Important information:

The Norwegian America Line’s venerable headquarters opened their doors in 1919. With an old building comes responsibility with maintenance and rehabilitation, that is why we are now doing rehabilitation on our roof and facade. The rehabilitation will continue until July 2023, and there might be some noise during the daytime. All outlets and services are still open as normal. We apologize for any inconveniences.
A deposit may be required at the property.

Fabulous hotel
Pros:

The location was incredible, just a short walk from the train station which connects you to everywhere. It is also well placed for walking to anywhere in the city centre. The hotel is impressive, in its history and its quality. The staff were so friendly, we especially liked the lady who attended to our room each day. Our room was fabulous, with such a comfortable bed. We went to the jazz club, which was amazing. We dined twice at the restaurant which was also excellent. We loved everything about our stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

Cons:

Nothing.

Excellent hotel in a very bad moment
Pros:

Location and staff

Cons:

The noice from the construction every day at 8 am, very annoying. This I think should be warned at the moment of the reservation, it is not fair to find this as a surprise
