Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was nice and compact, with clean rooms that were comfortable for most part. However, the decoration felt a bit soulless, and the bathroom was a little dated. The service was welcoming and helpful, and the location was great, within walking distance of the old town and public transportation. The dining experience was very pleasing with a variety of options, and the facilities were well-maintained.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, right in the town center with plenty of shopping and dining options. The dining experience left a little to be desired with limited breakfast choices, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
After a long weekend with lots of hard work preparing a big event in Oslo, the hotel was a nice and compact choice, offering clean rooms with a shower and bath tube. The room was furnished very nicely and had a separate sitting area with a TV that could be turned toward the couch or bed. The staff were very kind and even went out of their way to prepare a non-milk entree on request. The location is on the Main Street of town, with lots of shopping and dining options and within walking distance from the train/bus station. However, the dining experience was below average, especially considering the price range of burgers in town. Despite that, the hotel offers a great value for money overall.
The hotel may not be ideal for those looking for spacious rooms with amenities, but it offers a friendly and helpful service in a perfect location at the center of town.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and nicely decorated, offering a delicious 'light supper' with plenty of choices, but the lack of air-conditioning was a downside. The cost seemed a bit high for the standard and age of the room compared to what we had before.
