This hotel is very well located on the water, close to the central part of town. The room and staff were nice, but the AC in the room did not work and the windows could not be opened. It was hot and stuffy in the room, making it uncomfortable to sleep.

Incredible breakfest- lax, herring, delicious cheeses, and the standard breakfast items - eggs, yogurt, bacon, etc. perhaps the best breakfast offerings of all the hotels we stayed at.

A great place to stay the weekend.
This is a fantastic hotel in a perfect location. The superior room although not large was extremely comfortable. Super comfy bed. Breakfast was mix of continental and British. The hotel is joined on to Aquarama swimming pool which will keep the kids entertained for hours. A supermarket is available just outside the building and it is a 5 minute walk into the center of town to where all the restaurants.

Good location.
Clean but rooms could need some renovations. Slow checkin and checkout. Expensive parking. Good location. Perfect for children. Dinner buffet not worth 300nok!

Best hotel breakfast this summer!!
Great service! We got a call before check in from the hotel, who just wanted to be sure that the details in our booking was ok. Nice and friendly staff, and welcoming Ice cream desserts for the kids! The breakfast was nothing but marvelous! With very good healthy options. Loved the coconut based youghurt and the big bowl of avocados 👍. The hotel was very crowded though. Too crowded to keep distance due to Covid-19 restrictions.
