This hotel is part of the Sorell chain now... One is right by the railway station and is truly on the edge of old town, this one is about 15 minutes away from old own by foot. I thought I had booked the closer one... They show up as 'Sorell Hotel near old town' in many booking engines... So make... More

This hotel was much better than I had expected from its two star rating. Above all, it is clean and fresh, with little signs of any wear and tear. The building is not new, but the inside seems very recently refurbished, and the room as well as the breakfast room were shiny and modern. The stone staircase suggested some echo... More
