Ett förmånligt boende, mattan i trappan och korridoren kunde fräschas till. Gardinen i mitt rum var trasig så kunde inte få helt mörkt. Bra säng, kylskåp och gratis parkering.

7.8/10 Good! (289 reviews)
Unfortunately the twin bed rooms that I’ve booked are overbooked and received a single bed room. Staff couldn’t do much as it was a system error or so they say. But they were apologetic and honestly I’m not in Norway for a double bed if it matters. But yeah could have a double bed since I paid for one. Anyways. Soundproof seems lacking as there was some guy blasting deep house music from his BMW at 3 AM from the street across. Ravaging through the bins for an hour before going off. Room shacked with the bass too. How did I know it’s that guy? I was awakened. Anyways. Toilet shower is pretty tiny and narrow, like the road to hamningberg. Clean room and good breakfast as always. Parking was full and staff gave me a VIP space at the lobby. How nice. Mixed experience fortunately or unfortunately.
