Great view, but skip it for another fjord facing hotel
Pros:

Gorgeous view, extremely friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

Room was very bare bones, although the view was great. Seagulls were absolutely ferocious and attacked anyone who went outside. Expect to be surrounded by big tourists groups.

Great location and excellent breakfast
Pros:

Great location and nice garden area for our dog

Cons:

Charging for the jacuzzi outside and asking 300 kr a day for our dog who makes less mess than many humans!
