Whilst our room appeared fairly basic, it was the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in and shower worked well with plenty of hot water. The breakfast probably had the best selection of options we’ve ever come across, it was excellent and a very relaxing restaurant.

Great stay - accomodations, room and breakfast were great. Good location and felt very safe.
It would have been a 5 star rating until Thursday night when the nightclub was open until 2am. I could hear it on the 8th floor.

The hotel itself is well located within walking distance to all (except for the Arctic cathedral) tourist attractions and the main “high street”.
The room was nice and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
We appreciate that people generally have breakfast at a certain time and this meant that the restaurant was overly busy during this pinch point. However, there is no real structure or assistance from the hotel with this and therefore makes it feel chaotic. With this said; the spread served at the buffet breakfast has an extended variety of choices - amazing!
We would definitely stay here when we next visit during the summer sun!

Room was big and clean. The pillows are too flat for me but other than that it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was the best thing! Good location too.

The room was clean and warm, with modern furnishings. It was quite compact though, with very little storage space for clothes. The room came equipped with shower gel/shampoo and a hair dryer. There are no tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
The breakfast is excellent with a wide choice of options to suit all palates. It was kept well stocked throughout the service and staff were regularly clearing away used plates and cups. It is, however, a small eating area for such a large hotel and we sometimes battled to find somewhere to sit at breakfast.
There is no restaurant, breakfast is the only meal served in the hotel.
The staff are all very friendly, welcoming and helpful.
