This is a very good hotel. It isn't the slickest or fanciest of places (tvs in the rooms are a little elderly, for example), but it does all the basics very well, and also has the Clarion Collection extras which can make life that bit easier: free coffee, waffles in the afternoon, a light buffet in the evening (all particularly welcome given Norwegian prices, of course). But the thing which really stood out for me was the extremely welcoming and friendly atmosphere: the staff manage to strike the perfect balance between efficiency and informality, and the result is a very cheerful and pleasant place to spend a few days.

I have never experenced a larger mis-match between price and product. This hotel opened in 1991, and used to be known as cozy and personal. I stayed there in 2001 last time, and noticed that a refurbishment probably wasn´t far away. Now another 10 years later, the hotel is worn out, rooms are disaterous with dirty carpets, extremely dirty and dusty, bathrooms are full of soap and hair leftovers on the tiles, shower door so rusty that the tiles were brown.
We had ordered a double bed room, and got a 140-150 cm bed prepared for one person. No extra douvet or pillow in sight. Returned to the front desk and asked if this was a mistake, where the rude woman on duty said this was all they had, and we could find extra douvet and pillow wrapped in plastic bags in a locker room. No other rooms? No, just with 2 single beds - for another 100 NOK. They had already charged us 1480 NOK for the dirtiest extended single room ever. Where else do you pay 200 USD to sleep in a tiny room full of dust and dirt?

Peaceful but still centrally situated hotel where it's easy to feel at home. I stayed almost a week at the hotel and found that I could sleep with the window open during the night without any disturbing traffic or other noise - wonderful. There is en evening buffet inkluded with a hot meal. I found both the Turkish bath and Finnish sauna very nice. I can highly recomend this hotel for everybody searching for a guiet and nice hotel. The only con I can come up with is that the cleanliness could have been some better. After all I will give the hotel a good score. I have already booked a weekend at the hotel for me and my wife.

Quiet and central location. Evening buffet especially pleasant if you don't enjoy eating out alone in the evening. Narrow single bed, small, but clean rooms. Old Tv.
