Oppegard: hotel con bar

Qualtiy Hotel Entry has a great location close to the main road E18 approximately 11 kilometers south of Oslo. The hotel has a large car park and offers parking for NOK. 150 per day and night. From the hotel there are good bus connections to the center of Oslo. Hvervenbukta beach is only a short walk from the hotel. The hotel's common areas appeared to be clean, modern and well maintained.. The hotel has both a bar, a restaurant and a separate fitness room. The guest room was simply furnished and consisted of two beds, an armchair, flat screen TV, a desk and a bar stool that was intended as a desk chair. There was no aircondtion or minibar in the room. The mattresses and pillows appeared somewhat worn and should have been replaced. However, the bed linen was clean and in good condition. The cleanliness was generally poor, the bins were not emptied and there was rubbish from the previous guest both in the bathroom and the guest room. There were also several stains on the walls, curtains and furniture. The bathroom had underfloor heating and was simply furnished. There was dispenser soap both at the shower and sink. In addition to this, a test set of face creams was laid out on the bed. The maintenance could be somewhat better in both guest rooms and bathrooms. There was also no ventilation in the room, which meant that the air quality was perceived as poor. The breakfast was served as a buffet and had a good selection of both hot and cold dishes. The various dishes were nicely presented and there was also a good selection of allergy-friendly dishes. However, the food did not seem fresh and both the cold cuts and the cheese had dried to the edges and seemed to have been left out for a long time. There was also very little flavor in the bacon that was served. The service level of the staff was very variable. Only a few of the employees spoke Norwegian. At check-in we had to wait a long time for some staff to come to the reception and there was a lack of both service comments and information about the hotel's facilities. The female English-speaking employee in the breakfast room was cheerful and pleasant. The hotel has the potential to deliver a good experience, but something should be done with both cleanliness, service level and food quality before I can recommend the hotel to others.
