This hotel is fantastic; check-in was easy, check-out was easy, staff were helpful, professional and efficient. The breakfast was fantastic - having seen some negative reviews on other sites I can honestly say that I have no idea what they were talking about - maybe they were on glue?The room was perfectly sized for a solo traveller; a drawer might have been helpful so when I unpacked I had somewhere to put my clothes, but I was only staying for 2 nights so it wasn't essential. The bathroom was small but perfectly formed and functional. It was so clean it looked brand new. The bed was a double and very comfy; my only feedback here is that I was only given a single duvet. Seemed a bit daft for a double bed but again, solo traveller, so it didn't really matter. I'm sure that had I asked they would have happily provided a double duvet. I liked the little amusing signs everywhere and appreciated that they were in English despite being in Norway. The view from my room was exceptional. I arrived on a sunny evening and it was breath-taking - thank you for arranging that ;-)Above all, and most importantly for me, this hotel was incredibly clean. I can usually find something that will turn my stomach cleanliness-wise, but not at this hotel, it was immaculate. Thank you for a...
Read moreHotel Leangkollen is a fantastic hotel, situated in a lovely place with fantastic history and great outdoor areas. ||||The hotel has what I/we experienced as Norway's best food for both lunch and dinner. We also had a conference at the hotel, and break food and coffee were always ready between the program. For those who have a conference in the same wing as the rooms, I still have to recommend going to the break section at the reception, which has an even better selection if you have forgotten breakfast, feel like for some fruit, popcorn, sweets or simply soft ice cream.||||The staff were welcoming with a smile and provided fantastic service througout our entire stay. Don't forget to give a little praise here and there to the individual if you are lucky enough to experience the and the same quality of staff we experencied from arrival to departure.||||All in all, delighted. The hotel can be highly recommended for conferences in a work context, but also for private overnight...
Read moreWhen they say this hotel has history from WW2, and then they don't explain it further, it's because the original building was meant to be Vidkun Quisling's (Norway's best known traitor) summer house.
The 'bomb shelter'-notion I got while strolling through the hotel corridors lead me to research its history. It made for a nice fun fact to be shared during evening beers.
Apart from the gritty history, this is a really nice hotel. Warm lunch with a wide selection. A large and friendly staff hard at work. A cozy 'cabin in the woods'-interior style. An 'all you can eat' free self-served soft ice-machine. Dinner was nice as well.
Though this was a really pleasant one night stay, I have to deduct one star from the rating. The reason for this is because all of us (me and my work colleagues), which stayed at the bottom floor, got our bathrooms flooded because of clogged shower-drains. The room interior could also...
