“Really good stay - reasonably priced & unique”
Stayed in the suite, really liked the privacy feel, given we were in the out-house style section of the hotel. Nice living space and comfortably slept 4 adults, which we were initially worried about.

“A gorgeous characterful hotel in a lovely location.”
A truly lovely old hotel, in an amazing location. The room was small but perfectly formed and bright and cosy! The bathroom again was small, but the shower was excellent, and the toiletries provided were lovely. The bed was very comfortable. The welcome from Synna( sorry if I've misspelt it) was just fabulous. She accompanied us in the car to the parking spot and was so friendly and helpful.The hotel also provided food and drinks in the lobby on an honesty basis ( you wrote down anything you had) and free filter coffee was provided for guests. There were also facilities to prepare a basic meal ( microwave and air fryer) as well as plates and cutlery. The breakfast was excellent and in a beautiful room in a cafe a couple of minutes walk from the hotel. Old Fredrickstad was also beautiful. The icing on the cake was finding that Thursday night was jazz night in Tamburen , a local bar. Also, for the unique location, it was excellent value.

“Charming property and room in a great location in the old town”
A lovely, simply decorated and furnished room with everything I needed, very much in keeping with the historic hotel building and "Old-Town" Fredrikstad location. Very handy for wandering round the old town and for the free ferry to Isegran and the newer town. Lovely patio on the property. Good breakfast buffet in another building just around the corner - awesome furnishings in that room! Free parking was a bonus. Friendly, helpful staff : )

“A perfect hotel at a perfect location for a 24 hour holiday (from Oslo)”
Perfect location, friendly staff, OK breakfast (additional cost), good shower, a lovely single room. The old town, the one-minute free ferry to the Fredrikstad city, the museum, the cobbled streets, walls and moats.
