Enkelt boende i pensionatsklass till hotellpris. Jag upplevde sängen som obekväm, det lät från ventilationen, enkel frukost med det nödvändigaste.
Bra läge nära mina kunder i området.

Prisvärt och charmigt
Inga problem med incheckning trots att vi kom sent. Fina omgivningar, charmigt och mkt vänlig personal. God frukost. Bra sängar. Måste ha fönstren vidöppna pga värmen och saknade insektsnät.

Fräscht hotell med gamla anor
Fräscht hotell med enkel standard. Rummet var välstädat och hade bra sängar. Lite lyhört men lugnt läge. Möjligtvatt äta frukost både inne eller ute på altanen, enkel frukost med goda råvaror.

Kulturhistorisk goding
Mycket bra boende centralt i Alfta. När till Edsbyn. Prydligt och en väl förvaltad kulturbyggnad. Väldigt god frukost. Trevlig personal och allt fungerade enligt avtal.
