2/10 Poor

Our whole experience of this place was awful. We stayed for two nights with our pet dog. There was no reception, in fact we saw no sign of any staff other than breakfast the morning after checking ourselves in. The room as a positive linen was clean, the bins had not been emptied from previous occupants, there was even food in the bin! Breakfast was a very unpleasant experience, we arranged the time of 9.00AM via text message. When we went down there were no clean tables to sit at so we waited for the staff member to speak to us. They did not! She practically yelled 'can i help you'? to which I answered yes. We had come for breakfast, to be told gruffly - no dogs allowed there is another room to sit in. We were not shown the room. We found it ourselves, dirty and barren! No table laid for us, nothing. The woman (staff member) was so rude another guest came to help us by explaining what to do. Breakfast itself was extremely poor too - therefore we ate nothing. We did not go for breakfast the next day - we packed, paid (reluctantly) and left. We left their sign on our door asking for clean towels as one of the towels was soaked and there was no space to dry them. This was completely ignored despite the room next door being cleaned when we left. Therefore, we had no clean dry towels to use for day two! Awful service. This is the first time where I have felt strongly enough to leave a poor review. There was no bar or restaurant as advertised. Poor poor showing Den Gamle Arrest.

Spændende og usædvanlige omgivelser. Gode senge. Virkelig god morgenmad - og super betjening lige fra indtjekning til udtjekning.

Trång cell att sova i passar en person.

God frukost; ost och färsk frukt. Jättegott bröd. Rummet litet och trångt (en gammal fängelse cell) Att duscha var en utmaning; konsten att inte blöta ner hela rummet lärde man sig . Läget perfekt mitt i Gamla stan.

Svært at sige noget kort - læs anmeldelsen

Der skulle være sendt en mail med info om hvordan jeg kom ind på hotellet, fik jeg aldrig. Telefon nummer på døren henviste til at jeg kunne sende en mail. Da jeg fandt ud af hvor jeg kunne tjekke ind viste det sig at jeg skulle gå halvejs ud af byen til en kælder cafe og derefter tilbage igen. Værelset - ja det var en arrest, men der kunne nu godt have været ordentligt rent, klare oplysninger om internet mm. Morgenmad på stedet en meget sød og behagelig betjening, en god morgen buffet.

Helt ok hotell. Lite förvirrande att man checkar in på ett annat ställe och sen får gå vidare till arresten på annat ställe. Rena och sköna sängar, men ”gammal” doft i rummet. ( inte så konstigt kanske). Toalett som delas med andra var ren. Ska ni ta med djur, som det står är välkomna, så tillkommer en avgift på 250 DKR. Det stod dock inget i bokningen att extra avgift tillkom. Frukosten helt ok med frallor, gott pålägg, bacon, äggröra och korv. Kaffe, te och juice. Müsli och yoghurt. Jättesnäll frukostvärd! Miljön inne på hotellet hade kunnat gå lite mer ”all in” på arrest-temat. Allt var verkligen OK.

Hyggelig og anderledes overnatning.

Sjov og anderledes form for overnatning. Rolige omgivelser, selv om det er lige over for domkirken. Fin morgenmad, venlig betjening😉
