Highly Recommended
Amazing Hotel, Staff are very friendly and helpful! Next to the Safari Park, I couldn't visit as I was travelling for business so arrived late and left early for the Airport but will definitely visit again. Amazing for families but I felt very comfortable and welcome as a lone traveller. Very Clean.

Bra
Svært praktisk ifm Dyreparken.
Fint og reint hotel.
God seng gode puter.
Hadde vært fint med mer oppbevarings muligheter, spesielt på bad.
Og ev svaber til få vekk vann fra gulv.

Dyreparken
Personalet var veldig hyggelige og serviceminded.
Eneste minuset var at litt for mange attraksjoner var stengt. Uansett, vi fikk sett alle dyrene!

Anbefaler oppgradering til rom med terrasse
Selve hotellet, servicen, og frokostbuffé var glimrende. Rommet var veldig enkelt, pluss for vannkoker og tv på rommet. Men vi så rett inn til naboene fra vinduet, så vi valgte å trekke for gardinene under hele oppholdet. Minus for utsikt/innsikt og mye støy/lyder fra gjestene rundt oss.

Helt ok men,,,
Syns det er dårlig at frokost ikke er inkludert. Den skulle de ha 300 kr for nesten i tillegg!
