    The room was quite small - but adequate enough for our purposes (to sleep)

    The location, close to where we needed to go each day. The breakfast venue was good and very close to the hotel.

    A lovely, simply decorated and furnished room with everything I needed, very much in keeping with the historic hotel building and "Old-Town" Fredrikstad location. Very handy for wandering round the old town and for the free ferry to Isegran and the newer town. Lovely patio on the property. Good breakfast buffet in another building just around the corner - awesome furnishings in that room! Free parking was a bonus. Friendly, helpful staff : )

    Gamlebyen is the (small) old town (1600 or so) within Fredriikstad. On Saturday busy with day tourists. The hotel is fully in style of the old town, yet very comfortable. Good breakfast facilities (Vaerk) and plenty of restaurant available.

    Our ground-floor room was a bit too intimate for comfort, with window and door opening straight onto the outdoor seating area. Pretty expensive for what was on offer.

    Charming historic building in the old town.

    Perfect location, friendly staff, OK breakfast (additional cost), good shower, a lovely single room. The old town, the one-minute free ferry to the Fredrikstad city, the museum, the cobbled streets, walls and moats.

    Staff and owner gave us a warm and personal welcome. You feel, if someone just has trained communication phrases, or if people really mean what they say! This hotel communicates in a fantastic way, picking up all points and questions of the guest. As a guest, you expect nice and clean rooms - this hotel adds a personal note: Each room is furnished differently, and small details (vase of flowers on the window sills, water and coffee prepared, a nice terasse in the atrium, ...) make the difference to big hotels.

    The small room was cluttered; there was no free surface space to put anything on, not even a bedside table on one side of the bed.

    The location was great and the breakfast was excellent, although it is in a nearby cafe and at extra cost. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good mattress.

    I think the problem was a difference in understanding about the term ‘hotel’. In the uK it suggests somewhere which provides food - breakfast and dinner. In Norway it can mean that it simply is a place to overnight. There is no dinner or breakfast here though they have an arrangement with a cafe next door. And although we went in June it was definitely outwith the tourist season. Lots of places closed.

    Historic property in the old town which is lovely
