We loved this charming hotel in an even more charming town. The breakfast was great. There are lots of shops just outside the front door and the parking garage is literally next door. Don’t miss the chocolatier, Heimdal, just down the street. Highly recommend.

This beautiful hotel is ideally located just a block from the central bus station and 2 blocks from the harbour front. We were very lucky and although arriving early, could checkin straight away. Our room was very spacious and beautifully appointed. It was at the back of the hotel which suited us as it was very quiet. The light evening meal was delicious as was the extensive breakfast buffet. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Overall, a terrific stay in a very pretty town. We stay in a lot of hotels in Australia and Asia and highly recommend this Norwegian hotel.

Just ok

The hotel itself is ok- the name is a bit misleading, as there is nothing “grand” about this hotel. We got a room on the backside of the hotel with just a tiny window. If you stay here, insist on the front. The housekeeping was in our room, but didn’t do the bed.

When we questioned this, she gave us a much large

The girl at the desk when we checked in was totally confused about our reservation. She told my husband that she had found it and when I went in to get more information on the room she asked me to pay for it. After 30 minutes she finally figured out the problem and gave us a room key. I had signed up for a superior double room and she originally gave us a room just big enough for the bed. When we questioned this, she gave us a much larger room that was what I thought I had ordered. She apologized profusely but it was not a real pleasant experience.
