This was a fairly nice stay for a couple of nights. The hotel staff is very friendly and the breakfast was good. The rooms and the building itself definitely need some updates. Thankfully we were on the 5th floor because the 1st and 2nd floors smelled of cigarette smoke due to a lot of people smoking outside.

Our party of 3 booked two separate rooms, but were given a single room with a fold-out sofa. Front desk staff could not resolve it, and we're awaiting a reaponse from the hotel. They also had no record of the guest who tried checking-in right before us. He had to provide his paperwork as proof of the reservation.

Veldig hyggelig og serviceinnstilt personale, fine rom, grei frokost og beliggenhet med nærhet til det meste.. men MYE bråk! Både fra andre rom, og vi ble holdt våkne halve natta pga støy fra nærliggende utesteder. Dette gav seg riktignok nærmere 0330, så om du er blant de som vanligvis ikke sover på dette tidspunktet - er dette hotellet perfekt for deg.

Veldig hyggelig respesjonist. Hyggelig innsjekk og utsjekk. Bestilte allergirom og fikk det! Rommet var fint, men det var ikke helt rent på gulvet. Det største problemet var at det ikke gikk an å åpne vinduet. Jeg bestilte ikke frokost, så den kan jeg ikke rangere.
