Clink i Lár
"The location is fantastic. The site was very clean. During busy times it’s easier to take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. The breakfast is convenient and decent shall you opt to pay the daily fee. Laundry facility was too much IMO (5 wash 7 dry). Would definitely stay again."
