Bardzo dobry hotel. Serdecznie polecam 🙂

Pros: Great staff, nice concept with meals included, and an excellent location. Cons: Poor gym with no working AC (which is also missing in my room). The neighborhood is quite noisy. The work desk is super small, and the internet connection is slow.

Don't be fooled as I was, this is not a historic hotel. The lobby is in a 1990s building and is nice, but otherwise the hotel is a bland, below average 1990s hotel despite the nice pictures they show on the booking site. Only part of their hotel is in an old building. I had requested a room in this part, but the lobby attendant said she was unable to change my room to the historic attic room I had seen and booked on Expedia. My bedroom was renovated, but the bathroom was quite disgusting with broken tiles, stains, hair on the floor, and 'fluids' on the bathroom floor that had not been cleaned. My worst hotel experience in Norway, and definitely my worst experience with the Strawberry chain of which I am a member. You should do better, Strawberry.

Loved staying here for the second time!

Breakfast was excellent evening meal was good

The breakfast and dinner buffet was absolutely amazing. Very friendly staff.

Lived this hotel. Breakfast and dinner were wonderful. It’s nestled in between a great coffee shop and restaurant as well.

This property was beautiful, especially being right on the water. The staff was extremely kind and helpful! The dinning room’s food was absolutely delicious! Downtown had a lot of empty store fronts, but overall, a very beautiful center.

I was comfortable and well fed. It was like Thanksgiving without the relatives. waffle hour is now my favorite hour. *Chef's kiss

Staff was fantastic. Food was great and there was a huge selection of choices. I will definitely be coming back😀

Lovely convenient location. Food was good. Service staff friendly and helpful

We had a lovely two nights stay and were very impressed with the quality and quantity of food included in the price. We definitely did not go hungry. The room and facilities were very good with lovely white bedding etc. Everyone was very nice and helpful which made our stay great.

Non-existent service, zero politeness. No greeting when we came in - no asking how our stay was on check out. When I complained that we didn’t sleep all night due to a BROKEN bed, I got zero apologies or compensation. All she said is she would pass on the message, like this is something a guest cares about. Unfortunately this is the only half decent option in Skien if you really need a place to sleep.

Friendly staff, very good bed. breakfast from 8 to 11 am. nice selction, with from fish , boiled eggs, scarabled eggs and bacon to cheese and red pepper. frankly i only noticed the salt and peper then i was done eating, asthe scrabled eggs as normal at hotels is more or less non existing, and i like a bit peppers and salt on it, but even with out it was fairly ok , as i added bacon so it got some flamour.

Comfortable hotel near Skien centre. Free dinner is a big plus! Free parking near the caravan parking. Rooms are okay and clean.

Several weeks on a business trip. Close to Skien centre, extremely friendly staff, free dinner!

We were satisfied with both the rooms and provided meals. The Covid regulations was handled ok.

Very good location, excellent service and very friendly and helpful staff. Nice free dinner each evening and good breakfast, also included. Lovely and clean rooms.

We were in town to pick up our new puppy, and this hotel was pet-friendly. The clerks in the reception doted on our little puppy, and not once did we feel like we were an inconvenience. This hotel serves an afternoon snack, and dinner, included in the price. This made for an exceptionally easy experience for my daughter and I, who had our little puppy along. Wonderful place!

Property was quite nice and clean. Easy to get to and staff was incredibly nice with great amenities. Would recommend asking about parking specifically because there is private parking in the back and can end with a ticket.
