Fredrikstad Vacations

So many ways this hotel seems nice but...room was very noisy, lifts could take up ages as the system allocates lifts, that at busy times are all full. Gym changing rooms like a hostel. But to cap it all, in a "decent hotel" the lobby toilets, require you to queue at reception to get a code to enter. Never had this in any form of decent hotel before, just seems crazy. Almost a nice experience but the toilets were the final straw.

Very small room. No closet space. No ice machine. No fridge. No one tonassist with check in. No room service cleaning service.

Very well located and convenient to numerous tram lines. Only one stop from the rail station. Very helpful staff. Breakfast buffet is really great ( but coffee could be stronger…) The only real caveat is that the neighborhood gets rather dodgy a block or two to the left from the hotel. (Along Storgata). We walked a few blocks past it to dinner, but opted to take the tram back just to avoid that area at dark.
