“Depends on what you expect.”

The hotel has gotten some bad reviews from people going for a luxurious spa weekend. Since I didn’t try neither suites nor spa I don’t know if that’s correct.

The hotel has gotten some bad reviews from people going for a luxurious spa weekend. Since I didn’t try neither suites nor spa I don’t know if that’s correct. But a mid-week stay in one of the hotels small boathouses was a nice experience. The sorroundings here at the confluence of the Drammen and Oslo fjords are beautiful. Outside of the school holidays the small bay is peaceful, sorrounded by the villas and boathouses. Our boathouse was well-kept and clean, with three bedrooms, a living-room/kitchen and two bathrooms. Minus, in common with most Norwegian hotel chains: Get the point that soap in dispensers is environmental friendly, but there surely is no law against using good soap? The hotel in itself is more a straight forward conference hotel than a luxury spa, with a large restaurant and a traditional lunch and breakfast menu. The staff is nice and friendly.

“Not worth it.”

Went here as a guest for a wedding. A double room for me and my partner for one night was 2000 NOK. Including breakfast, entrance to the spa and gym area. I don't see why it was this expensive.

Went here as a guest for a wedding. A double room for me and my partner for one night was 2000 NOK. Including breakfast, entrance to the spa and gym area. I don't see why it was this expensive. The rooms were not more than ok standard. As a couple, it was a downer that the "double" bed consisted of two beds next to each other, so we had to sleep with a wooden, hard divide between us. Entrance to the spa area, if you don't stay there is 545 NOK, so we had high hopes for this area. The spa had a small pool with normal swimming pool temperature, two bubble baths (one inside and one outside), that was noting more than simple, small bubble baths. It also has a steam room and a sauna. They have couches you can sit in, water dispensers and a nice view, but nothing else a normal swimming pool won't offer you for a 5th of the price. I was expecting way more fancy bubble baths and water massage chairs, but I was disappointed. The breakfast was nothing more than an absolute minimum of what you would expect of a hotel breakfast in this price range. The wedding was beautiful and worth attending, but I would not pay 2000 NOK to stay here another night. I have not tried any of their spa experiences and treatments, so can't say anything about those.
