Todo muy bien
Pros:

La habitación era amplia y bien aislada, con vistas al puerto. Las camas muy cómodas. La dueña muy amable, hay que llamar a un teléfono cuando llegas y vino muy rápido, nos recibió y nos enseñó la habitación. Cuando abrimos la cama la sábana bajera tenía unas manchas y tras llamar vino y la cambió pidiendo disculpas. Nos calentó agua para preparar una sopa de cena y durante el desayuno estaba atenta para ayudarte o reponer la comida; no entiendo los comentarios que te mira mal, no es cierto, y el desayuno tiene lo básico para empezar el día, no es tan completo como en otros sitios pero está bien.

Cons:

El sistema de ducha con mampara que se pliega sobre si misma, ya que luego queda todo el suelo mojado, pero es lo que hay en muchos sitios. Pondría un hervidor en la habitación.

Praktisch, aber minimalistisch ausgestattet. Kaffee und Tee stehen den Tag über kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Blick auf den Hafen.

Cons:

Sehr kleines Zimmer, nur wenig Ablageflächen.

Casa tipica sul mare
Pros:

L'atmosfera del posto è fantastica, la sala comune ha una terrazza sul mare. C'è sempre the e caffè caldo a disposizione. Il proprietario è stato molto gentile e premuroso.

Cons:

Colazione completa ma migliorabile. È solo una piccola nota, per il resto tutto ok.

Ein wunderbarer Ort und die Walbeobachtungen waren waren toll
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war wie erwartet sehr schlicht, aber modern und sauber.
Wir wurden nett empfangen und es gab kostenlosen
Kaffee. Der Blick von der Terrasse war wunderbar und morgens gab es zum Frühstück einen Blick auf Wale im Fjord, das war toll.

Cons:

Wir hatten leider ein Zimmer zur Straßenseite hin und das war laut.

Good, clean, well located. Nicely laid out and value ok for the money.
Pros:

Decent breakfast. Loved having a sink in my room!!!!! Great to have toilet and shower in separate rooms when shared. Nice and clean. Great to have coffee, tea and water available at all times.

Cons:

More interaction with staff would have been nice. A bit more decorative accents eventually will make it even better!
