Great stay with really nice atmosphere in the middle of Sandnes. Really appreciated the hospitality and the bar/restaurant options. We had an amazing traditional Norwegian meal, best meat cakes I ever tried.

Moottoripyörämatkalla Norjassa
Hotelli ja huone olivat erittäin siistejä. Aamiainen oli runsas ja monipuolinen. Hotellilla ei ole omaa pysäköintialuetta. Hotelli on entinen tiilitehdas, joka on remontoitu kauniisti. Huoneessa oli liian vähän sähköpistorasioita. Pesupalvelu ei ole tarjolla viikonloppuisin.

Ok hotel, men mega lille værelse uden bare en enkel stol- det er ok med små værelser, men dette var for småt. Kunne dårligt komme omkring sengen og ingen plads til kufferter

The hotel looked beautiful. The dining and breakfast areas give nice ancient vibe. The area is very walkable. However, the beds creaked a lot and were not very comfortable

Stemningsfyldt hotel
Virkelig godt hotel. Nyrenoverede værelser. Nemt at finde parkering i nærheden. Man kan mærke, at der er tænkt over indretningen med ting fra det gamle teglværk. Servicen var i top og maden noget af det bedste, vi har fået på vores tur. Vi kommer meget gerne tilbage en anden gang.

Stay away from this place
We had the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. It all started with the unpleasant and arrogant girls when checking in. They were more interested in chatting with each other than actually helping us out. When arriving at the room it was nothing like the pictures. Fairly run down but the location was by far the worst thing about it. We got a room with a night club as a neighbor and they were blasting music until 02.00.
We also had the pleasure of being informed that dogs were allowed and they were for an extra fee of 300:- nok and the parking wasn’t included so that was another 300:-
By the time we went down to eat breakfast we were informed the dogs weren’t allowed there due to people being allergic and when I asked if we could sit in the restaurant instead which was closed during the morning they said no to that as well.
Honestly, we’ve travelled all over the place and this was just a really bad experience all together.
We informed them when we checked out about our concerns and they informed us their manager would call me. Wanna bet that’s not going to happen?
Anyways - stay away. Not worth the money.

Interessant og rimelig overnatting
Interessant hotell med historie. Nær tog og motorvei. Ingen egen parkering, men parkeringsplass i nærheten. God frokost med helt greit utvalg. Gunstig pris.
