14 Jan 2025
The room was very cold (i have to turn on the heater which took long time to get warmed) The most beautiful thing were no hot water to take a bath. Very funny that no body informed me at the reception and when i got in contact with expedia custoner service , they informed me that ( The hotel chef is available on the morning at 8am to discuss with me the problem) Why? how he /she could know that i am available next day? Maybe i have early check out. They are not hospitality people.They are just making business. NOT Recomended.
They even did not fix the hot water the whole night. It was horriable experiance. It worth 200 norwegian krones for one night. Not more than that.

Kan bli bedre...
Ligger flott til i forhold til Kvadrat. Ellers er ting litt gjennomsnittlig.... Alt i alt ikke dårlig, men heller ikke kjempefint...
