Beautiful views, good location

The hotel was in a good location to walk around Ålesund. The breakfast buffet was tasty - lots of options. The staff was nice and efficient. Only negative - thin, rough towels.

The room was beautiful and modern with a huge window with a lovely view of the city and waterways. The breakfast buffet was excellent! The staff were friendly. I want to mention that the desk chair at the foot of the bed does not push in all the way and the legs slant backwards which impedes the walkway and is a tripping hazard in the dark. I would suggest a different chair or relocate the desk.

Liked: Cleanliness
Most of the facilities is like other Scandic hotels we stayed at. However, when there’s an advisory for tap water unsafe to drink, there’s no water kettle in the room. In addition, ground floor close to nearby bar and quite noisy into pass midnight.

The hotel is centrally located. We stayed there the night before the Geiranger fjord cruise. It was walkable from the hotel to the boat dock. Also, the hotel prepared a breakfast to go because we left before the dining room opened. It was very good service on their part.

Loved the property! Our king room on a higher floor had an amazing view of the town and water. View was just as good from our window as it was from that steep hike you can do to overlook the town. Ceiling to floor windows. We left curtains open all night it was so pretty. Staff was great. Friendly and nice Only criticism is parking. Had to parallel park on the hilly streets and move the car by like 7am or pay a lot for hotel lot. But parking in Norway at hotels is expensive and rare

Lyxigt men varmt rum.

Stort och fint rum. Vi var i Norge sju nätter och detta var vårat finaste boende. Men! Det var 30 grader ute och tyvärr väldigt varmt på rummet. Trots öppna fönster fick vi aldrig ner temperaturen så att det blev behagligt. ACn funkade ej (gällde hela hotellet). Ganska stort minus för detta då flera andra hotell klarade av att ha svala och härliga rum. Detta var också vårat dyraste boende och då borde man kunna leverera bättre. Ligger perfekt nära aksla. Mycket kvällsliv som hördes på grund av de öppna fönstren. Ofta kö i hissen och barnen fick ingen mocktail (trots att det tydligen var en sommardrive på detta på alla scandic..) Stimmig frukostmatsal utan fönster men god frukost.
