Drammen Hotels with Bars

Visited this hotel for a night with my family because of its location. Located close to the union scene, walking distance from Bragernes torg, Drammensbadet etc. Food store is close if needed as well. Nice walk across the Ypsilon bridge to a nice playground for kids. The hotel has a free (in the weekends) outdoor parking place 300 m away just make sure to pick up a spesific ”parking ticket” from the hotel barception in advance that need to be put in the car window while parked. The breakfast was okay. Just what I needed, not more, not less. The room was clean, wifi working well. It has a ”self in- and out checking”.

Very popular hotel, in the city center, the cabin inside is clean and comfortable, there is a laundry service for a fee, breakfast is one of the best we eat this way, very rich

A modern hotel close to a train station, which prevents entry to Oslo on the way to Gardermoen airport. Clean, pleasant and relaxing. Rich breakfast. Covered parking some distance from the hotel. There is a problem with unloading and loading luggage since it is necessary to cross a bicycle lane or stand on a sidewalk.

Overall: I will start by saying that the front desk staff were polite, apologetic, and very eager to try to accommodate us. During our travels in Norway we stayed at 2 other Clarion locations both of which were FAR superior. There were three rooms booked here by my family. I booked mine directly with the hotel --which stated that it had air conditioning (it does not), had recently been renovated (perhaps, but the renovations were not noticeable or they made it worse), had parking available (yes, in a nearby lot for a fee you pay with an app) and centrally located (to a massage place a few doors down maybe, but not much else?). Comfort: Our room was excessively hot (it was a heatwave in their defense) but every room was supposed to have a fan and did not. None of the 3 rooms we had purchased had a fan. Food: The dinner served was far inferior to the dinners provided by other Clarions we stayed at. It had a self serve beef taco night with drinks available only for a fee. Dessert was primarily a bowl of apples and bananas. The food was fresh and well cooked, if not very appealing. It was palatable. Customer Service: Once we realized we needed to move to another location, we asked the front desk for assistance. As it was after dinner and the front desk staff were also the bartenders (the bar is AT the front desk) it was difficult to keep their attention long enough to try to solve the problem. American Ex. travel came to the rescue and they booked us at an incredible Clarion in Kongsberg with delightful AC, delicious food, and a rooftop bar and spa. The price differential was $10 additional per night (worth exponentially more). We so far have not been refunded for our rooms, so we, in effect, paid double for our stays that night. If you prefer to stay in hotels that are a bit edgy and uncomfortable, then this is the place for you. It was inexpensive, but I honestly would not stay there even if it were free.
