Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Practical hotel room for a small price, nice bed and the breakfast buffet was very good. Staff is friendly and helpful. You won't find the hotel in the main street, its on a side street so make sure to double check your map because there are plenty hotels in the area.
NorwayThis hotel is exactly what it promised to be. Clean, well located, friendly, and an excellent value for the money. Think of it as a three star out of five hotel. If you want fancier, pay up!
