Great place to stay, friendly staff and well located, close to everything!
Melissa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Bad service

When we arrived at the agreed time (3 p.m.) our room was not cleaned yet. The receptionist said that it would be ready in a few minutes and that we can wait in the lobby for a moment. We understood that she will come and let us know when it is cleaned and ready. We waited for almost an hour and when I went to ask why it is not ready yet, she asked my name and seemed that she did not even remember what it was about. Another receptionist joined the conversation and when he understood what it was about, he told immediately that the room was ready. We got the feeling that the first receptionist just forgot us..

Oppholdet var veldig bra. Kjempe flott hotell og flinke folk som jobber der. Rommet stod desverre ikke helt til forventningene. Rom 262. Det var veldig slitt og ikke helt det man forventer av et 5 stjerners hotel. Men veldig myk og god seng!

4/10 Fair

För dyrt för vad man får

Detta hotell säljer sig som ett 4-stjärnigt hotell, vilket det inte är. Lobbyn är fin, men rummen är gamla, mörka, trånga och inte värt pengarna. Vi bokade ett deluxe rum (3500NOK), och fick ett rum tillhörande ett 2-3 stjärnigt hotell. Ingen minibar (stängd under sommaren!), urkass AC och ett badrum från sent 80-tal. Som jämförelse så bodde vi natten innan i centrala Olso, 5-stjärnigt hotell för samma kostnad. Och till sist; man måste uppskatta skrikande barn om man bor här (vilket hotellet såklart inte kan rå för, men är av betydande vikt för oss resenärer som inte uppskattar spring och skrik från barn).

Utmerket beliggenhet

Fint hotell med utmerket beliggenhet. Som ventet mye barnefamiljer så frokosten blir trang og hektisk. Rommet helt fint men fikk ikke til AC så det ble litt kjølig !!
