Nights
Three options: the galley counter, the strip at the end of the street, or the small card room on the top floor. The third one is optional and always has been.
The card room
Four tables, low lamps, and a bar that stops serving at one. It is reached by its own stair from the fourth-floor landing, so nobody passes it on the way to bed.
Entry is limited to people aged eighteen or over, or older where local law requires it, and photographic identification is checked at the door every single time. Staff who recognise you still ask. Nobody under eighteen is admitted for any reason.
Nothing about your stay depends on it. Your room, your breakfast, and the salt room are unaffected by whether you ever open the door, and nothing spent up there changes what you pay for anything else.
Plainly. No wagering is offered through this website. No promises are made about outcomes. No credit is extended, no funds are held, and no loyalty scheme exists. Accommodation and play are never sold as one product.
The strip
Turn left out of the door and the Ankerplass strip starts in about ninety seconds. Two theatres, a concert hall, a row of late kitchens, and the licensed gaming rooms at the north end near the customs house.
All of them are independent businesses with their own licences, their own door policies, and their own opening hours. We are not connected to any of them and receive nothing for mentioning them. What we can offer is accurate directions and an honest opinion about which night is busy.
The walk back is flat, lit, and takes a few minutes. The front door is on a code you get at check-in, so there is no bell to ring at two in the morning.
What we ask of guests
- Decide when you are going to stop before you go out, and take that decision seriously.
- Only play with money you have already written off. Nothing here is designed to help you win it back.
- Staff will not serve anyone who is clearly drunk and will call a car instead.
- Ask reception to bar you from the card room and it happens at once, quietly, for as long as you want.
- Support details are on the responsible play page and pinned inside the card room door.
Nobody has ever regretted going to bed at midnight in this house.
