We had a confirmed booking for a night at this hotel, made several months beforehand. When we arrived off a flight from the UK, the receptionist rudely said "You must go to another hotel". She admitted they had overbooked, but at first gave no apology. We were ahead of a large coach party, and I pointed out we were first.... More

We were given a "junior suite" which was large, modern and spotlessly clean, but unfortunately situated next to an extractor fan which ran all night. The room was hot and had no air conditioning, so we had to have the window open despite the noise. There is a lift, but to access the building there is a flight of steps... More

Alesund stands out from many other Norwegian towns as it seems to have a lot of buildings of character and interest rather than just being built for purpose. And the same can be said for this hotel – it is in a lovely old building right in the middle of the small town centre and about 3 minutes walk from... More

I stayed at this hotel for 85 days. I was on a business trip. 85 days are long enough to find all the flaws in a place, but I couldnt find a single one. Perfect location. right in the city center. Perfectly furnished rooms. The rooms were cleaned daily. The breakfast was a grand affair with all types of cereals,... More

We were here for 3 nights at the start of a trip, and had a good quiet room overlooking the road. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, functioning TV but what we really enjoyed was the Art Nouveau design and sensitively restored decor. Good breakfast buffet and free coffee/tea easily available at any time. Though some other hotels are on the harbourside,... More

This Art Nouveau hotel has been renovated. I had a good-sized room with a view of the street. It was comfortable. The breakfast buffet was pretty good. The front desk staff was friendly.

We had a spacious junior suite at this lovely Art Nouveau hotel, conveniently located for all the attractions in Alesund. However, the reception staff were not the friendliest in the world, in particular a woman who scowled instinctively whenever a guest requested anything! The breakfasts were good, and there were plenty of restaurants nearby.

We seem to have been lucky to have got the junior suite for just under £100 a night in August. We had a nice big room with a decent sized table, a chaise longue and two armachairs, as well as a desk with chair. The windows looked out over the cobbled street which was fine in the day but a... More

The best thing about this hotel is the location, which I think is among the best in the city. We were lucky, I think, to get a very spacious corner front room overlooking the street in front. The breakfast one morning (early) was good and the other morning was poor (late and weekend) as there were practically nothing to eat... More
