Despite a cool reception at front desk, I would return to this hotel. Checking-in, the young lady let us stand in front of her without speaking to or acknowledging us. After a minute we asked if check-in was around the corner. She didn’t welcome us, instead said check-in was at 3pm but we could leave our bags behind the counter. Later she took our dinner reservation and likely forgot to reserve a table as the evening restaurant staff didn’t appear to expect us. The person who checked us in was friendlier welcoming us to “this old hotel” she was jovial. I would return because of location and local attractions in the vicinity of Gamla Værket.

Supert hotell, midt i sentrum, god frokost og gode senger..men vi hadde et ganske lite rom. Historisk hotell, derfor gammelt, men fint og koselig. Rommet vårt såg helt nytt ut.

Hotelli ja huone olivat erittäin siistejä. Aamiainen oli runsas ja monipuolinen. Hotellilla ei ole omaa pysäköintialuetta. Hotelli on entinen tiilitehdas, joka on remontoitu kauniisti. Huoneessa oli liian vähän sähköpistorasioita. Pesupalvelu ei ole tarjolla viikonloppuisin.
