village. ATM and some shops are within a walking distance. However, there is a lot to improve in the hotel itself.

The room was not very well cleaned when we arrived, there was a pair of womens used tights in the open wardrobe and plenty of long hair all over the bathroom. Shower shampoo was also empty. Just a generally wert poor show. Hangers are from the old owners (Scandic), just with some tape over to hide the branding. Please note that the spa is only open on mornings for a c.
