I stayed at the Park inn Radison with my wife for our honeymoon the first night in Norway. We ate…read moreat the RBG restaurant that night, I ordered the steak and a drink, my wife ordered the chicken. The food tasted decent, but it was extremely expensive for what you got- meat, some potatoes heavily bathed in butter and cream, and some kind of ball of arugula with an Italian dressing.
The chicken was incredibly over salted, my wife couldn't finish the whole thing so I tried a bite to confirm that. At that point we were willing to chalk this up to a bad restaurant experience which happens, but the next morning she started vomiting uncontrollably, and I came down with bad stomach pain and intestinal distress. This almost made us miss our flight to Tromsø for the rest of our honeymoon, and we nearly had to visit a hospital as she was unable to keep down fluids to stay hydrated. Not the way we wanted to start our honeymoon.
Once we were at the hotel in Tromsø and not feeling deathly ill, about a day later, I called to let the hotel know about this issue and request a refund for our dinner which totaled about 1000 kroner, or over $100. The staff member at the desk took my email and said a "service manager" would contact me. From his tone it was clear to me he thought I was pulling some kind of scam. It has now been three days and I have received absolutely no response from the management. I will be filing a chargeback with Visa for this if the matter is not resolved.
The room was clean, but the bathroom had drainage issues from the shower being on the same level as everything else. There was a little useless green shield that you could kinda swing around to avoid spraying the toilet but overall it did nothing to stop the water going all over the floor, you have to waste a towel to not have your feet soaking wet on the cold hardwood floor. The staff were friendly and nice, and I really enjoyed being able to airplay to the TV, but the fact that food safety is obviously not a priority here would caution me to recommend this hotel to anyone else.
