Hotell Kusten

The room they gave us had a great view of the bridge. The room was big. It was quiet. Although it is quite far from the city center, the tram station is just around the corner.

Not that I didn't like it but it was surprising that there was literally no one at the hotel lobby and it looked like an abandoned building when we arrived at around 5 pm. For security, the automatic doors do not open automatically for incoming people. It took a while before we noticed the sign that after 4:30 pm, we need to go the nearby Shell station to get our keys and instruction on how to get into the hotel. This is fine because it was still light out and not so cold yet. But if we arrived late at night, it would have a horrible experience.

The hotel was easily accessible via tram from the central station, and it is very close to the river and the main bridge in the city, so the view was really nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. Also, the breakfast was good, and you can always have FREE water (normal and/or sparkling) and coffee from the reception!

The timing of check-in isn't flexible, so I would suggest to have permanent staff who can interact with clients.
