I had a peaceful stay at the hotel, with quiet and well-insulated rooms that shielded me from any outside noise, despite the discrepancy with the website pictures. The location was perfect for exploring the charming Old Town Rauma on foot, enhanced by the proximity to a park for my furry friend. However, the satellite TV listings were not accessible, slightly affecting the overall experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was excellent for exploring the charming old wooden town of Rauma by foot, but the lack of leisure options on-site wasn't ideal. The rooms, while clean, were small and simple, not quite matching the website descriptions. The service, however, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even preparing special meals for dietary needs. The dining experience was satisfying, with a substantial buffet. However, some aspects fell short of expectations, such as the cold supermarket and misleading room descriptions.
