Comfortable hotel in a great location.
Nice location and hotel that is recently been remodeled, but preserving a 1960’s Scandinavian vibe. Even some great pieces of mid century modern Scandinavian furniture in the lobby lounge. Comfortable beds and room and nice shower. One of the best breakfast buffets we have had in our 3-week Norway trip. Short walk to the harbor and also the pedestrian shopping street with a good choice of restaurants and shops. Worth paying the extra for the ocean view for both the view, and also reduces the early morning noise from the container port next door.

Stayed in the ocean view suite in the older section of the hotel. Items listed in the room description not in the room ( i.e. safe, phone). Breakfast was good but very busy with families, arrive early. Bed was comfortable.

We chose a room with a veranda - and it was perfect. Plenty of room and a small sitting room too. Breakfast was a help-yourself-feast. We didn't manage to secure a booking for dinner on the first night so cannot comment on the food as we ate with family after that, There are, however, lots and lots of really good fish restaurants only minutes away and several fast food places too. The harbour is a delight to walk around and is almost on the doorstep. Loved the staff, the hotel and its central location.

The breakfast buffet was the best we had in all of southern Norway! We stayed at 7 different hotels during our visit to Norway, loving all our breakfast buffets at all locations. However, this place took it a notch up!
