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.

Sødeste dame gav kaffe til hjemturen.
Mulighed for at se ud på noget var der ikke fra rummet andet end en grøn væg.
Ekstra gebyr da vi kom til morgenmad. Blæser til aircondition larmende hele natten
To slags musik oven i hinanden ved maden i restauranten. Sødeste dame gav kaffe til hjemturen

Flott beliggenhet, rom mangler lagringsmuligheter
Perfekt beliggenhet for dyreparken, lite rom uten muligheter til å legge fra seg klær, bare noen få knagger for jakker. Fint og rent og god frokost.

Dyreparken
Personalet var veldig hyggelige og serviceminded.
Eneste minuset var at litt for mange attraksjoner var stengt. Uansett, vi fikk sett alle dyrene!

Anbefaler oppgradering til rom med terrasse
Selve hotellet, servicen, og frokostbuffé var glimrende. Rommet var veldig enkelt, pluss for vannkoker og tv på rommet. Men vi så rett inn til naboene fra vinduet, så vi valgte å trekke for gardinene under hele oppholdet. Minus for utsikt/innsikt og mye støy/lyder fra gjestene rundt oss.
