This is a terrific hotel, right on the water, making it easy to get on a cruise. Amazing breakfast with so many food options. Beautiful dining room. Spacious rooms and lovely views. I would stay again in this hotel!

It’s a great place to stay, close to the port and walking distance to bus/train stations. Breakfast was fantastic, area is relaxing and very quiet. Will stay again.

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!

Terrific view out the windows on upper floors. Loved watching the ships come and go. The breakfast buffet was huge with varied choices and excellent dining room! One of the best buffets ever! I’d stay here again for it’s location close to bus station and best restaurants.

Nice hotel room
Nice room, bad storage solution in the family room. There were no drawers or shelves for our clothes. The hotel is next to the container port and can be a bit noisy but not too disturbing. Very good bar and restaurant. Recommended.
