“Perfect!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel for 85 days. I was on a business trip. 85 days are long enough to find all the flaws in a place, but I couldnt find a single one. Perfect location. right in the city center. Perfectly furnished rooms. The rooms were cleaned daily.

The breakfast was a grand affair with all types of cereals, fruits, cheese, breads, yogurts & cold cuts. In the evenings they also had a pancake corner. I surely put on a few pounds after such treatment.

The people at the reception were friendly & I felt very much at home.

High speed internet was available.

I just find it as one of the most perfect experience in my life. Happy to spend such a time with Rica. Would always look forward to see them again.

“Good service in a lovely building”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

We were here for 3 nights at the start of a trip, and had a good quiet room overlooking the road. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, functioning TV but what we really enjoyed was the Art Nouveau design and sensitively restored decor. Good breakfast buffet and free coffee/tea easily available at any time. Though some other hotels are on the harbourside, we found the location central to all that Alesund has to offer. Friendly and helpful staff added to a good feel about this place.
And if you want something to eat, we much enjoyed the delicious good-value salads at Lyst cafe on Kongensgate.

“Good hotel in a good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2010

This Art Nouveau hotel has been renovated. I had a good-sized room with a view of the street. It was comfortable. The breakfast buffet was pretty good. The front desk staff was friendly.

“Convenient location near attractions”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2010

person found this review helpful

We had a spacious junior suite at this lovely Art Nouveau hotel, conveniently located for all the attractions in Alesund. However, the reception staff were not the friendliest in the world, in particular a woman who scowled instinctively whenever a guest requested anything! The breakfasts were good, and there were plenty of restaurants nearby.

“Beautiful hotel and lovely room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2009

We seem to have been lucky to have got the junior suite for just under £100 a night in August. We had a nice big room with a decent sized table, a chaise longue and two armachairs, as well as a desk with chair. The windows looked out over the cobbled street which was fine in the day but a touch noisy on the Friday night when the locals could be heard talking in the street until the early hours. However, the other rooms at the back looked liked they'd have no view other than the back of another building's air conditioning units, so we stuck with it and I had three night's unbroken sleep after that. The breakfast spread was good, and tea/coffee was available free at all times downstairs. The desk staff were very helpful with directions and using the internet.
