I would recommend the waterside rooms, which have incredibly beautiful views. The first room we were given was on the backside of the building and was rather dreary and small, so we asked for the upgrade and were very pleased. Also, the staff was welcoming and friendly, taking time to chat and help us with other aspects of our travel.
The hotel could use a bit of updating, but the views and the staff made for a pleasant stay. This was a first and convenient stopping place after the express boat from Tromso on our trip to the Vesteralen and Lofoten Islands.
