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!

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.

I had a lovely overnight stay before going to the airport. The desk arranged a taxi for me and everything about the service at the desk and the hotel overall was 10/10 I will be recommending this hotel to all my friends. Thank you all.

10/10 Exceptional

This is my second time staying at this hotel. The convenience to Dyreparken cannot be beat! We had all of our breakfasts and dinners at the hotel and were not disappointed. The table agreed that that their coffee machine is great! We even had a emergency happen while at the hotel with our two year old getting injured while at the hotel (not the hotel's fault, just an accident) and the hotel staff was amazing! Many people on staff jumped in to help along the way, and two of them even offered to drive me and my son to the emergency room since my husband was away from the hotel at the time. When we got back to the hotel after my son getting a few stitches the dinner staff checked in on us again and made sure everything was okay. I cannot say enough nice things about the staff! Regarding the rooms, they have everything you need. The bunkbed rooms are more fun because they are more themed, but we had no issues with cleanliness, or anything like that. Would definitely recommend staying here, and will be back again again some time in the future.

4/10 Fair

The staff was friendly and quick, but the hotel entrance was hard to find in the dark because it was moved and there inadequate lighting and signage. The room was clean, but it was TINY and had no room for our suitcases. The bed was also and old spring mattress that sagged in the middle. We stayed only one night because it was close to the airport, so it was bearable but I will not return.

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.

2/10 Poor

The aircondition blew icy wind, and when I went down and asked the persons working there, they tried to reduce the aircondition, but nothing happened. The room was so cold that I set the stove up to max, that means 30 degrees…..

To be completely honest. I don't think the bunk bed is apropriate and safe for kids above 9 years old. Unless they have a small complexion. My 13 year old had half of his legs out. And I was too afraid for my 8 year old to turn around and fall from the higher bunk bed level in the middle.of the night. Otherwise I lived the location as you are just next door to Dyreparken entrance and it has its perks. Enjoy the some animals sleep (zebras, ostriches, jirafes, okapies) as they mingle at the yard next to the hotels entrance. Buffet very accomodating. Restaurant and bar have a nice bive. And souvenir store has lots to offer. Book in advance and plan to enjoy several days as it is quite Disney style ;)
