Scandic Ambassadeur Drammen

After one day, the hotel manager changed my room—thanks to him, he was very kind. However, on the first day when I arrived at the hotel, there was a Black woman with glasses at the reception. She was neither polite nor friendly. This Black woman with the glasses at the reception ruined my vacation. I went on vacation, but this woman at the reception really ruined it. There were hairs on the bed, and even though I showed her photos, she refused to accept that the room was not clean. But after speaking with the manager, he changed my room and gave me a larger one with breakfast included. Thanks for the boss of hotel

Hotels in Norway are generally pricy compared to other regions of Europe, but to be fair to this particular hotel, even though the rooms are fairly small and the furniture looks like outdated, they compensate for that in the comfort of the bed and pillows and the practicality of using the desk, the closet, the bathroom, the shower and to top it up, one of the best open buffets breakfasts I've seen. The breakfast buffet easily beats some 5 star hotels in Europe. Plenty -and I mean plenty-of choices from super organic healthy to super fatty sugar sweets and cakes! Overall, it exceeded my expectations and I had a great accommodation and sleep for 2 days. The location is also great near so many points of transportation with plenty of taxis outside, restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets around.

We enjoyed

Ideal location at railway station. Had expected to be in main building, but we’re on a building across the road.

Good hotel

The hotel is located near the city centre where a large of restaurants and shops are nearby, which is very convenient for travellers. The reception staff is professional and polite. She answered all my queries promptly with smiles. When I asked her for restaurant recommendations, she asked the kind of food I like and recommend a couple of restaurants to me. The room is clean and tidy, with no obvious shortcomings. The breakfast served by the hotel impressed me. There are a large selection of food and fruits. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to my friends

We stay at many Scandic hotels, but this one really surprised us in a positive way. The level of service was a notch above what we usually experience at other hotels in the same chain. We especially appreciated the friendly and attentive service from both the reception staff and the breakfast team. They really made us feel welcome.

The economy is the worst room i have ever rented, no ventilation, its a big concrete block holding steady 30 degrees+! Even with the Windows open. And if the heat dosent kill you the 100s of seagull constantly screaming outside the window you are forced to have open will. And the parking here sucks so add 200-400 per day in parking fees
