Bra service
Pros:

Nærme flyplassen siden skulle reise kl06 med fly. Ble også flyttet til en del av hotellet som var stille siden jeg ville sove. Skulle reise et helt døgn neste dag. Bra service.

Pros:

De kamer is behoorlijk ruim en heeft een goed bed! Men kan tot 20.30 uur dineren. Eten is ook goed.
Personeel is bijzonder behulpzaam.
Parkeren: opgelet deze is betaalplichtig echter even aangeven bij de receptie dat je met de auto bent dan wordt deze geregistreerd en is het gratis parkeren.

Adequate but be aware of the additional car parking charge
Pros:

The location is close to airport and main motorway

Cons:

If travelling by car there is no alternative but to park in the hotel car park. This adds 200NOK to the cost of an overnight stay, even off-season. I selected the hotel purely on price so if I had know this I would have stayed elsewhere.

Bra frokost, gode senger, stort rom, bra beliggenhet. Flott hotell og nydelig hotellområde.

Vasken på badet - den kunne trengt vedlikehold. Vannet spruter over alt.
