Hotel Dengan Spa di Akershus, Norway

This review combines both the hotel and the restaurant The Social Bar & Bistro. I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel. Check-in was flawless - I had the key within 30 seconds of arrival. My room was located in the south-west corner of the hotel. There was no noise from the airport, even though the runway was less than 500 m away. Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable and the minibar was reasonably well stocked. There was a balcony equipped with a small table and two chairs. I would have appreciated it if someone had removed the dust on the furniture. Also - there were bird droppings on the railing - it seemed that a clattering of jackdaws lived nearby. Please do clean the bird excrement. I visited the Social Bar & Bistro for an evening meal. I got seated quickly. There were not many guests - perhaps around 10. The waiter was quick and attentive. I chose the ”Catch of the Day” from the menu: Oven baked or perhaps fried salmon with oven baked small potatoes, vegetables and sauce. When it was served - to my surprise - it was really warm, probably straight from the oven. Nice! And it was really, really tasty. Unfortunately - during the time I was eating the main course - 15 more guests arrived, and service broke down, as there was only one useful waiter. I waited a while to order dessert, but it took too long so I decided to pay at the counter and leave. I parked my car at the hotel - NOK 345 for 38 hours.

I needed to be in a few meetings in Oslo and had to fly in and fly out so the airport location was perfect and the reliable train connection to get to the city from the airport. Its a convenient short walk from the terminal. You can take your trolley if you wish. My most memorable feature was the large, outsized fitness center. A lot of airline staff seem to stay here. Hotel also gave the flexibility to extend my stay (paying) by half day. I needed to do a few meetings late in the afternoon before my flight and it was not something I wanted to do from the airport.

The flight was cancelled and I had to find a hotel at 2030 at night the room as clean and comfortable but the barthroom was full of small hairs whe food was nice but very expensive. Would stay again.

The room looks quite new and I'm happy as there was ventilation in the room. Overall I'm satisfied.

Im Zimmer wurde eine leere Flasche vom Vorgänger aufgefunden. Deshalb der Abzug bei der Sauberkeit. Das Wellnesshotel hat eine gute Anbindung an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel. So kann man mit dem Bus zum jeweiligen Zugbahnhof fahren und ist immerhalb von 30 Minuten am Hauptbahnhof Oslo. Die Aufgüsse in den Saunen waren sehr angenehm und wurden thematisch schön gestaltet. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Ich werde „The Well“ weiterempfehlen.

This was a great hotel. The room was good, as was the gym and the pool. The range of breakfast items was one of the most amazing I have ever seen. There was literally everything you could think of (apart from alcohol - well, this is not Spain!!). Some of the hot foods (turkey meatballs and fried eggs) were a little on the cold side on two of our four mornings at the hotel, but, to be fair, they were topped up with fresh items for later customers so I guess we were just at the wrong time. However, I went back to the breakfast bar on a couple of occasions and had more than enough to eat. The hotel restaurant is temporarily closed. I’m not sure whether this meant upstairs or the small brasserie by the bar area, as both were closed. Food was available from the bar, though the menu is quite limited (about 4 items, I recall). We opted for the fish and chips. It has to be one of the best fish and chips we had eaten in a long time. It was so good that we had it on our second night at the hotel. Unfortunately, the bar is not open at any time on Sunday, so that meant nothing to drink nor eat. Fortunately, we were invited to a barbecue on that night so didn’t miss out on food. The hotel is well located and the area felt very safe. The railway station is literally five minutes away, as is the bus terminal. We also walked into the centre of Lillestrøm one day. That only took about 12 minutes and was fairly straightforward. All, in all, a good stay at a great price. Highly recommended.

A surprisingly great hotel with good qualities. An intimate and clean spa with opportunities for a glass of wine :) But the absolute best is the restaurant. Lots of good things on the menu and a wine list that oozes quality. The staff are pleasant and professional. Excellent breakfast!

We travelled to Son Spa from the UK as a couple, not really knowing what to expect. We discovered Son Spa through Choice Rewards (previously Radisson US) so booked 2 nights in the one-bedroom balcony suite using points. Really easy drive from Oslo airport (OSL), lots of car hire options (and large proportion are electric cars - there are charging points everywhere). As it was an early flight, we arrived before check-in time, but was welcomed warmly by the reception staff. As the room was already available they let us check-in straight away. Lovely room with separate living room, and outdoor balcony looking out past the marina. Easy walk to Son, a coastal town 10-15 minutes away, where there is a couple of restaurants, a supermarket and an amazing bakery (tucked underneath a building, but you will smell it!) Breakfast is included, large buffet selection, that you can enjoy indoors or outdoors. The spa is fantastic, with indoor and outdoor pools But our favourite bit of Son Spa is the Aufguss ritual (sauna experience on the floating sauna rafts) with wide glass windows looking out across the water. A massive thank you to Thorun and Lars who were so lovely, welcoming and inclusive. The smells they make by mixing different oils with ice before putting them into the sauna are so refreshing. You are ready to jump into the cold water outside afterwards! We were fortunate to be able to see the Northern Lights one evening from the pier as well as Jeløya. We have recommended Son Spa to all our friends and family, and would love to come back!
