satisfactory central stay

gluten free dairy free options shopping center great location basic furniture small room working lifts hotel
The breakfast had AMAZING gluten free and dairy free options. The hotel offered MANY healthy choices. The location is great, since it is across the road from a shopping center. It is close to Bryggen plus many restaurants and cafes in the area.
The room was small with basic furniture. The desk was tiny and there was no clothes storage. Water flowed out from under the shower screen and the curtain against the toilet. Lifts were not working properly, WHAT a chaos when tour groups arrived.
