Pros:

L'hôtel est très bien situé, en face la gare pour aller à Myrdal et Bergen et le port pour faire la croisière sur le fjord.
Le petit déjeuner est très copieux.
La chambre avec le balcon a une vue magnifique qui s'ouvre sur le port et les montagnes.

Tolle Lage, etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Pros:

Die Lage

Cons:

Es gab nur Filterkaffe zum Frühstück. Der Weg zum Parkplatz war lang, was besonders bei Schlechtwetter ein Problem ist.

Overhyped and not worth its high rating or premium price—the property is dated and run-down, the historic section isn’t
Pros:

The location is excellent, just steps away from the train station. However, the hotel has unfortunately lost much of its fjord view due to the giant cruise ship dock and other facilities that have been built in between.

Cons:

The property is way overhyped and does not deserve its high ratings. We stayed in two rooms one in the historic section and one in the newer section and felt genuinely misled by the reviews and expectations they created.

The property is old, run-down, and in need of a major refresh. I love historic hotels, but this did not feel like a grand historic hotel; the historic section in particular did not justify the premium price. Do not pay extra to stay in the historic section.

Set your expectations closer to a Motel 6 than a grand historic hotel, and you may be less disappointed. Based on our experience with both the historic and newer sections, this property is simply not worth the high rating or the premium prices it commands.

We stayed here as a necessity but I wouldn’t stay again. Not worth the cost at all. Quite disappointed.
Pros:

Great location in the fjords. Perfect view from the room balcony.

Cons:

Bed was uncomfortable, very thin threadbare towels, no sense of luxury for the overinflated price of a room. Not even nice coffee or biscuits in the room.
