Too hot - bad sleep

Room was awfully hot. That combined with no active cooling (which is pretty normal in Denmark) or option to open a window properly, due to a safety concern i guess, resulted in quite a bad nights sleep. We were there on a windy spring day with lots of sun (but not directly on the window), with low outside temperatures. The location is very central and noisy in the weekends. I can only imagine how warm the room must be on a hot summer day. Apart from being very hot, no option to open a window wide enough to cool it down, and noisy weekends, the room was fine and clean. Oh, the sink was nearly clugged aswell.

Fint rent værelse, men alt for varmt. Trods varmeapparat var slukket og vindue åbent alle dage. God service i receptionen. Mindre god service ved morgenmad. Fungerede godt med parkering.

First, last and only stay.

Small, cramped and cold. Check-in became self check-in the day before because it is outside high-season. The mattress was good but off center, so I nearly feel out of the bed twice. The toilets were nice and clean, with the exception of the ugle and damaged floor. The paper towel was also at a laughable quality. Doing check-out in the early morning I struggled to find the box where I should return the key card to, as there where no notice.
