Lovely hotel in a great location. Breakfast was absolutely fabulous. Disappointing that car parking was not free for hotel guests. We were told by reception that it would cost 250 nok for 24 hours, but we were in fact charged 322 nok for far less than 24 hours. It can work out quite expensive if staying for a few days.

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.
