"What a joy this fairly upmarket hotel is! We’d strongly recommend paying the extra for a harbour view. The free tea and coffee machine in the lobby is a lovely extra touch. The car park is stupidly expensive but it being next to the hotel makes it very convenient. Everyone praises the breakfasts and rightly so as you’re offered a vast variety of food. The town offers a wide variety of restaurants but we’d strongly recommend Bakbarden Vesta for excellent variety and also relatively cheap for food, beer and wine,"
"Location in front of factory ( other side of road)and there was bad smell. That smell comtinue in hotel..not good Rooms in new building are very poor..like a prisoncell. In old building rooms are good."
"Everything was excellent, apart from the sofabed in the livingroom. But those are terrible everywhere. Should add extra matress when its used as bed. Food was amazing."
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a fantastic hotel!
How do you describe a perfect hotel? For us, it’s one that gets everything right — and the Quality Hotel in Fredrikstad certainly did!
The hotel is perfectly located in the centre of Fredrikstad, just minutes from the bus station, around 10 minutes from the train station, and only about 5 minutes from some fabulous restaurants.
From the moment we walked through the doors, we received such a warm welcome. The lobby area looks amazing, and check-in was incredibly easy. The lady at reception was so helpful and understanding. English wasn’t her first language, but that didn’t stop her from making sure we had everything we needed. She even advised us on the best place to park, just two minutes from the hotel entrance — very useful when you’re trying to avoid the traffic wardens, who seem to be the same everywhere… vultures! 😂
Our double room was fantastic — really spacious, with a lovely, comfortable double bed, two armchairs, a dressing table, plenty of wardrobe space and a full-sized bathroom. Everything was absolutely immaculate.
And then there was the breakfast! 😍
There was such an amazing array of food that it would be impossible to mention everything. What really impressed us, though, was the fantastic choice available for people with dietary requirements. My wife and I both have gluten and dairy intolerances, and the range of options available to us was honestly something I have never experienced in a hotel before.
There were so m"
"Our stay was amazing, unfortunately only one night. The room had a beautiful view of the marina and we ad our own balcony. Thank you so much for a lovely stay."
