Highly Recommended

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.

Helt ok standard men ikke noe mer.

Litt rart bad da det ble oversvømt ved dusjing. Flate oppbrukte fjærputer burde vert fiberputer grunnet allergi. Sengen var ok men ikke opptimal.

Gjennomsnittlig norsk = dyrt og litt kjipt

Mye penger for lite rom uten frokost eller annet inkludert. Veldig hyggelig personale, men litt kjipt at man ikke får mer for pengene.

Hotellet er ganske slitt, dårlig renhold i oppholdsrom og trapper/ganger. Vi kom til rent rom, men ekstra-køyen var det brukt sengetøy på. Vi var i resepsjonen og sa ifra 3 ganger, ble byttet 22.30, litt sent å legge en treåring, da… Frokosten var helt grei, men dyr. Middagsbuffet var også helt grei. Mulig vi vurderer å bo et annet sted neste gang vi skal i dyreparken.
