    We loved our stay, just a shame we were unaware they were closing for winter.

    We were unaware that the whole area / hotel shuts down over the winter. We actually left a day early or we wouldn't have been able to catch our ferry! More info on website about this may have been helpful.

    The newer part of the hotel was not as nice as the older part. I should have spent the extra money to be in the classic section.

    Lovely hotel in great location, helpful staff. The breakfast had lots of options and was wonderful.

    Great location, good food, and lovely view from room’s balcony. Attractive small town with nice hiking trails. Conveniently close to the ferry dock. Great spot for an overnighter on the fjord.

    The only reason we gave this hotel an 8 is because it is the drop off eating place for bus after bus after bus so it was always loud with rude people who didn’t care about the patrons.

    The gentleman who checked us in was fantastic! Great personality and full of information we needed with a smile and a joke when it was needed. The ladies who were there later and in the morning were rather snooty but I probably would be too dealing with the bus loads (see below). Food was good as well.

    Shower half glass partition leaked; only comforter (to warm) provided and no extra blanket; no instructions on how to lower thermostat: breakfast started at 7am and ferry riders needed that to start at 6:30 so they would not have to scramble.

    Great breakfast, comfortable bed, superb location, friendly staff.

    Worth it to pay for the view, excellent dinner buffet, but expect a basic room.

    I wish the room had a tea/coffee maker, or some bottled water or even drinking glasses — there was none of that. The bathroom was clean but only had a soap dispenser attached to the wall (no other bath products). It was a very basic room overall, with a bed that was sort of soft (not the best but not the worst quality).

    I paid extra for a fjord view room, and we got a room with a balcony in the "modern" building on the 8th floor. The view was spectacular and well worth the extra cost. The view made the entire stay! The dinner buffet was bountiful and delicious. The breakfast buffet was good, but not as amazing as the dinner. We also ate in the hotel bar one night and that food was well prepared also.

    The dinner was too crowded and staff was rude. We were expecting a better welcome as guests but were forced to sit near a large group when we asked for a window seat. My friend got Covid a couple of days later and we suspect it was from where we sat. Hotel guests should be given priority and not forced to sit next to huge tour groups.

    The location was wonderful and our view was spectacular. The lobby is gorgeous and immaculate.

    Grand building and grand pricing but very basic rooms. The rooms didn’t match the image of hotel or the pricing. No opportunity for making tea or coffee, this had to be purchased at the bar. Hand and shower soap only items in bathroom. Minimal number of towels for two. No floor mat or wash cloths.

    Great location. Grand building. Great views. Great breakfast spread.

    The restaurant meals were very expensive. There was an inclusive deal including dinner but that was not advertised on booking.com. That would have made it more affordable.

    The view from the room and restaurant was spectacular. The sitting rooms were beautiful with a wonderful view

    The modern building is really hideous but nothing they can do about that now, the view is excellent on the fjord side. However this hotel is very expensive and I’d expect more attention to some details like the furniture on the terrace, the lack of tea/coffee making in the room, and lack of basics like shampoo.

    Gorgeous view! Buffet is excellent and so is the staff at the restaurant. I’d also recommend lunch at the bar. The lounges were elegant and perfect for relaxing with a coffee in the evening. While the room price was expensive, I found the cost of food and drinks to not be overpriced. We had a really nice stay and it’s worthwhile to experience the beauty of this hotel and the surroundings.

    Nothing.

    The location of the hotel was just perfect and the view of the fjord from the room was spectacular. The room in the more modern part was very comfortable, spacious, quiet and very clean. The breakfast offered a lot of choice and was in the restaurant room with a great view of the fjord. The old part contains several lounges and a very comfortable terrace which can be used by hotel guests. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

    I felt a little pressure to eat in one of the restaurants in the hotel. We found dinner at a quaint place with an amazing story just steps from the hotel.

    The breakfast was wonderful! The dining room looked over the Fjord and was spectacular. I wish I could have stayed another night.
