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.

I have stayed here many times but over the last 6 months the hotel has declined rapidly. Rooms were never large but now lack of maintenance in the rooms and hotel has ended up with a second rate hotel. If you want to stay in Drammen stay at the Tollboden

The hotel is neither good nor bad. I have only stayed here for 2 nights on business in what I think was the smallest single room in Scandinavia, but it worked for me as I was really tired and just trying to sleep. The breakfast was decent but a bit lacking in taste. The hotel was quiet and I could... More

The hotel is centrally located in Drammen, close to the railway station. The hotel is not obvious when exiting, so check a map first. The property has seen better times. It seems to have been renovated in the late 1980s, everything going steadily downhill from there. It was clean everywhere (expect the windows, which were covered in grime), but the... More

First off, if arriving or departing Drammen by train this hotel is perfectly situated right across the street from the train station. Reception and public areas look quite new and very nice. As others have commented the hallways are a nightmare to navigate, and expect to be searching for your room for a while the first time you get there.... More

Its quite expensive for what it is offering. Staff was ok. The corridors are like a maze, it took me a while to find my room. The room was very small, with old ugly furniture. I've taken only one night dinner here and the menu was very poor, only two meals to chose from. Nice on the outside and the... More
