Location, service and overall experience superb

Friendly staff, always available to help and always with a smile. Genuine people. I thought there was some sort of error when they said “free dinner” (as well as free breakfast and free tea and cake) but it wasn’t.

Good choice for quick stay - downtown Fredrikstad

Great location near downtown Fredrikstad near restaurants and quite close to the train station. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great - lots of variety. Parts of hotel are a little run down in appearance and the lobby is quite small and dark but the room was clean and comfortable for a quick overnight stay.
