The room was very cold (i have to turn on the heater which took long time to get warmed) The most beautiful thing were no hot water to take a bath. Very funny that no body informed me at the reception and when i got in contact with expedia custoner service , they informed me that ( The hotel chef is available on the morning at 8am to discuss with me the problem) Why? how he /she could know that i am available next day? Maybe i have early check out. They are not hospitality people.They are just making business. NOT Recomended.
They even did not fix the hot water the whole night. It was horriable experiance. It worth 200 norwegian krones for one night. Not more than that.

Stanza piccolissima per due persone, inadatta. Va bene per una persona, non di più. Stanca pulita, diciamo che il dover chiedere il phon e doverlo portare la sera stessa non è proprio il massimo

Recht weit außerhalb vom Stadtzentrum. Aber nahe eines Einkaufszentrums. Zum Zeitpunkt meiner Reise sehr viele Baustellen um das Hotel.

+ Rent och fräsch hotellrum.
+ Gratis parkering
+ Trevlig personal
+ Snabb och smidig incheckning.
+ Lagom stor och god frukost.
- Hotellrummet var väldigt litet. Jag en fullvuxen man fick INTE plats i duschen.
- Frukost ingick ej utan krävde köp.
Jag ger hotellet ett överlag bra betyg, fyra av fem stjärnor. Det uppfyllde vårat behov efter tolv timmar i bil från Örebro i Sverige.

Skulle bare ha en billig hotell-overnatting og mulighet for å dusje før flyreise tidlig på morgenen.
Desverre mye bråk på utsiden så nattesøvnen ble litt amputert.
