Très agréable
Pros:

Hotel propre et bien situé au bord du fjord
Boisson chaude et croissant compris dans le prix pour le petit petit-déjeuner.
Lits confortables

Cons:

Un peu bruyant au moment du coucher entre 20h et 22h. Les portes claquent, les gens parlent fort et on entend uriner les voisins.

Pros:

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Told us about a party that night and gave us earplugs.

Cons:

While we appreciated the warning about the party, it is a place for sleep after 11:00 pm and not a disco. However, it sure sounded like one.

Lovely, quirky town in beautiful spot right on edge of fjord. Nice little private patio as our room at back. Great indoor and outdoor seating areas in communal spaces and range of games to borrow
Coffee and croissants adequate breakfast for us

Pros:

Loved the location and the view of the fjord from our room. Likes the bar downstairs and the hammock outside the hotel.

Cons:

Unfortunately, there was a party going on the day we arrived with music that lasted until 2:00 AM but other than that, it was a very pleasant stay.
