Travelling for two weeks around Scandinavia and this was the most luxurious, friendly and value for money stay. The views across the harbour stunning and the breakfast was epic!

No complains! Great and friendly staff, amazing lobby with a lot of space to chill or work and quite central. The breakfast was very diverse (just very crowded on the weekend). I also had an amazing view from my room.

This hotel was comfortable - great bed and pillows It’s convenient and walkable and the staff were great! The only thing I didn’t like was the automatic bathroom light. Not so nice to have such a bright light in your face at 2am! Shocks you right awake!

Brilliant hotel.
Great hotel. Fab location. Very clean and comfortable. Would def recommend. Breakfast was excellent and views from roof top bar were outstanding.
Only small complaint was we hung up our towels as instructed so they wouldn’t be changed but they all were.

They have a Roof top restaurant and bar from where we could view the Northern Lights. When we reached the restaurant was full; so we couldn't dine there but they have provided an enclosed area and an open area for those who want to view lights.

This hotel is the BEST! Good location for walking to the marina, restaurants, etc in the downtown area. The floor to ceiling windows offer a spectacular view of the harbor, (get a harbor view room) allowing you to watch all the activity. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast has a very good variety and is well stocked. We stayed here 8 years ago and it was very consistent and would definitely recommend. 17th floor lounge is great for viewing the midnight sun and surrounding city.

The room as well as the whole hotel is very welcoming designed and comfortable. The hotel crew was very kind, open for questions and supportive in case of problems. The breakfast is well chosen but large in its options and the location is quite practical with restaurants and cafés near by same as shopping opportunities.
Just people who are not comfortable with stormy weather, heavy rain or snow falls or cold temperatures, the location near the ocean might not be too nice.

Love the view. Fine breakfast buffet with too many choices to name...something for everyone! Only drawback was the inability/unwillingness of the bartender to make a simple martini -- perhaps I misunderstood, but she seemed to say it was against Norwegian liquor law. Mystifying. Otherwise a wonderful hotel.

In this price range, we have to say this is one of the best hotels so far. The views are fabulous. There are water views even if you have a city view! The bed is comfortable and good size, the location is convenient. We enjoyed our stay.
