Very friendly front desk staff. Excellent breakfast buffet, which included the best smoked salmon I've ever had. Cosy cafe dining room with an open fire. The bacalao was delicious.

We stayed just one night at this hotel on our way to Tromso. Lots of parking, rooms were really clean and modern. Coffee, tea, microwave, kettle were in the corridors rather than in individual room. But the upside is that you get proper coffee from the machine and you can heat up food in the microwave, which we did for our dinner as we arrived quite late. The breakfast in the morning was also fantastic with lots of hot cooked food, with plenty of choice on offer. Would love to stay there again for sure.

Nice, convenient place to stay

This was a nice stay. The room was very comfortable and clean. The location was quite nice, near a fjord/river. It is also very near some gas stations and grocery stores, and only an hour away from Tromso. Their food was okay, not great, but not terrible.
