Middels hotell med ikke så dyktig personale, oppfattet spesielt én som frekk.
Pros:

At det var sentralt

Cons:

Personalet i resepsjonen gjorde flere feil og satte meg i en ubehagelig situasjon.

Bra og rimelig hotell midt i sentrum
Pros:

Beliggenheten er steinkast fra Stortinget og kollektivknutepunkt er ideelt.

Cons:

Jeg synes det er ok med små rom, men mange vil kanskje ha litt mer plass.
