The location of the property was really great - we could walk to everything we wanted to see. Unfortunately we had to park a few blocks away from the hotel but that was really the only downside. The room was very spacious and the front desk staff was very nice and helpful.

Great hotel. Right near so many restaurants, stores, markets, and bowling. The hotel’s breakfast buffet was absolutely amazing. My husband is a vegetarian and they had fruit, vegetables, tons of varieties of granola and breads. It was the perfect start to our day!

Parking was full so despite being disabled we had to unload at the door and park offsite at extra cost. Pet rooms weren’t available but we were given a room on the top floor. We had a small balcony so were able to leave that open to keep room cool. We had a fridge, good beds and pillows.

Koselig hotell og frokost har god tid fra tidlig morgen til ganske sent i helgen. Dessverre Hotel har ikke egen treningsrom men har avtalen med en studio. Parkering i kjelleren er trang. Den må forhåndsbestilles. Alt i alt koselig sentralt hotell.

Greit hotell midt i byen

Bodde på tre mannsrom. God plass, rent rom, hyggelig betjening. God frokost. Var noen vifter på taket utenfor rommet som ga veldig lyd. Våknet noen ganger i løpet av natten av dette alle tre. Ga beskjed i resepsjonen, men hotell var fullt.

Besøk Fredrikstad 🙂👍

Sørvis og personal var veldig bra. Ellers var det litt trangt mellom seng og veg. Og badet var også litt trangt. Savnet kjøleskap og klesskap. Men ingen krise for vår del. Takk for oss.
