Comments
The hotel gym is quite small and will definitively appear quite claustrophobic if there’s just a few people working out at the same time.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Not sure!
Norway is a great country and although the hotel itself isn’t high end, I’d still expect more when it comes to the hotel gym. It’s like, “Here’s a room, it’s too small for anything else, let’s put the hotel gym in here! Who has some left-over machines?”.

Comments
It’s a big hotel (a combination of a hotel and conference center) located just 25 minutes from the airport in Olso. The rooms are nice and the food is great but as for the hotel gym, I question if you could call it a gym… If you’re looking for a hotel to have meetings in, then please go for this one… If you want to do workout too, then go for something else.
