It was so good that we shall not only return, but also recommend it to others - in a heartbeat.
Pros:

We loved everything about this hotel, from its truly fabulous waterfront location to the very enjoyable stroll along the harbour into town and to the ferry port and bus station.

There is also a supermarket practically next door, which stocks pretty much everything you could need — incredibly convenient.

The staff were polite, professional, friendly and extremely helpful throughout our stay. It was also lovely to be able to enjoy a meal in the restaurant while taking in the beautiful sea views.

Our room was huge! It felt extremely spacious, comfortable and welcoming, and the cleaning staff did a fantastic job.

What more can I say? The whole experience really did feel like a home away from home, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would happily return!

Pros:

Hotel kousek od letiště. Večeře dle týdenního menu. Tedy pouze jedno jídlo a k němu salátový bar, takže když je uvařeno zrovna něco, co člověk nejí, tak má smůlu. Naopak snídaně velmi pestrá v bufetovém stylu, kde si určitě vybere každý. Pokoj byl klidný, vzhledem k přítomnosti koberců všude nebylo nic slyšet. Hotel nemá vlastní parkování, ale v okolí na ulici bylo míst dost a v čase 17:00-8:00 se neplatí. Ve zbylém čase je možnost parkování omezena na 3 hodiny. Takže pro využití na 1 noc po příletu nebo naopak při odletu je to dostačující.

Schoon en mooi hotel met mooie ligging bij centrum
Pros:

Wat een mooi en schoon hotel. Vriendelijk personeel. Aan fjord. Vernieuwde promenade dus je loopt zo centrum in. Schitterend noorderlicht gezien. Al je eten zit erbij. Ontbijt, koffie en thee, cake en avondeten. En dat voor die prijs. Ik snap het niet want zijn 15 dagen op pad en voor de meeste huisjes enz betaal ik al 150e per nacht. Heerlijk gegeten. Wij hadden wrap en taco. Er is nog sauna en sportschool gratis maar niet geweest. Goed bed. Mooie kamer. Alleen in bad douchen vind ik niet fijn. Maar dat ligt aan mij. En deurtje ging steeds open waardoor vloer zeiknat. Maar zeker voor deze prijs gewoon boeken. Ontbijt was ook top en uitgebreid

Cons:

Douchen in bad vinden wij niet fijn. Er zit half deurtje maar die gaat steeds over bad heen en dus vloer zeiknat. En mijn schuim kwam via put en rooster in vloer omhoog. Maar dat was het ook wel. Je kan deze gewoon boeken. Zeker voor die prijs met eten erbij. Het was top. Parkeren kan tegen betaling onder hotel of aan de straat maar moet je wel voor deel betalen. Alleen vrij van 5u in avond tot 8u in morgen.
