Quality Hotel™ Strand

OK room, but some minor details could have been better: defective or blinking lightbulbs, coffee machine not functioning etc.

So this is like any other conferencehotel, some of the rooms are quite old, and some of them are nice, you get what you pay for. Conference lunch was just OK, breakfast OK after Norwegian standard, big plus for the waffle iron. The dinner at the pi (3,14) rooftop restaurant was the big plus here. Nice view and fresh air, after a day at the conference. A hour in the spa, was also a nice treat!

Tiny double room and even smaller bath. Unable to sit properly on the toilet, flooding half the floor when showering, sink completely filled while shaving, light and electric outlet at mirror out of order. Warm day and room with no AC.

First of all parking: no parking at all on site, but public parking at outrageous prices. Then the hotel: been a very long time since this hotel was upgraded. Needs painting and general maintenance upgrading. But also cleaniness was not good anywhere. Typical Norwegian hotels: absolutely zero ventilation. Open an window leaves you at mercy of the seagulls screaming at 3 am. Breakfast area packed with people and very stuffy air. Blinds in room not sufficient to keep out daylight, which in summer is 24/7. Positive is breakfast which is pretty good, but glasses are smallest I ever seen anywhere.

Great room, super friendly staff, and fantastic breakfast. I started my stay on the older side of the hotel and was only marginally impressed with the rooms, but transfered to the newer side after the first night. This was a big improvement!
