Si je pouvais mettre la note de 10++++ je le ferais ! Nous étions logés dans la partie moderne. Très belle chambre avec salon et balcon avec vue sur le fjord. L'hôtel historique est vraiment magnifique. Le petit déjeuner est composé d'un très grand choix de mets et est servi dans la belle salle historique. Plus que parfait !
