Everything is easily accessible on foot, unfortunately there is no restaurant in the building.

A regular spot for moped trips. Great staff, good breakfast and you can get a drink in the parking cave. A stone's throw from the West Harbour.

Niina made the stay a very special experience. She has such genuine warmth and positive energy that you can see from the moment you first meet her. She does her job with a relaxed confidence, but at the same time is very professional, and makes guests feel welcome. It's rare to meet someone in a hotel who leaves such a good impression - Nina is exactly the type of person who makes a place memorable and makes guests want to come back. A great person and clearly has her heart in what she does. Albert is lucky to have someone like her there. ✨ Five stars!
