    Double-glazing of the table we were moved to for dinner had failed, and spoiled the view.

    Warm in the subzero temperatures. Bright rooms. Excellent view of the harbour from our room. Enjoyable breakfast.

    Staff was not very friendly - it felt like they were not very happy with their job. The place is quite run down too.

    Next to the harbour, comfortable beds, breakfast ok.

    Kettle was provided but there was no tea cups. Bedroom has a shelf along wall above beds, which makes it uncomfortable to sit up in bed and you can really easily hit your head. Breakfast was good but the first day there was no water in coffee machine so we couldn't prepare coffee. Second day the drip tray for coffee machine needed to be emptied so we couldn't prepare the coffee again. Problem was that there was no staff that could help. I would empty it myself but there was no acessible sink in the dining area.

    The room was clean and comfortable and had a nice view of the harbour.

    I didn't have a problem with anything - it's obviously not a luxury hotel but it wasn't luxury prices, so it was fine.

    The room was clean and comfortable and had a nice view of the harbour. The room was a good size and it was nice to sit by the window and enjoy the view. The hotel is looking a little tired, but for the price paid it was fine. The breakfast was good.

    We ate dinner at a hotel. Both meals were really delicious. However, my wife's vegan meal was almost without protein. It would be nice if you could still improve your vegan option including more protein.

    Good location and nice room with a seaside view. Good breakfast.

    We missed having team and coffee-making facilities in the room or in a communal area. I wish more hotels provided this service. The hot water dispenser at the breakfast buffet was difficult to use and the water does not stay hot - unlike the coffee dispensers. Supplies at the breakfast buffet seemed to take a little too long to be replenished by staff.

    The Vardo Hotel is in an excellent location right on the harbour, with the Tourist Information Centre and the ferry to Hornoya Island almost next door and other key tourist attractions only a short walk away. The rooms are light and pleasant, although a harbour view would be better than a street view, and we appreciated having a fridge. We had a very good meal at the hotel’s restaurant, which has views of the harbour, and the staff were friendly, efficient and helpful.

    Unclear breakfast time. TV told wrong time. No time information in key card or room. Shower was almost impossible to adjust. Really hot water too easily by mistake. Water kettle in room but not any mug for tea or coffee.

    Kettle provided but no cups/mugs, nor any tea/coffee. Limited menu(2 fish dishes, 2 meat dishes) - no vegetarian or vegan dishes listed on menu (but may have been available - we didn't ask. Bedroom has an annoying strip/shelf along wall above beds, which makes it difficult/uncomfortable to sit up in bed (only 1 pillow provided). Single use plastic cups in bathroom- shame.

    Great location, just near the harbour. Lovely big room with view of harbour. Little touches like boot stand for wet footwear in corridor were great. Limited menu, but lovely food. Beds comfortable.

    No elevator. Small signs of wear in the room. Water gets all over the bathroom floor when showering(it evaporates quickly because of good floor heating)

    I strongly recommend this accomodation, nothing to report.

    Hotel conveniently located in the town center with nice views to the harbour and very close to the tourist info/departure for Hornoya and Pomor Museum. The fort is also at a short walking distance. The hotel is comfortable and there is ample parking on the street. Staff very kind and helpful.
