Clarion Collection Hotel Gabelshus Review

This member of the Clarion Collection chain may not be as first-class as its previously recommended brethren (the Savoy or the Bastion), but in some ways we prefer it because of its location. It lies a brisk 15-minute walk from the city center in a tranquil location on a tree-lined street. Since its opening as a guesthouse back in 1912, it has greatly expanded through its takeover of an adjoining building. Discreetly conservative, it looks like an English manor house, laced with climbing ivy. The public rooms are filled with antiques, art, burnished copper, and working fireplaces. Guest rooms are decorated with tasteful colors and textiles, and some have terraces. You'll have a choice of Scandinavian modern furniture or traditional styling. The accommodations are well maintained and equipped with double-glazed windows.

Facilities:
Breakfast room; lounge; exercise room; sauna; steam room; laundry service/dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
