Ok

Fantastisk beliggenhet, veldig liten plass på rommet. Egnet til en koffert og sove. Frokostsalen har alt for liten plass, måtte vente i uorganisert kø på bord, her var det førstemann til mølla når et bord ble ledig kl 09.

Helt ok, greit for en person, litt stress med to

Veldig lite rom. Virker som om det er brukt til enkeltrom. Bare et nattbord. Lite steder å sette tingene sine på. Kun stikkontakter på en side av sengen.

Lite rom

Rommet var mye mindre enn på bildet og hadde ikke kjøleskap engang
Sine Emilie Holtet, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Helt ok.

Oppholdet var greit, men det var dårlig ventilasjon og veldig varmt på rommet uten mulighet for å justere temeperatur (ref resepsjonen). Vindu gikk å åpne, men som et sentrumhotel med karaoke bar i nabobygg så var det veldig mye støy - selv med lukket vindu. Trangt bad, ca 30-40 cm åpning inn til dusjen. Litt dårlig vedlikehold på rommet jeg var på, plater på sengen hadde ramlet av på gulvet og det var tydelig ikke vasket under seng i de rommene (som normalt skulle være dekket av en dekorplate), beslag foran dør var knekt av og det så ut som noen på et tidspunkt hadde måtte brukt makt/brekkjern for å komme inn på rommet. Helt ok for sentrums hotel.
