Let´s start with the positives. The hotel´s check-out time is 12:00 and check-in time is 15:00. Since our arrival time is around 10:00 and we are clueless where to go, I informed the customer service that we will get there earlier, and asked if we can already check-in. She couldn´t promised we could, but on our arrival, we got a room prepared for us already. That was awesome!
The standard room was clean, and the design was modern. There´s a flat screen tv, a king sized bed, two side tables, one table lamp and one reading lamp on each side table, a study table with a mini fridge on the side, a sofa chair, and another mini table for snacks. You get free WIFI connection as well. Use your membership number and email to access.
The bath room is also clean, with a soap dispenser for hands, body, and hair (like a 3-in-1 liquid soap), facial tissue, toilet paper, and a hair dryer. Wonderful! (I wish I took a photo, but I forgot!)
Every 15:00, guests get free coffee or tea, and waffles. We had to cook it ourselves, but that´s a no-brainer. This mini-bar is just beside the reception.
The stay includes free breakfast and dinner. This is my favorite part. It´s like an eat-all-you can buffet. And I love the beverage section. It´s so awesome!
In Norway, people eat bread or knekkebrød (it´s a crunchy, flat bread made of corn) with jam, cheese, ham, cucumber, tomato, and the like. They love brewed coffee and milk in the morning. Basically, their dinner is the same, but there´s this meal called middag (literally means ´mid-day´), but that´s when they eat warm food like potatoes, meat, and veggies.
This hotel offers all that. They have so many choices of bread toppers and salads. They also have at least one kind of soup, warm dish, and many types of beverages. I LOVE IT!
The ambiance is super nice--viking motiff. Even the buffet table is shaped like a ship.
Some photos of their interiors below:

Breakfast:
Mon-Fri 06:00-09:00
Sat-Sun 07:00-11:00
Dinner: Everyday 18:00-21:00"
- WC means toilet
The price for the standard room, breakfast, dinner, waffles and free internet is kr 990 per night. It´s not bad for two persons, right? Just think that when you dine out, you spend around 200 krones just for yourself, and with this hotel, you get about 3 meals plus a night´s stay. Definitely an affordable price!
The only thing I didn´t like about this hotel is that it´s so clever to tempt customers by filling the mini fridge with sodas, beer, and they put snacks on the mini table too. We were not informed right away that we have to pay for whatever we take from it. Besides that, I love everything else from this hotel. I would give it 4.5/5.0 rating.
