You have to pay for breakfast. And you have to for the parking, they did not info us parking at hotel is not free. 10 minutes walking away there is parking cost 32kr for 24 h, as hotel charge for 150kr. If you are staying long, recommend the kommune parking.

An exceptional hotel. Fantastic value, wonderful ambience but, most importantly, truly professional, friendly and committed staff - they are outstanding! Ieva, Elisabeth, Paulina and the team cannot be faulted, they provide exceptional service and definitely deliver a “home from home” experience.

Worst bathroom / Best breakfast

10 day visit around Norway staying in different places. Worst bathroom on trip. Shower was not built in, with only a shower curtain, which did not prevent water flooding the bathroom. Best breakfast on trip. The buffet was excellent, with a good variety of hot and cold food. Good, central location and relaxed atmosphere

Problems and complains when we tried to check in with a dog even if it’s a pet friendly hotel. Worst service, worst facilities, no amenities for kids. Night before we stayed in Scandic Helsingborg and the experience was fantastic!! So we were expecting same here. Breakfast in Sarpsborg was good, small place but good food and ok selection. Personal was really helpful!!

Fullständigt besviken på skandinavisk hotell

Väldigt slitet rum. Ingen kyl, ingen AC. Madrasser flyger från sängen varje gång man vrider sig. Rummet är grått, får betong känsla. Toa hade varken lås eller krukor för hänga kläder.

Rigtig flot og stort værelse. Ærgerligt, at der ikke var rullet for vinduerne, så værelset var 32grader varmt, da Vi ankom kl 17 og det var ikke muligt, at køle værelset ned. Udover dette var morgenmaden lækker og god service

Fikk bestilt enkelt og greit på nett, resepsjonen fant ikke ut av betalingen. Det var fint å ta opp vinduer men det var altfor varmt. God frokost men dårlig med plass når vi kom ned. Dårlig med parkering ved hotellet.
