Ageing hotel with qualities, but high price tag.

Nice hotel with outstanding views. But almost comically overpriced, as the whole building is in need of a refresh.

Excellent staff, very good breakfast, clean, modern room, worst bathroom design ever. Architect obviously thought to cleverly fit everything into a closer space but must have never tried to sit at the toilet or take a shower. Coumd jave worked if he had turned things around.

Rommet hadde teppe på gulvet, det er en meget negativ opplevelse. Gardinene var ikke lystette. Bade var lite og når dusjdøren ikke kan foldes sammen tar den opp mye av plassen/ deler badet i to. Frokosten var veldig god! Meget godt utvalg og en ble møtt med hyggelig smil om morgenen!

Veldig hyggelig personale, både i resepsjonen og restauranten. Angående renhold på rommene, kunne det vært bedre opplyst når vi kom at vi selv måtte gi beskjed om vi ville ha nye hånduker og oppredde senger hver dag. Der ble det en misforståelse.

Veldig hyggelig hotell m flott utsikt og god comfort. Frokosten var super og betjeningen var veldig hyggelig. Hotellbaren kunne hatt litt bedre utvalg f.eks liten vits å ha gin i barskapet uten å ha tonic 😀, men trivelig betjening.
Utsikten fra rommet til båten som tar oss videre.

Huoneen varustelu tasossa parantamisen varaa

Olimme ns. koirahuoneessa. Huoneessa ei ollut juomalaseja, WC-paperia pieni jämä. Olisi ollut kiva lisä jos huoneessa olisi jääkaappi. Lisäksi peitot olivat todella paksut ehkä hyvät talvella, mutta kesäaikaan ne olivat ehdottomasti liian paksut.

Anbefales ikke

Vi er ikke fornøyd med oppholdet. Vi hadde bestilt overnatting i to døgn, men reiste etter en natt. Årsak: Det var veldig lytt på hotellet. I etasjen under oss var det bryllup med høy musikk, vi fikk ikke sove før etter klokka 02:00 på natten. Også veldig lytt mellom rommene. Badet var svært lite, nærmest et kott. Det manglet håndklær. Vi ble krevd for betaling sjøl om vi hadde forhåndsbetalt, måtte vise kvittering. Senga var god, frokosten var god.

midt på treet

Greit hotell. Varmt rom uten aircondision.( når været var varmt) Små bad uten avtrekk. Skitt i dusjkummen , ellers ok renhold. Vonde puter. Virket som spisesalen var for liten i forhold til antall rom på hotellet, noe som tidvis førte til "stinn brakke" og vanskelig å få plass. Men maten var god. Lett for å tråkke i reinsdyrmøkk på utsiden. India har hellige kuer som går i gatene. Hammerfest har reinsdyr
