The hotel is in an excellant location and right on the harbour within walking distance of most attractions. Buses stop nearby and the airport express stops right outside. Breakfast was well stocked and had hot and cold food. Room was cleaned at your request and you only had to ask if you needed anything. Myself and my grandson had a lovely stay

Fantastic holiday! The hotel was beautifully maintained, and the views from the superior rooms were spectacular! Main pick-up spot for the majority of tours, so you can roll out of bed and see the fjords (or roll right back into bed after a late-night watching the northern lights). Staff were friendly and helpful, couldn't fault anything. Thank you!

We checked in to our room. Thought it was a shame it looked over the back ( not facing the harbour) but when I spoke to reception they moved us. A great room with all facilities and clean. Views over the harbour were brilliant and general location was 10/10

The property is located very close to the water and is within walking distance from the main shopping area. The airport bus stops right next to the hotel entrance which is wonderful not having to drag heavy luggage through he streets to get to the hotel. There are many places to eat and drink around the hotel. Room wise it is not a big room but just enough space for a couple with two luggage. Room amenities is simple and basic but comes with a safe which is helpful. If you spend lots of time outside then the room is fine. The hotel breakfast is good and kept us going till dinner after a heavy breakfast. Remember when checking in to let the reception knows if you want the room clean everyday otherwise when you return after a day out to find your room the same as you left it in the morning.
