    higher floor

    Request a room on a higher floor for a quieter night if you’re staying on a weekend, as noise from the bar can be quite loud.

    superb breakfast

    Consider utilizing the nearby street for free parking instead of the hotel parking lot to save on fees.

    clean room
    great view

    perfectly positioned for urban exploration and seaside relaxation

    I enjoyed my stay in a clean, well-laid-out room with an amazing view, and being just a few steps away from Odderoya Museumshavn and gorgeous Otterdalsparken made my city strolls incredibly enjoyable. the hotel staff were friendly which added to my great experience, although the early morning noise from the shipping yard could be a little disruptive for light sleepers.

    The room had an ocean view that was breathtaking, making mornings special. It was spacious with a comfy bed. Amenities like a flat-screen TV, minibar, and a seating area. The breakfast featured a wide variety of fresh foods and baked goods, perfect to kickstart the day. The staff managed the busy breakfast rush really well.

    breakfast buffet
    limited pool hours

    We had a wonderful time enjoying the amazing views and the breakfast buffet was fantastic, especially for the kids. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made our stay so much easier with three children.

    In my children’s opinion, the pool hours could be extended for more family fun.

    Nice stay with a view

    I had a pretty good time here! The view of the harbor was awesome, and the breakfast had so many yummy options. Just a bummer about the slow service at dinner. we waited forever to be seated and felt ignored. Also, the wifi worked like a charm!

    culinary feast
    spacious family room
    proximity to fish restaurants
    cramped bathroom
    breakfast mix-up

    The breakfast was a total feast, with fruit juice that could make any morning feel fancy! We loved the spacious Family Room and how the hotel was so close to charming fish restaurants just a stroll away.

    The bathroom felt a bit cramped, and there was a mix-up with our breakfast seating, but they did their best to make it work for us.

    breakfast buffet
    long check-in wait
    lack of staff assistance

    Excellent breakfast buffet with diverse options.

    My experience was frustrating from the start. Check-in took an eternity, stretching over an hour because only one person was managing the lobby. I felt abandoned during check-out too, with no staff available to assist, just a bowl for dropping off room cards. I even misplaced some belongings and was met with poor communication when I inquired about them—only one earbud was found, and I doubt it was mine.

    outdated decor
    cleanliness issues

    The room decor felt outdated and worn, with the furniture showing signs of neglect. There were issues with noise from the club upstairs, causing disruptions during the night. The breakfast choices were limited, and the fruit offered felt less than fresh, which is disappointing for a hotel of this caliber. Add in some cleanliness issues with the bathroom, including a less than ideal experience with soap quality, and it makes for a stay that’s not quite up to par.
