Average Hotel stay
Hotel is average, it needs refurb. The location is good. There are lots of conferences taking place so you battle to find a place to sit and eat. Be aware check in time is only 16h00. We paid for sea View room but it is only partially sea-view and you look right into everyone else's room. Some staff were really helpful while others were not, so luck of the draw.

Great location, amazing included breakfast, helpful staff. Be aware there is no AC and rooms get really hot. Had to move rooms because, due to room layout, couldn’t open window while sleeping.

It felt like a personal service. Everyone was very helpful. The reception manager was very knowledgeable and extremely competent.
The food both at breakfast and evening buffet in the restaurant was fabulous.
This was the second time that I had stayed. And would stay there again!

Check Credit Card statement regularly in Norway
The 2nd time in our short Norway trip we have been charged again for a room previously paid, well paid months ago when we booked.
The really frustrating thing is they did not tell us. We only found out when we checked our statement. Needing to ring up to get a refund, although they said it had been done but no notification from them about it at all and the amount is still on our account. So did they really discover the error before we rang? 2nd time we have been told the same story.

We didn't realise we needed to pre-book parking and the lot was full, so we parked on the large car park next door but had to pay via the Easypark app. The hotel location and views are fabulous. Breakfast was good, good selection and very comfortable experience. The hotel has a bar and some snack available from reception too.

Room quality is poor. No place for suitcases. Miniature place for clothes. Poor ventilation. No ac. Cheep shower solution that leaks.
Very good breakfast.
