Reviews
Amazing Hotel, Staff are very friendly and helpful! Next to the Safari Park, I couldn't visit as I was travelling for business so arrived late and left early for the Airport but will definitely visit again. Amazing for families but I felt very comfortable and welcome as a lone traveller. Very Clean.
Det var kjempe gøy,rommet var også perfekt.
Det eneste jeg har og si er at kanskje dere bør satse på halal mat til muslimer som skal overnatte der.😀😀
Otherwise I lived the location as you are just next door to Dyreparken entrance and it has its perks. Enjoy the some animals sleep (zebras, ostriches, jirafes, okapies) as they mingle at the yard next to the hotels entrance.
Buffet very accomodating. Restaurant and bar have a nice bive. And souvenir store has lots to offer.
Book in advance and plan to enjoy several days as it is quite Disney style ;)
