This hotel reminded us of a post-Communist era Eastern European property, like the former Yugoslavia. It looked like Tito once stayed there. The room was overly warm, but there was no thermostat to adjust. You could open a window, but then flies and mosquitoes came in. There was no “do not disturb” sign, so we told the desk clerk we didn’t want cleaning. They came in anyway, and moved all of our clothes and toiletries. The breakfast was very ordinary and subpar compared to other Norwegian hotels. The property is convenient to touring the fjords areas, however. There is a good little Asian restaurant in the next town over, too.

Overall a disappointing stay though the hotel has beautiful views. Room was spacious and reasonably comfortable. What should have been hot food at the buffet dinner and breakfast was all cold or lukewarm at best. No other options for food nearby.

Great Hotel, But Not the Room We Reserved

While planning our dream vacation we only had time for one night deep in the fjords. We spent hours searching for the ideal hotel location with a magnificent view. We reserved 5 months in advance (paid on Dec 12, 2024). We even upgraded to a SUPERIOR room with Waterfront VIEW (Canal View) to make the one night even more special. SADLY, when we checked in at 16:30, we received a somewhat run-down room with a tiny bathroom and a view of some roof tops and the motorway. The beautiful photos of magnificent views & large bathrooms on Hotels.com were not our reality. We politely asked the front desk if they had any superior rooms available that had a view of the water (Canal View) as our reservation stated a “Canal View”. The kind lady said that they did not have any other available rooms. However, one hour later, a tour bus of guests arrived (this means that there were other rooms STILL available when we had inquired). The location and common areas of the hotel are fantastic. The breakfast was EXCELLENT (Thon Hotels have always had the best breakfast). But, when friends ask about the world famous Norway fjords, our hotel room experience was not what we reserved. :-(

The restuarant staff was excellent. The front desk staff was awful. Road noise kept us up all night and then the cleaning manager opened the door to our room without knocking and I was just coming out of the shower nude. He apoligzed later but cleaning normally knocks. When I told the front desk, the two young ladies tere shrugged there shoulders and chatted. No apologies, nothing The food was average and overpriced

Good place for stopover as nothing in town. Facility was clean and staff helpful however this is an overnight stop for tour buses so expect flood of people. They only had a buffet at night which was pricey and not much in town for other dining options.

Staff are great, location and large spaces are great, but the rooms themselves are tired and the bathroom in particular was puzzling with inaccessible toilet paper and a flooding approach to shower drainage. Breakfast was a miss with frozen fruit salad but the free coffee and sparkling water in a very restful, relaxing lounge was absolutely fantastic.
