Hotel is located on the waterfront about 4 blocks from the center business district. It has been recently refurbished in a modern motif. The lounge and dining room overlook the harbor, as do some of the rooms. Staff was very accommodating. Our room had hardwood floor and lacked toiletries (as do many Norway hotels), but did have a small refrigerator, iron and ironing board. Room lighting was good; windows open. Bathroom was nice size, with walk-in shower. Room rate includes an evening meal (bountiful--easy to make a full dinner from the wide selection), plus an adequate breakfast, both served in the dining room. The only noise encountered was from the gulls outside.
