A very modern and clean hotel. All sites of interest to us were in easy walking distance of the hotel. Many open spaces and brilliant views of the fjord from the bedroom window. A short 15 minute walk to the harbour and then caught a boat to see whales (we saw three species). Also an easy walk to the church, high street and old town.

Comfortable beds. Good location near the city center and next to the swimming pool. Too few showers in the common areas. The last floor, for example, has only 1 shower and 2 WCs for 10 rooms (some of which are triple rooms) which is more than insufficient at busy times (morning, evening).

The staff was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. I wish that we would have known in advance that room was on second floor without elevator, as my travel companion had difficulty with the stairs.

Felt like we were in a college dorm room. Noisy environment. Staff was not great, more like we were a nuisance.

A large hotel located next to the bay. The newly completed right wing has a novel layout, comfortable accommodation and sea views.

We were originally assigned a student room with bathroom down the hall. We asked for a better room and were transferred to the "hotel" side of the complex. The front desk staff was kind and very informative, almost entertaining. We enjoyed the area.

Its a fine property, but you really need to pay for the private room as this is also a college dorm. If you do a shared space it will be with college kids. Breakfast was good and rooms were clean and well maintained.

The only thing to complain was the restaurant. I choose the buffet. But most of the dishes were cold since nobody switched on the re-heater or the were partially broken. Apart of that the hotel was fulfilling my needs, clean showers, clean and cozy room.

Had everything I needed and the price was fantastic. There is no soundproofing so it really comes down to luck as to who the other guests are. I was lucky in that the floor was quiet but I can see how it could get loud. Everything was super clean and the room was comfortable. No frills and cheap and thats exactly what I was looking for.
