Port of Drammen

The first room we were assigned had a faulty lock, and we were given a far more spacious room. The first we'd been given would have been tight. The light was great, and some might have minded the streetcar rumble, but it didn't go late into the night. The one radiator in the room tried hard, but it was quite chilly, though the duvets were adequate for the cold. My daughter, in a second room, noted blood on pillows, a marker for a bedbug infestation, but none appeared to be resident during our 3 night stay. Excellent sized elevator handled 3 and ample luggage, quite out of the ordinary. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. A comfortable lounge on the main floor where you could linger without pressure to buy drinks - romantically lit, so bring your booklight. Steps away from good Indian and Italian restaurants, the hourly airport bus, and all sorts of public transportation. Very close to palace and gardens.

One of the best central City based hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Everything from staff to condition of rooms was immaculate! Make sure to visit the bar downstairs and get a cocktail as well.

It was walkable distance to museums I wanted to visit, like the Norskfolkmuseum. Also a short walk to the Royal Palace, and Aker Brygge. I felt that it was overpriced compared to the room quality. That being said, the staff was excellent and helpful. No fault of theirs that Norway was an expensive travel destination, but I am very happy to have gone. If I went back I would definitely find the cheapest accommodation I could because I feel nothing was gained for having stayed in this room over any other.
