Sandvika Holidays from £156

This hotel was well located in the city but a street or two back from the main area meaning it wasn’t too busy or loud. That said, it was still very easy to walk around the city and get to public transport options. The staff were friendly and helpful finding me things to do and translating different options for me. My room was pretty big compared to what I’ve had previously on my trip but was also comfortable and clean. The history of the house was also a main point for me. It was nice to walk around and look at original photos/paintings and see historic documents was pretty cool.

Good restaurants nearby and supermarket. Bed was very soft. Well equipped kitchen some cups were chipped. Some noise from bin area in middle of the night.

The room was nice bed was comfy. As I had a weekend stay the next door building work didn’t impact until the Monday when I was leaving early anyway. Check in wasn’t great I selected arrive now and updated booking instead of waiting around for hour it told me room ready went there someone cleaning next door room told me go wait away I’ve not opened it and won’t for 20 minutes. When I went back to room after this in corridor outside was left a dirty towel and pillowcase from room next door. I raised this with the online chat help at 7pm it was not moved until gone 5 the next day (I raised a few times being told it would sorted asap). This side of the stay the cleanliness in communal spaces and the staff I spoke to let they stay down and are why I’ve dropped stars.
