Très déçu
Pros:

Le décor à l’extérieur et la salle du petit déjeuné est vraiment sympa

Cons:

Les couleurs, les chambres ne sont pas du tout dans le thème, on s’en doutait vu les photos mais chambre très (trop) petite. Idéal pour une personne mais 2 on se marche dessus. Espace hot tub pas très propre. la dame de ménage était très souriante et une dame à l’accueil aussi mais sinon l’accueil n’est pas top. Odeur dans la chambre horrible. Il y a des affiches qui préviennent en expliquant que cela provient de l’odeur de souffre de l’eau mais odeur tres prenante et vraiment désagréable dans la chambre toute petite. La salle du petit dej est dans l’ambiance mais la grande télé avec les informations sur la guerre actuelle dans le monde ne permet pas de rester dans l’ambiance Viking. Pas de peignoir dispo pour accéder au hot tub malgré les affiches indiquant le contraire. Très déçu

Tired
Pros:

Staff were really nice and did what they could to welcome us.
Attached restaurant was really good.
Decor is fascinating, the Viking theme rocks.
There is an outside hot tub and sauna.

Cons:

Didn't get the room we'd booked but we were given a valid reason. The room we did get was advertised as a better room but it was very tired, as was all of that part of the hotel. There is a large expansion project going on, hopefully they will be much more up to date.
Walls were thin,we could hear the first next door snoring.
Bathroom had mould in the shower.
Only hand soap, no toiletries, this isn't an expensive fix and it's the only hotel I've used in years not to have shampoo, conditioner and shower gel available.
Breakfast was basic but in line with the budget hotel price.

Pros:

Rommet var stort og det var ei dobbelseng ( ikkje 2 enkelsenger som er satt sammen). Mye oppbevaringsplass til klær mm.
