Convenient Location near Food Hall

good breakfast convenient location easy access
I found the breakfast to be quite good, especially with local specialties. The hotel's location is convenient, close to a bus stop. The city center is easily accessible too. I appreciated proximity to a food hall and other dining options.
I found that the room could have been cooler. The temperature could not be adjusted below 22 degrees celsius. I think guests should have a wider temperature range.

great location nearby park excellent breakfast
this location is seriously great. i found a food hall right outside and some ramen places i did liked. there was even a park nearby so that did worked well. breakfast was indeed a highlight with many options i enjoyed a lot.
the hotel i did find a little bit away from the main train station. a cab ride did cost 300 nok so that's something to keep in mind.

A Wonderful Stay with a Few Minor Hitches

friendly staff excellent location spacious shower
The reception staff were friendly. Mathallen and the city center are both nearby. A bus route close by provided easy access to transportation. Showers and bathrooms are quite spacious. I appreciated the cleanliness, decor, and general comfort, it seemed like home. I found the location quite convenient.
My room, situated in a corner at the back of the building, gave me a view directly into a wall and the hallway. Some lamps did not work. This was an issue for me.
