Anker Hotel

Kunne hvert litt billigere

The location was great and easily walkable to most sites in the city. The facilities were clean and adequate to most purposes. The breakfast was a self-serve buffet, which was quite ample and had a lot of variety, though the scrambled eggs were a little cold.

There were certain things about this property that were just weirdly absent: for example, there was no folding station on which to place your bag, nor was there any paper or writing utensil provided; more important, there was no telephone in the room, which made certain kinds of tasks unnecessarily difficult. If you have a quick question for the front desk, you can't just pick up the phone, but instead you have to take the elevator to the lobby to the talk to the concierge. If you have to make an outside call, you have to go down and use the telephone at the front desk. These are probably minor, almost unnoticeable things during most guests' stays, but during our stay, it ended up being a little annoying. On the morning of our departure, our flight was canceled; we called the airline on our cell phones, and the recording was in Norwegian and described another number to call, which was not easily transcribable because we don't speak Norwegian (the support number from the USA didn't work, because we were in Norway, of course). We had to go down to the front desk, wait in line, get help from the concierge transcribing the number, and then sit on hold all while standing at the front desk. In the grand scheme of things, this was a minor annoyance, but it would have been so much easier if we could just have called the concierge, asked her/him to call the number, transcribe the recording, and then call us back in our rooms, where we could have written down the number and then called it, all without having to get dressed and trekking down to the front desk. Again, this is not a big deal, but just a little annoying.

Perfect! If i come to norway again, i stay here

It was a little cold
