Very nice hotel indeed. Nothing bad to say about this place.

8/10 Very good

Great hotel located in the center of town. Rooms are spacious but the hotel lacks ample seating for guests since they close the restaurant in between breakfast and dinner.

This hotel is situated in the city's center. It is easy to access the supermarket, restaurants, and bars. The front desk was very nice; they could book spontaneous activities if needed.
Bryan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was great to stay here. The rooms were spacious and warm. They include breakfast (buffet style) that has hot and cold food, a variety of juices, hot coffee and tea; and plenty of options to pick from. The reception staff were professional and friendly; and very willing to help you. I would stay here again.

Modern comfort

Clean lines, modern, comfortable, quiet, well located in town at the end of the main pedestrian center, easy to reach by road but not on the road, airport public bus transfer. We loved our stay! Only down side was that, and this is with many hotels, you can not get it dark enough in the room.

Excellent service and breakfast. Very clean and quiet. Wifi was very slow in the room we got this time. Was much better on a previous stay (and room).

+ Sentral beliggenhet + Svært hyggelig personale - Rommet kunne absolutt vært renere ved innsjekk - Svært lytt. Fikk rom rett med døren og våknet av at folk gikk inn og ut og pratet gjennom hele første natten. Hørte også veldig godt aktivitet i rommene over oss.

Great Stay

Stayed three nights. Everything worked. Had a room facing the back - quiet. Cozy (small) lobby sitting area, coffee/tea available all day. The breakfast was delicious and a very wide variety.
Ellen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ruhig und zentral gelegen, gemütliche Atmosphäre. Bei Mitternachtssonne könnten die Vorhänge dichter sein da doch sehr viel Licht reinkommt ins Zimmer da die Sonne nachts auf das Fenster scheint. Außerdem wird der Vorhang durch die Sonne warm und das Zimmer auch. Ein Außenrollo wäre besser oder das Rollo mit reflektierendem, wärmeabweisenden Material versehen.

Très bon séjour, les chambres sont confortables et propres. Personnel amical et prêt à aider. Les restaurant est de bonne qualité et les service y est professionnel.
