The two front desk agents, Therese and Joan were amazing. Both were attentive and made everyone feel welcome. Therese checked me in directly and Joan stopped by to offer conversation as well as a warm welcome. Great start to the stay! The room itself was fine. Clean and we'll attended. The bed wasn't anything spectacular, which you might hope for at this price point. I was out on adventures (snowmobiling, wandering, etc.) so I never had an opportunity to utilize the sauna and jacuzzi. However, I met a couple who had used it and said that it was enjoyable. Breakfast was included and was delicious. I had a burger and drinks at the bar and these were good as well. My only curiosity is they have a beautiful dining room with great views that is only open during breakfast and dinner hours. It closes at 10 am and reopen at 6 pm, so it basically sits empty for 8 hours a day. It would be nice to be able to sit in this space during the day to have a cup of coffee, etc. Seems a bit underutilized. The staff were amazing. Everyone I encountered was attentive and thoughtful. Camila checked me out, as well as offered me a cup of coffee while I wanted for transportation to the airport. The location is stunning as well (walking distance to the high street as well as the sea). Highly recommended. I cannot wait to return!"

From the location to the staff in all areas of the hotel you couldn't fault it. The hotel was execptionally clean, the public areas and the rooms alike. There were plenty of quiet areas if you didn't want to sit in the main bar area, not that it was ever rowdy. The food in the resturant was exceptional. As was the breakfast which was included in our stay. The bar food and cocktails were also very good. The view from the resturant down to the town and fjord was beautiful. The walk into town was about a 1km and we did it every day with no problem. It is actually well lit. The sauna was a lovely way to wind down after a days exploring. We would definitely stay here again. From start to finish it was and incredible stay."
