History

CABINN Hotels was founded in 1990 by Niels Fennet, who was inspired by the practical cabins he and his family stayed in on a tour to Norway. He found that the cabin contained everything needed for a stay, and that its functionality made it possible to have it all in a small space. This concept he transferred to the hotel business. [1]

Rooms

CABINN Hotels have four room categories to accommodate price levels. Economy is the cheapest and smallest room; Standard is the most common room and a little bigger. The two last categories, Commodore and Captains are the most expensive.
