Ideal location for overnight stop. Parking on nearby street if hotel car park full. Very helpful staff on reception. Clean room and public areas very neat and tidy. Standard of food is not great but adequate. Coeliac choices but limited - Evening meal (1 course) is included in room price, but coeliac choice was overcooked with watery veg. Dining room staff over zealous clearing away in a morning. Large tour groups use this hotel. Would visit again.

This hotel is right on the water and had an incredible view. The breakfast buffet is really good and had several options (including gluten free). The only reason for not choosing 5 stars is because the rooms are very dated and there isn’t free parking on the property.

Breakfast and dinner were included, both simple but enough to satisfy me. A tour group had breakfast and they ate most of the food, staff wasn't quick enough to replenish them. My room was dark, there were at least 5 lamps in the room which I had to turn on most of them. Laundry (washer & dryer) was 50kr total. Free parking weekends only.

The dining room has great views, food good for both breakfast and dinner, saved having to go out looking for places to eat. 5 mins walk from town centre and ferry terminal. 1 min walk from bus for Evenes airport(50 mins trip). Bedroom good size and good amenities, mine did not have good views but pay more and get the stunning mountains. Great bathroom with the heated floor of course. No fridge.

Top Value Hotel

Lovely hotel in great position near the water. Loved getting breakfast, afternoon tea and light dinner included. It was also excellent value. Only negative-hotel looks like it is ready for some remodelling. It’s a bit dated.

L'hôtel est assez singulier car il est attenant voire imbriqué avec la bibliothèque municipale et le centre culturel. Son fonctionnement est lui aussi singulier en proposant un offre complète nuit+ petit déjeuner + Fika + diner léger mais suffisant pour un prix très abordable ( le concept comme à la maison est bien respecté). Petit bémol pour la chambre un peu décevante par rapport aux photos présentées, ou peut-être bravo au photographe. La vue de notre chambre quant à elle reste exceptionnelle avec de beaux levés et couchers de soleil.

Fantastisk beliggenhet, men jeg fikk et rom med utsikt til "lyssalen" - et rom inni hotellet, og det var ikke pent. Veldig lytt på rommet, både ovenfra og fra dette store "rommet". Ellers veldig hyggelig personale og nydelig utsikt i restauranten.
