My stay at Skansen Hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic-right in the city center, making it easy to access shops and attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, but I missed having a TV for entertainment during the long winter nights. Breakfast was simple and sufficient, yet not particularly exciting. Overall, it offered decent value for the price, especially given the expensive nature of hotels in Norway.
