“A nice stay, but a little overpriced”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2010

The hotel is located in a former warehouse on the harbor waterfront. The original massive wood beams have been exposed and incorporated into the hotel's decor, an impressive sight. The location is in the old town center, within convenient walking distance of the shops and other downtown attractions. If you have a room on the harbor side of the hotel, you can borrow a fishing pole from reception and fish from your room! Our room was rather small with mediocre lighting. There was a hair dryer and small refrigerator, but no toiletries or coffee maker. There was only one hand towel and one bath towel per person, an unwelcome surprise which necessitated a trip to the front desk for additional towels. Given the price of the room, the lack of towels was quite unwelcome. Apparently requests for additional towels is common, as the front desk had a supply of them on hand, and cheerfully provided them on request. Windows open (good for fishing from). Our room on the harbor side was very quiet, except for the very noisy seagulls. Room rate includes a bountiful supper (one hot entree, with a vast array of cold dishes), afternoon waffles, and a bountiful buffet breakfast. We found no need to go elsewhere for meals, a distinct advantage given the extremely high cost of dining in Norway.

“From our room we could fish - and we got a fish”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2009

The clark in the reception recommanded us to try to fish from our room in the ground floor. And - we got a fish. A very nice hotel with much of "the extra service " - nice room with new bathroom. In the evening we also got served an evening meal - free of charge.

Try this hotel - you will not regret.

“Very pleasant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2009

Really nice place, friendly staff, good location and loads of character - my only regret is that we were only there one night. Not much else needs to be said really!

“Basic accomodation!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2009

Stayed here for one night. This hotel is basic norwegian hotel. Small bed, small TV, small towels etc. If I was staying here for Busniess alone I would be quite dissapointed to spend the evening in the room. Old bathrooms but it looks like they are in the process of updating them. unfortunately there are not many alternatives that are any better in this city, supposedly with one exeption rated #1 here, but I have never tried it. Its a place to sleep nothing more

“Very average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2009

An attractive looking hotel from the exterior with a prime position accross from the harbour, this hotel did not deliver according to my expecatations. The price paid of over 1200 kr per night lead me to think that this would be a better experience than it actually was. Bathrooms are tatty (renovation work ongoing in 2009) and the room had a stale slightly smoky smell even though it was a non-smoking room. The single bed was quite soft and very narrow. Biggest disappointment was the breakfast buffet which was very scaled down compared to the other Ålesund hotels and if you wanted fried eggs, you had to cook it yourself.
