Australia“Incredible breakfast spread, including the iconic nordic "Skagenrora". Quiet and private, very functional rooms that had everything you needed, very comfortable beds. Great black out curtains, quaint and quiet area with stunning architecture....” - Alesja United Kingdom“Historic place to stay. However, it's been refurbished so heavily and could be better if there would be small museum like one cell dedicated to it's history. Room very clean, comfortable. The best thing was free fika and dinner. That was the best!”
