Nice hotel which does not distinguish itself in any way. Very nice breakfast. Hotel restaurant only serves buffet and hamburgers, but the hamburgers are quite tasty. I'm not really a buffet person, so I did not try that, but it didn't look to good. Hallway outside the hotel room was a bit messy. Service in both the lobby and the... more

From the FO to the restaurant staff, courtesy and friendliness was clearly expressed. Staff were quietly efficient and with a human touch. Rooms were well-done, with sea-view, just like the restaurant. Food was excellent for a vegetarian like me. Met a young mother who was staying there for 28 days more after having been there for the past 45 days... more

we spent one night in Alesund to break our trip on the Hurtigruten. Unfortunately the ship got in very early on a Sunday morning when Alesund is basically a ghost town. Lucky for us we were able to check into our room at 9am without having to pay any extra fee. The hotel was clean and the room was really... more

I stayed in this hotel on two occasions as a starting and ending point for the business trip to Geiranger. The staff as very helpful (even when they made a mistake because they charged me double, they returned the money in no time). There is wireless Internet in room free of charge, and very stable and fast. It is near... more

We booked a standard double through Hotels.com and received a harborview suite. It literally felt like we were in the water and there were only 5 rooms like this in the whole hotel. We don't know why we got the upgrade but we sure loved it. The room was well appointed and clean but could have used some updating. I... more

We stayed here for one night and dont think the hotel was that great to be no. 1 in Alesund. I think the hotel is too over-priced to what it has to offer. We had a room on the top floor, but very close to the elevator which made some noise. The view was not good. The room itself is... more

Don't believe the website: There are no 'Family Four Superior' rooms, despite the web site claiming there are and allowing you to book them. According to the website the superior rooms have harbour views, but there are none that accommodate four people. Front desk were kind but useless and no managers came despite my request to express my disappointment The... more

My 5 star rating is in comparison to the competition in Alesund. So, she wouldn't get a 5 star if we were in Singapore, but hey, this is my review so it's my perogative :-) Anyway, I had a ground floor room with a poor view. Some rooms should have a good view of the harbour area and sea which... more

We visited the Scandic Alesund with our two kids (ages four and two). In general, the experience was a good one - the room was large, they were pretty well equipped for children (children's menu in the restaurant, balloons and crayons at reception). The breakfast buffet was fine, though crowded with tour groups. Location is good - along the waterfront... more
