Great place. It was wonderful to have a place that was open 24/7. In the middle and heart of the town, so very walkable.

Literally a college dorm that is used as a hotel when students are out for summer. Shares parking with the botanical gardens. They are free and worth a visit.

I had a good stay. The rooms are well equipped and very clean. The staff is friendly. The hotel also has a good location. You can walk to the city center in a few minutes.

A very modern and clean hotel. All sites of interest to us were in easy walking distance of the hotel. Many open spaces and brilliant views of the fjord from the bedroom window. A short 15 minute walk to the harbour and then caught a boat to see whales (we saw three species). Also an easy walk to the church, high street and old town.

The staff was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable. I wish that we would have known in advance that room was on second floor without elevator, as my travel companion had difficulty with the stairs.

Comfortable beds. Good location near the city center and next to the swimming pool.
Too few showers in the common areas. The last floor, for example, has only 1 shower and 2 WCs for 10 rooms (some of which are triple rooms) which is more than insufficient at busy times (morning, evening).
