Great stay. The staff are fantastic.

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible breakfest- lax, herring, delicious cheeses, and the standard breakfast items - eggs, yogurt, bacon, etc. perhaps the best breakfast offerings of all the hotels we stayed at.
Ruth, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always friendly and welcoming staff. Modern feel overall, and a wonderful breakfast buffet. Stayed many times, and will surely return.

2/10 Poor

The Property was very nice as always I stayed. However Im very extremely disappointed with Expedia, just because the price for the room Was extremely expensive for what I paid Compared with the price for the Hotel Im and expedia member for so long Im an Scandic member as well and was really extremely expensive and therefore with out breakfast which the hotel always includes Very bad from Expidia

Veldig bra frukost, SATS treningssenter i huset som var gratis for gjester. Husk legitimasjon for barn. Beliggenhet er toppen. Bra familierom med køyeseng. Sengene var for harde for vår smak og dynene var litt for tunge.

Veldig sentralt og fint hotell. God frokost og stille om natten. Veldig fint at vinduene kan åpnes.
Karianne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rommet var rent og greitt, men manglet fullstendig det som gjør det verdig til stjerner. Manglet vannkoker med te og kaffemuligheter. Interiøret minnet om lagerhall med rør etc. Mulig det skulle være spes design, men for oss total bom

Spacious room, friendly staff, and solid breakfast

I stayed at this hotel for one day and was met with very friendly staff. The room was large and nice, but unfortunately the AC didn’t work properly – even with a note saying it was slow, the temperature only dropped by 0.2°C over two hours, and the room stayed uncomfortably warm. Apart from that, everything else was great. A big plus was their cooperation with SATS next door, which you could access directly through the building – perfect for getting a proper workout even while traveling. The breakfast buffet also had a wide selection, and there was nothing to complain about there.
