Fredrikstad, Østfold hotel rooms at the Independent

"We stayed in a family bedroom that was very spacious, with beds for four, plus a comfortable sleeping couch and a table that seated four. The hotel sits on a hilltop with a beautiful view over the harbor. Breakfast was excellent—truly the best I’ve had in Sweden."

"Great hotel- started in a very spacious and clean family room. Good facilities and well equipped- funky decor too. Lovely breakfast. "

"Jag har rest i jobbet i 35 år och bor på hotell ca 3-4 dar i veckan på olika hotell runt om i framförallt Sverige. Speciellt Mycket bra frukost med fina råvaror ."

"Parking was full so despite being disabled we had to unload at the door and park offsite at extra cost. Pet rooms weren’t available but we were given a room on the top floor. We had a small balcony so were able to leave that open to keep room cool. We had a fridge, good beds and pillows. "

"Perfectly preserved traditional hotel, 2nd oldest in Norway, 2790 I think! Warm and welcoming, sumptuous furnishings and really nice staff…."

"Great location, nice specious family room with a lovely view of the park, delicious breakfast selection. Staff were helpful in booking us taxis as needed (and ensuring the taxi company had an infant seat too!)"

"Great breakfast buffet. Terrific restaurant staff."

"Hotel was fine. Comfy beds decor was a bit stark. Rented a suite with a kitchen but it had no plates or silverware or anything. Staff was very kind and helpful. "

"Very friendly "
