Pros:

Das Frühstücksbuffet mit landestypischen Angeboten ist sehr vielfältig, frisch und lecker. Das Zimmer war sehr modern und geschmackvoll eingerichtet,.die Betten waren bequem und es war sehr sauber.
Die Lage ist unschlagbar und zwar sowohl zur Innenstadt als auch zum Fährhafen.

Cons:

Wegen der Bauarbeiten gab es viel Lärm, Saunabereich war auch davon betroffen, auch dort wurde gebaut. Im Zimmer gab es nicht genug Platz für Kofferablage. In der Sauna fehlen Anzeigen für Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und Zeit. Im TV keine internationale Sender und keine Möglichkeit für Streamdienste.

Very stylish hotel
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location for the harbour and Viking ferry terminal. The rooms are stylish and the beds very comfortable.

Cons:

There was a lot of long hair left on the shelf in the bathroom and the mass of Canadians not using their indoor voices.
