“Disappointing and not a 4 star experience. Breakfast stressful, room basic and service fairly poor.”
Location was central. Room was clean and adequate. Staff came in each day to make the beds and change the towels.

“Expensive for what it is”
I really want to rave about this property but it’s extremely expensive for what it is. Reformed rooms, comfortable bed, delicious dinner at the bar (paid for in addition to the room), great service, and lovely view. Parking available at the property.

“Characterful hotel”
It is a lovely hotel with its own style. Very pleasant public rooms with lots of character. The food is excellent. The location is stunning. Our room was comfortable and had a balcony with good views.

“Amazing experience and stay, takes full advantage of Norway's nature and its beauty”
The views from the hotel (everywhere practically) are fantastic, very relaxing and they instill a sense of happiness and wellbeing, but that is what Norway is known for, although the hotel is perfectly positioned to take advantage of it's surroundings.

The breakfast was served in the old heritage dining room. The place was huge and high ceilings. The views of the fjords and village were stunning. The breakfast variety was best quality and variety. Myself and my husband are vegetarians but still had many options.

“A wonderful hotel in a fabulous location”
Beautiful , old world hotel in a stunning location; staff very nice; room was big and view from the room was lovely; grounds well maintained; grocery store and restaurants near by; Restaurant evening meal was over-whelmed on our first night there--a tour group...we therefore ate in the bar area and the food was delicious. Tea and coffee are available in the lounge area in the evening and this is a wonderful treat; Breakfast is outstanding and the view from the breakfast room is wonderful;
