It's close to the railway station (but you do not hear the trains passing so that is good). and based as centrally as you can ask for in Kongsberg.

The rooms vary quite a lot and I would make sure to ask for one of the newest rooms. The rooms in themselves are quite spacy and the beds are comfortable. The cleanliness vary quite much from stay to stay, but the staff is always friendly and helpful.

However the internet facilities are awful and thankfully they know that as well and are trying to improve it. But currently you should not plan to get much work done other than e-mail. Contacting your companys server is painful and you will not get much work done.

Breakfast is small but has everything you need.

Location:
The hotel is right in front of the bus station and train station, and is a 5 minute walk to the centre of town (the main shopping and restaurant street).

Hotel Room:
I stayed in a room on the ground floor. It was quite spacious with a view of the side street. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that the bathroom floor tiles were heated. Of course this was the norm for northern european countries who experience cold winters. Temperatures during my stay were between -5 and 6 degC, and the hotel was kept at a very comfortable temperature. The bed was comfortable, and the doona which just fit the top of the bed was warm enough during the nights. The TV is CRT and clarity is ok.

Food:
I only ate breakfast at the hotel - there was the typical continental breakfast items, and loads of bread and delicious cheese. I recommend trying the brown cheese! Hot food was bacon and scrambled eggs. Note: If you arrive on a Sunday, the restaurant is closed (for dinner) and you will need to find a nearby restaurant for food.

Service:
The staff at the front desk were all extremely helpful and friendly. They gave good advice on where to eat, where to find a prepaid SIM and laptop charger, and what to do after-hours including tips on skiing.

Overall:
I will definitely consider staying here again, even though there is only a choice of 3 hotels (I know of) here in Kongsberg.

The bed spread was smaller than the beds but fairly comfortable after you learn how to stay under the covers. Didn't eat, drank little and the help was fabulous.

Great comfortable hotel. Nice and relaxed. Right across the street from the railway station

Huge room in the annexe at the back. Not much view, but a nice big bathroom, comfy double bed and sofa (which may have converted into another bed. Very minimalistic room , tastefully decorated. No clutter (you know, leaflets, brochures, and all that other nonsense you never look at in a hotel), just a simple concise folder with hotel and local information

Breakfast buffet .

Price was probably par for the course in Norway, but this included internet access.

Kongsberg is a pretty wee place. Nice walks along the river and plenty of restaurants around

Special thanks to Bridget (I think) who went out of her way to help with changed travel plans at short notice
