Reviews
However, on the first day when I arrived at the hotel, there was a Black woman with glasses at the reception. She was neither polite nor friendly.
This Black woman with the glasses at the reception ruined my vacation. I went on vacation, but this woman at the reception really ruined it.
There were hairs on the bed, and even though I showed her photos, she refused to accept that the room was not clean.
But after speaking with the manager, he changed my room and gave me a larger one with breakfast included.
Thanks for the boss of hotel
Servicevennlig og hyggelig personale.
God frokost. Koselig bar. Litt kjedelig rstaurantmeny.
Overall, it exceeded my expectations and I had a great accommodation and sleep for 2 days.
The location is also great near so many points of transportation with plenty of taxis outside, restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets around.
The reception staff is professional and polite. She answered all my queries promptly with smiles. When I asked her for restaurant recommendations, she asked the kind of food I like and recommend a couple of restaurants to me.
The room is clean and tidy, with no obvious shortcomings. The breakfast served by the hotel impressed me. There are a large selection of food and fruits.
I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to my friends
