Best Westen Hotell Bondeheimen: Central location, Comfortable Hotel Best Westen Hotell Bondeheimen Review

I Booked this for our gang of 4 after reading VTers tips.

Reasonable price and central location clinched it!
10 minutes from bus terminal, less than 5 by taxi.

Friendly, patient and helpful reception staff.

We had booked 1 smoking and 1 non smoking room, our allocated rooms were both non smoking. Within a few minutes, another room was found.

Apparently, the hotel is undergoing renovation, and will eventually be all non smoking.

Rm 421 Non Smoking, twin beds with settee (classed as Family Room), wardrobe space, dressing table,TV, mini bar. Bathroom with shower,wc and basin plus hairdryer.

2 elevators (lifts).
Reception area with chairs, newspapers and books. Locked left luggage store.
Check out 12 noon, possible late check out upto 1500.
Taxi Rank opposite .

Unique Qualities: Restaurant/Cafe.

Booked as Bed And Breakfast. Breakfast served 07.30 - 10.00 weekends.
Self service.

Good selection of hot and cold, Norwegian and International dishes.
Mostly familiar, some surprises, and a couple of 'mystery' items!

One of the mystery items was the slab of brown 'stuff' at the end of the cold buffet table , which I later found out was the national delicacy of brown cheese- to me it tasted like caramac flavoured cheese- neither pleasant or unpleasant! I did try some more the next day.
