哈尔斯特德修道院

Very good

Odd. 4 hotels under the same ownership, with shared entrance & shared breakfast room. Arriving at reception no reservation was found & we were directed to the coffee lounge at the other side of the entrance area. We dragged our bags up the steps & the busy staff member greeted us at the checkout after making 4 coffees & delivering pastries. This was the checkin for Henriks hotel & we did have a reservation. This part of the building is newly refurbished & pleasantly done if a little impractical. The largest bedside lamps I’ve seen dominate & just allow you to squeeze your phone & wallet on. The bottom bed sheet only wraps around the matress topper… The overhead shower sent water over the shower door & the automatic bathroom lighting was like being caught in a spotlight as it clicked on, exposing you in all your glory to your courtyard neighbours through the thin net curtain. Please add a blind or curtain! The buffet Breakfast was very busy, I’m assuming all 4 hotels eat there, unlike other reviews we found it sparse & a limited selection. Very crispy bacon, scrambled eggs & party size frankfurters? Shared slabs of butter were a little odd too. Two very harassed & over worked ladies doing their best at breakfast, politely asking us to leave as others needed a table when we’d finished. The hotel looks nice, it means well, but for $400 per night it needs work. It felt like a place designed & run by hard pressed & well meaning newcomers to being a hotelier. As I said, odd.
