Spendwise was an affordable and hospitable accommodation. The staff were incredibly helpful with all things including assistance getting around. I had a cozy apartment and the green surroundings were refreshing and relaxing. I’ll definitely be back.

Trying hard but not getting there

Mary the owner was very helpful but even her kindness, and the cheap price, couldn't save this place. the staff were nice, but amateurish. It needs someone with a hospitality background. The room was poor. only 2 lightbulbs out of five working. I was given a lamp but that didn't throw much light. there were electrical problems in the kitchen, including exposed wires mended with sellotape. The bed was tired, and the couch uncomfortable. WiFi was problematic despite Mary's efforts to provide it.

Praktisk overnatting med hyggelig stab

Budde i ei praktisk, lita studioleiligheit med kjøkenkrok, arbeidsplass og eige soverom. Dette er ein veldig fin plass å bu når ein er i byen for studie/arbeid. Når ein skal vere ei stund i byen er det praktisk å kunne lage mat sjølv og trekke seg tilbake for å arbeide på romet. Spendwise opplevdes som trygt og skjerma og staben var veldig hyggelige og gjorde alt for at eg skulle ha bra! Dei var merksamme og opptekne av tryggleik. Det fins aggregat på hotellet og det var derfor moglegheit for å få lys og lade batteri til PC og mobil også når straumen var borte. Eg fekk og moglegheit til å låne ein "hotspot", som eg sjølv fylte opp med GB til internett. Det er ikkje veldig nært sentrum og ein bør derfor anten ha eigen bil eller nytte drosje. Staben er veldig hjelpsamme med å skaffe transport og gi gode råd om byen. Ved fleire anledningar tok tilsette meg sjølv med på omvisning i gamlebyen og city centre.
