Bore, kelpo hostelli

Pelkästään se, että Bore on vanha ruotsinlaiva takaa elämyksen. No, tietysti hytit on pienet, niinhän ne laivalla on. Aamiainen yksinkertainen mutta ihan kelvollinen. Kahvila oli viihtyisä. Ja henkilökunta palvelualtista ja ystävällistä. Hotellihan tämä ei ole vaan hostelli. Suosittelen!

Ei koskaan

Melko alkeellinen ja ahdas. Itse piti laittaa lakanat. 90 euroa moisesta on liikaa, kun aamiainenkin oli aika suppea.

Mukava kokemus, tullaan toistekin. Hyvä aamupala, henkilökunta ja siisti hytti. Ainoa miinus, että hytissä oli liian kylmä. Heräsin yöllä käytävältä tulleeseen kovaääniseen puheeseen monta kertaa.
