Property was under renovation while I was there but still an excellent stay. And what could be better than right next door to a zoo, an adventure park, and a singing pirate ship that goes right past your room if you get one overlooking the water! I had a great time. The breakfast is also wonderful!

Helt ok standard men ikke noe mer.

Litt rart bad da det ble oversvømt ved dusjing. Flate oppbrukte fjærputer burde vert fiberputer grunnet allergi. Sengen var ok men ikke opptimal.

Gjennomsnittlig norsk = dyrt og litt kjipt

Mye penger for lite rom uten frokost eller annet inkludert. Veldig hyggelig personale, men litt kjipt at man ikke får mer for pengene.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at. So many kids were running, spanking doors and screaming. w We could hear reception and the kitchen and everything outside, including what appeared to be a loading dock. People were smoking right outside so we had to close our window but because there was no temperature control we slept with ice. Iasked a our the noise abd they saix there is nothing they can do until 11pm when quiet hours started. The kitchen/ loading dock stayed at 6 am leaving little time to sleep. We used noise canceling headphones but they barely took the edge off the noise At a minimum they should not rent the room we were in but guessing since they didn't offer to move us the entire hotel needs better sound proofing.

Fint rom. Vi hadde vindu ut til en felles terasse så det var noen gang vanskelig å få luftet skikkelig og så savnet vi en stol å sitte i på rommet. Ellers var det bra. Veldig hyggelige ansatte.

Anbefales.

Hyggelig hotell og praktisk ifht Dyreparken. De ansatte var hyggelig, møtte ingen som ikje var trivelige. Frokosten en en av de beste vi har fått på hotell!!!! Eneste jeg vil anbefale er å sjekke størrelse på rommet ifht hvor mange dere er. Ble kanskje litt trangt, men fikk vel egentlig det vi betalte for.

Fint familiehotell rett ved Dyreparken

Hyggelig hotell rett ved inngangen til Dyreparken. Fine rom, fikk balkongrom med sjøutsikt men måtte ringe for å få det bekreftet. Får ikke valgt den romtypen spesifikt på Hotels tror jeg. Med sjøutsikt ser vi skipet seile frem og til ake flere ganger om dagen, veldig gøy for barna. Familie på fire på et rom var trangt, dobbeltsengen og sovesofaen har såvidt plass til å gå rundt. Vi var der i juni, hvor det ikke er spisesteder åpne etter kl 18 i parken med unntak av pizza og buffet-restaurant i Abra Havn. På hotellet er det kun full middagsbuffet å få, så man må evt kjøre litt for å spise annen middag eller handle noe. Hotellfrokosten koster ekstra, men var bra. Lite alternativer til frokost i parken før kl 11/12 i juni. Middagsbuffeten var også ganske bra, men valgte annen middag to av tre dager.

Hotellet er ganske slitt, dårlig renhold i oppholdsrom og trapper/ganger. Vi kom til rent rom, men ekstra-køyen var det brukt sengetøy på. Vi var i resepsjonen og sa ifra 3 ganger, ble byttet 22.30, litt sent å legge en treåring, da… Frokosten var helt grei, men dyr. Middagsbuffet var også helt grei. Mulig vi vurderer å bo et annet sted neste gang vi skal i dyreparken.
