Rakkestad Vacation Packages

We stayed in 2 bed apartment. The apartment was clean & comfortable and had everything you would expect. Nice outside space with the balcony too. However, the photos on the website did NOT relate to the place we stayed - except perhaps a couple of the bedroom photos. The living areas are not photographed. We were surprised to find the apartment had 2 floors - with a big staircase. The bathroom is downstairs. None of this is mentioned on the website description. There is a supermarket directly across the road, which we found useful. In terms of location, it is walking distance to harbour & train station etc so ideal for that, but it is on a road which is heavily Middle Eastern/ African culture - people, shops and eateries. The check in process is scanning your phone on a pad at the door, so you must have internet access & a charged phone to get in each time. One night we had a bad experience with people repeatedly running up & down metal staircase to the roof terrace throughout the night - the staircase is right outside the bedroom window so very noisy. It eventually stopped when security came. There doesn’t appear to be any security within the building so we assumed they were messaged. I mention this because if anything is amiss with your stay, messages are potentially reviewed out of hours, which is useful as we didn’t think they would be so didn’t complain about the noise.

We absolutely loved this hotel and would stay again. My family is still raving about the delicious breakfast bar! I have a 13 and 11 year old and we comfortably slept in the family style room. I especially loved the access to charging ports and how walkable the hotel is to restaurants and shopping.
