Room is not clean!!!
We arrived roughly 5pm the day of checked-in.
And we got our room, it’s not clean and we needed to wait for an hour more for the room to clean. Not even water offer.

Første natten sov vi på et rom over inngangspartiet, med baby. Utover kvelden og natten ble rommet fylt med sigarettrøyk fra andre gjester som røyket ve inngang, ikke så hyggelig med baby eller vinduer man ikke kunne åpne mer enn noen cm når det var 30° ute. Ingen form for AC i varmen og rommene var skikkelig tette (sikkert bra for vinter).
Utdatert men oppdatert resepsjon. Badebasseng er ett pluss.

Sentralt hotell med kort gåavstand til dyrepark.
Lite areal på rommet for en familie på 4.
Dårlig dusjfasilitet da mye vannlekasje på gulv etter dusj. Dårlig ventilasjon i rommet generelt. Rommet virket slitt.

Familie på 5
Rask og hyggelig betjening i resepsjon. Generelt ryddig/rent og gode senger. God frokost hvor de hadde miljøfokus nok til faktisk å gå tom for enkelte ting mot slutten. Det er bra. Bassenget trolig renovert siden vi var her sist. Mye gøy for små og store barn.

Veldig fornøyd!
Hyggelig personale, god mat, fint oppvarmet utebasseng og komfortabel seng. Vårt rom hadde en liten balkong, som var helt supert!
Minuset var tett sluk på badet, som gjorde badekar-opplevelsen en smule mer stressende. Ellers var både barn og voksne fornøyd med både hotell og rom!

Hyggelig betjening, greie rom,men manglet såpe i dusjen. Middagsbuffeten var en skuffelse, overkokte grønnsaker og lite utvalg.
