I spent two days during Christmas in the hotel and was very pleased. My double room was very stylish and clean. Beds were comfortable, The curtains kept it dark at night, and there was little noise from outside. The only complaint must be that I could not see what the weather was like outside since my window faced the lobby hall. On the other hand, I could watch the children play there in the evening (quite nice!)
I appreciated all the TV channels including the TV1000 package. The minibar was great. I tried the training room in the basement with the sauna and steam bath. The training room was small, but cleverly planned as they had a number of dumbbells and a kinetics machine which are very versatile equipment. In addition they had a stationary bike, treadmills and elipical. But bring your water bottle, because steam from the sauna heats up the training room!
I did not try the sauna or the steam bath since I did not bring a swinsuit. It looked quite stylished though - would have loved to try it. The training, sauna and steam bath is for free once you book your room.
The breakfast was lots of food to choose from, both warm and cold. However, if anything I wished for more local specialities to make the hotel more edgy foodwise. This was typical Norwegian/English breakfast, They had some herring though. The view to the outside from the breakfast room is in no way spectacular. But the interior are. You can't get it all, can you?
