Ekesparre Boutique Hotel

We liked the location - the hotel is very close to the city center, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes around. We were allowed to bring our dog. Pretty and small summer garden at the back. Free parking next to the hotel. Very nice upper floor library.

1. The hotel is surrounded by water trenches, so in summer-autumn expect many insects in the room. The rooms are stuffy and obviously don't have A/C, so once you open a window - your drinks and food are covered with fruit flies. 2. Yes, our dog was allowed, however it cost us 25 euros/night for a small dog. 3. The staff was welcoming, but not helpful and sometimes unprofessional. Examples - Can we order breakfast to our room? "Probably, but I think it costs". Could you help us out with the flies in the room? "We had a killer spray somewhere...". Was I supposed to go look for it myself and then spray poison all over the room? Why there are no repellents pre-installed in the sockets?? You are located literally in the middle of water! 4. Housekeeping was a surprise. We came to a room with dirty bathroom, dead flies on the windowsills, cobwebs on fan blades and dust. The day they cleaned the room they didn't change the bed sheets, didn't remove the dead flies from windowsills, and the floor was most likely not vacuumed. The fresh towels were just tossed on a stool in the bathroom. Nothing "luxurious" if you ask me. 5. The furniture is quite dated and smells funny. Also the bed/mattress was not comfy. We woke up with back pain every morning. 6. The hotel does not have a restaurant. 7. Breakfast was good, but certainly not "best in town". Sometimes the juices served are off, and don't expect that champagne to be offered every day :) Why? No idea. Probably the waitresses just forget sometimes. As for warm breakfast choices - omelet with ham and cheese or fried eggs and bacon. Every day. No other options.
