Friendly staff, comfortable room. It was Good Friday with the hotel packed with families. Breakfast felt so rushed, don’t understand why it didn’t follow weekend schedule as it was a holiday. From food to glasses, all needed to be constantly replenished, unfortunately not fast enough even though the staff tried. It felt disorganized and overwhelming to the staff.

Nice room, subpar experience

Nice room in good area. When we arrived we were puzzled by there being a towel on the toilet. We later realised that this towel was ment for the sink (which was leaking). There was no handsoap in the dispenser nor in the shower. Bathroom fan was loud and was not possible to turn off.

Never again

Got in at 23:15, checking in, agreed to put the car in the car park, receptionist didn't know how to pay for parking, so told us to do an it in the morning at reception. 690 NKR ticket in the window, and even though it is a private gated parking, the arrogant receptionists did nothing to help or resolve the situation. Completely useless. Never that hotel again, I travel 180 days yearly, and this hit a new bottom level
