Norwegian Rock and Roll

The hotel was clean and the service was good. The breakfast - included in the cost of stay - was tasty. There is a large parking lot adjacent to the hotel where you can park, though figuring out parking was initially a bit confusing. The hotel rooms either do not have air conditioning or their air conditioning was not working well. My room, which was in the sun, was too warm and was equipped with a rotating fan. My father's room, which was not in the sun, was quite pleasant and had no fan. We very much appreciated the museum's rock-and-roll themed decorations. Many Norwegian musicians started their career in the city of Namsos, where this museum is located, and the museum celebrates their work. When we stayed there, a tour bus from a 1970s rock band was parked near the entrance to the hotel - a bus belonging to the Norwegian progressive rock band "Prudence." After we left the museum, we listened to that band's music while driving around Norway. Fun!

Namsos Rock City Review

Decided to stay overnight after travelling through the area. The hotel itself is rather unique and has a nice entrance and bar area. Dining area also very tidy and has all the suitable antibac dispensers/gloves etc. The room was clean and the design might not be to everyone’s taste, but we enjoyed the artwork and the music theme of the hotel. Staff were pleasant and the site is located just a short walking distance from the town shopping centre, supermarkets, restaurants etc. Great hotel if you’re in the area.

Hotel is in a good location - with nice views of the harbor. The breakfast buffet was very impressive - a great variety and lots of it. Rooms were comfortable and clean. It took some time to check in and check out, however, with one person at the desk. Staff was friendly and helpful.
