Convenient Location near Food Hall

good breakfastconvenient locationeasy accesslimited temperature range
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.

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 staffexcellent locationspacious showernon-working lamps
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 reminded me of 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.

I especially loved the variety of options and the freshness of the food available, The staff made it easy to access the pedestrian path beside the river for my morning runs.
My room was slightly less modern than I anticipated. I feel it could use a few updates.
