I think they've been through a process of renovating the rooms, and so the room itself was ok although small. Comfy enough, although it could have been warmer, and if I was being picky it could have been cleaner. The central areas are pretty shabby still, and the service at reception leaves a little to be desired. The restaurant may... More

I read the last three reviews below after having had this hotel booked for me. I arrived with these in my mind and was not looking forward to the stay. However, after spending four nights here whilst working in Drammen, I can't help but feel that the negative experiences recorded in terms of dirty bathrooms, lousy restaurant service, menu selection,...

The hotel is 2 mins walk from the main station so is very convenient. The reception / lobby is big and bustling and it gives a good impression. There was only one check-in girl and I had to wait, yet behind a screen I could see other staff milling around, and it annoyed me that no-one came to help. Eventually... More

Just checked in and having read the bad reviews I asked for an upgraded room. Well, what can I say the whole place feels grimy? The room reeks of smoke with no aircon... More

Good points: "Cheap" for Norway, great lobby, good options at the buffet, comfortable beds, good service staff. Bad points: Dirty bathroom, water temperature at shower changed every minute, no minibar. We had not realized our bathroom was dirty since we went here dropped our stuff and left, the receptionists were very nice and all but this hotel just doesn't fill... More

If you enter this hotel, chosen qs very close to the train station, you have a good impression as the lobby is promising but it's the only thing. The room was small, not very clean, no minibar with a terrible bathroom having a dirty toilet seat, and a shower with an old plastic curtains. Breakfast has no croissant, slice of... More

I spent some days in 2012 in First Hotel at Drammen, and it was disapointing. Hotell is in centrall part of town, just behind Train Station, but room was so old and smelled smoke that it was not worth price. Altough stuff was very nice and kind, and rom was clean , but there are better places in Drammen

I have been there many times on conferances and restaurant visit + "julebord". I have also sleept there one time. All in all I think it's ok. The rooms are not "new" but clean. It's closed to the train station and Flytoget to OSL or NSB to Torp/Ryanair.
