I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location was amazing, right by the sea, offering a beautiful view from my window. The rooms were so helpful and friendly, although the coffee making facilities were located in a building opposite the street, not providing a view at the fjord. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience, while with an incredible view, had some room for improvement in the breakfast options.

The hotel provides a mix of comfort and noise issues. The room cleanliness falls short of expectations, and disturbances from passing cars and people outside were frequent. On the upside, the room on the 1st floor offered a good view of the street.
