I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful views of the garden and mountains. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, and the service was exceptional. However, I did miss having air conditioning in the new section. The breakfast room was impressive, and the food choices were plentiful, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

I had a really pleasant stay at the hotel thanks to its cleanliness and friendly staff. The room was comfortable, but I was disappointed that it wasn't cleaned during my multi-night stay, which was a bit of a letdown. The location was quite nice, offering pretty views and convenient access. While the breakfast was impressive with a variety of options, the overall value for the stay left some room for improvement regarding service consistency.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel in Sundvollen, which is conveniently located about 45-60 minutes from Oslo. The rooms were spacious and came with a great breakfast that had a variety of tasty options. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which made my experience even better. However, some parts of the hotel seemed a bit dated, and there were occasional hiccups in communication about services offered.

My stay at Sundvolden Hotel was quite pleasant with friendly staff and lots of parking space available. The location is a fantastic getaway, reasonably close to Oslo and surrounded by nature, perfect for outdoor activities. However, the rooms could use some improvement since we had two single beds instead of one double, and the dining experience wasn’t as enjoyable as I hoped.

The hotel had a great location, just a short drive from Oslo and reasonably priced compared to city hotels. The rooms were simple and clean, sticking to Scandinavian minimalist standards. I really appreciated the dining experience, especially the focus on fresh, local produce, although the breakfast service was lacking a bit. Overall, it’s a nice place for an overnight stay while traveling north, but there were a couple of minor issues like limited breakfast choices.
