Probably ridiculously easy, but I don't speak a word of Norwegian! This comes up in an English text I'm editing. A Norwegian hotel has just welcomed its four millionth guest.
“Mycket trevligt” , was celebrated guest Mr X's immediate response after receiving flowers, a gift certificate and of course champagne from the hotel's General Manager and senior staff.
Since the text is for an international audience, I think I need to give them a clue. Judging by entries in the KOG, it means something like 'very nice' but I'd welcome confirmation from you Norwegian specialists!

Comment: "I'll probably add something like "Fantastic", "Great" or "How wonderful", as your suggestion sounds a bit on the quaint side in the context ;-)) Thanks, Per."
