A friendly hotel, very good food and service in restaurant Grenseløs. Occasionally very long queue in the reception but otherwise very good service. Will definitely be back

"A much better breakfast experience than at most hotels"

My son and I had a very nice weekend at The Radisson Blu Caledonien Hotel. Being a Radisson Rewards VIP member I am used to get a room at the top floors of the hotel and was a bit disappointed to get a 3rd floow room, although it was nice and comfortable. The room had a bathroom with both a shower and a bath tub and a large balcony which we did not use as it was not the season for outdoor activities. Even though not being recognized as a RR VIP member I was very pleased with the hotel breakfast. It had a lot of both hot and cold dishes and you have to very rare if you do not find the food and beverages you like to see at the breakfast table. Very nice staff and a good atmosphere. All in all a very nice stay.
