Nice location, walking distance from city center. No minibar was a surprise (negative). Tried 30mins to get screen sharing work with the TV without success, really bad. We spent previuous night in Tammer and their TV had chromecast which was very intuitive and took 1 minute to get it into use. Restaurant service was not good. We gave some feedback about overcooked salmon salad which had far too much mayo but told also that duck confit was nice. Waitress comment was that good that you got at least something to eat then.

Aula oli avara ja tyylikäs. Huone oli siisti ja sängyt mukavat. Aamiainen oli erinomainen. Auton pysäköinti hotellin asiakkaille maksullista, 11€/vrk.
