Our party of 3 booked two separate rooms, but were given a single room with a fold-out sofa. Front desk staff could not resolve it, and we're awaiting a reaponse from the hotel. They also had no record of the guest who tried checking-in right before us. He had to provide his paperwork as proof of the reservation.

Great little hotel in the heart of the town

Central, easy to find from the airport bus, convenient for the Hurtigruten. Friendly service in the bar, with reasonable prices (for Norway!). Best breakfast of my trip, from smoked salmon to fresh fruit, cooked breakfast to croissants....Fab!
