Prima voor een tussenstop.
Pros:

Meest uitgebreide ontbijt van de hele rondreis door Noorwegen. Het hotel heeft sfeer.

Cons:

Enorme vlekken in de vloerbedekking in de kamer, plekken op de muur van koffers. Dat oogt niet fris, is ook een kleine moeite om dat op te frissen. Gordijn hing op half 7, een haakje was afgebroken. Ook dit is een easy fix. Het zijn dit soort kleine dingen die een eerste indruk kunnen bepalen. De aanwezigheid van een zwembad is fijn maar dan moet je het wel netjes bijhouden! Tijdens het trekken van mijn baantjes zag ik door mijn zwembrilletje ineens een enorme dot lange, blonde haren op me afkomen. Dat dreef onder water. Ik was meteen klaar met zwemmen…
