My partner and i stayed for 4, nights in July, we have family living in Skien, the Hotel is situated right in the center of Skien, situated by the water, we were treated very well by the Hotel Staff, always smiling, and nothing was too much trouble. The Breakfast was very good, there was afternoon tea, and a Buffet included in the evening, that was not expected. But very welcome, because the cost of eating out is very expensive in Norway. We will be staying here again,as we will be visiting the family quite often.nearly forget to mention the Sauna etc on the top floor.
