This charming hotel is very central and an easy walk to the harbour and other tourist sites. Our room was a good size and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent in terms of the offerings with a good mix of local dishes. Only complaint was the hot food was only warm at best - the heat lamps did nothing. The gym was excellent. A good range of cardio equipment and free weights as well as some weight machines.

Lovely overnight stay after a cruise ending in Oslo. Checked in at 10.30 and were amazed at being given our room keys immediately. Location was ideal for sightseeing and the breakfast buffet was great. We would definitely recommend and will hopefully return.
