The wifi was impossible to use. I work in IT and it was impossible to use. Also the room could a bit cleaner.

Amazing location. Amazing breakfast. And all the people that work there are absolutely fantastic.

One of the windows was lacking the internal seal, which combined with howling winds, made some noise during the night.

Spacious and clean room. Good breakfast. Quiet overall.

We found it hard to locate the hotel entrance and needed to ask. It's on an eminence a bit away from the town - easy to walk down the hill, harder to walk up. Shower was a bit small. Provision of an electric jug for making tea would be an enhancement.

Room was comfortable and stylish. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the restaurant served a high quality dinner.

The room was not very cozy, especially with the bleak colour scheme and high ceiling, and the bathroom felt a bit shabby even though it was well cleaned.

Amazing, absolutely crazy delicious breakfast. Best hotel breakfast I have had in a looong time. Everything was really tasty, but also local, sustainable and ethically farmed, love it. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location had you right by Festningen, so beautiful surroundings, but still easy to get into town.

The rooms were small and could only accommodate two single beds.

The breakfast was the best we have had in all our travels throughout Europe. The hotel was in a good location and the staff were wonderful.

I wish to have a room with a better view.

Breakfast was super delicious with tasty fresh local dishes.

All of the hotel staff were wonderful and helpful, and the breakfast magnificent! There was nothing to not like.

Fredriksten Hotell is a very unique facility, situated adjacent to the Fortress, and overlooking the city. Because the hotel is a converted military facility, it has an institutional feel, yet it is charming. Everyone was kind and helpful, and spoke excellent English. We were make to feel welcomed.

For some reason all rooms were equipped with feather lamps. Probably not important for almost everybody but if you are allergic to that it can matter very much. There should be a couple of rooms available without that. Anyway the staff understood our problem and we were allowed to remove that thing from the room.

A nice hotel with a beautiful view of Halden. A cozy terrace where you can enjoy sunset with a glass of wine. Quiet surroundings with a good parking place. The staff was very polite and helpful.

Breakfast was excellent!

Warm and cozy atmosphere in the common area. Great location. Both common areas and the rooms appear fresh and newly refurbished. Great food, both lunch, dinner and breakfast with a focus on local ingredients. Historic area with a short walking distance to the fortress.

The only problem was a car charger that was hard to use (and an evening desk person who wasn't sure how to get it working), though she was very keen to be helpful

really excellent breakfast!

Only small things like, - no mat for the bathroom floor - sweet breakfast could be better

It is a nice hotel with a beautiful view over the city. Best location to exlpore the castle and if you have to make a stop on your way north on the E6. Very quiet rooms..

Location was great. The breakfast was wonderful. 10/10 would stay here again. The dinner we had the first night was also really good, even though the wait for the dinner was very long, it was worth the wait.

You can open the windows just about one inch, which isn’t nice when it is hot as the rooms have no airco. Also: sheets of the double bed are way too small, so during the night you find yourself lying on the bare mattress

Nice location, very quiet, good breakfast
