Amazing Hotel, Staff are very friendly and helpful! Next to the Safari Park, I couldn't visit as I was travelling for business so arrived late and left early for the Airport but will definitely visit again. Amazing for families but I felt very comfortable and welcome as a lone traveller. Very Clean.

The staff was friendly and quick, but the hotel entrance was hard to find in the dark because it was moved and there inadequate lighting and signage. The room was clean, but it was TINY and had no room for our suitcases. The bed was also and old spring mattress that sagged in the middle. We stayed only one night because it was close to the airport, so it was bearable but I will not return.

Gjennomsnittlig norsk = dyrt og litt kjipt

Mye penger for lite rom uten frokost eller annet inkludert. Veldig hyggelig personale, men litt kjipt at man ikke får mer for pengene.

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The convenience to Dyreparken cannot be beat! We had all of our breakfasts and dinners at the hotel and were not disappointed. The table agreed that that their coffee machine is great! We even had a emergency happen while at the hotel with our two year old getting injured while at the hotel (not the hotel's fault, just an accident) and the hotel staff was amazing! Many people on staff jumped in to help along the way, and two of them even offered to drive me and my son to the emergency room since my husband was away from the hotel at the time. When we got back to the hotel after my son getting a few stitches the dinner staff checked in on us again and made sure everything was okay. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff! Regarding the rooms, they have everything you need. The bunkbed rooms are more fun because they are more themed, but we had no issues with cleanliness, or anything like that. Would definitely recommend staying here, and will be back again again some time in the future.

Helt supert hotell og helt perfekt beliggenhet til Dyreparken. Det eneste jeg savnet var en «vanlig» restaurant med vanlige middagsretter og litt småretter. Litt mye fast food i dyreparken, så hadde vært fint med litt «vanlig mat». Det fantes middagsbuffet, men denne ble for dyr og for låst for oss. Ellers strålende fornøyd og bor der gjerne igjen!

Vil først bemerke at det ikke var byttet sengetøy på sovesofaen ved ankomst. Dette la jeg først merke til sent på kvelden. Sengetøyet var skittent, og lakenet var fullt av hår fra tidligere gjester. Ble byttet etter at det ble gitt beskjed om dagen etter. Rommet i seg selv var bra, men savner kjøleskap på rommet. For øvrig et fint hotell som inneholder det meste man trenger, og enkel tilgang til Dyreparken fra hotellet.

Bra utvalg på frokosten for både barn og voksne. Sist gang jeg var der, het det Noas ark og så helt annerledes ut, så det var en total annen opplevelse både inni og utenpå, bare baksiden var den samme. Veldig bra oppgradering, men likte det forrige navnet bedre. Flott rom med stor balkong, noe bråk fra motorveien, men ikke plagsomt
