Pros:

Godt bevart eldre hotell lokalisert midt i sentrum av Sandefjord.

Cons:

Rom med vindu rett over der noen røykte.
At ingen av personalet hilste og feks spurte om vi hadde sovet godt etc og ikke viste oss til frokostsalen.
I frokostsalen var det et relativt godt utvalg av mat og drikke men dessverre mangelfullt og noe feil merket.

Koselig og komfortabelt, men litt slitt.
Pros:

Komfortabel seng og godt med plass på selve rommet. Men badet hadde virkelig trengt en aldri så liten oppussing. Når skapdøren under vasken er teipet med gaffateip for å holde hele greia sammen, da er det vel på tide å gjøre noe.

Unclean. Best look elsewhere.
Pros:

5 mins walk from train station.or water front

Cons:

When i moved sheet/duvet there were insects ( silverfish) running around on base sheet which had to be caught & killed.
I should have refused the room and returned with my heavy bags to Reception.But at aged 83 i was given a room up 3 or more flights of stairs and many rambling corridors.and the furthest from Reception.. It overlooked a carpark, road, not a pretty sight!

I was relived there was not a fire. Norway clearly has different fire escape regulations than the rest of Europe.
Staff repeatedly tried to sell a taxi to airport when I asked about trains.Luckily I later discovered there was a very fast and inexpensive train.
Vastly overpriced at £108 for one night bed.
