This hotel is right on the water and had an incredible view. The breakfast buffet is really good and had several options (including gluten free). The only reason for not choosing 5 stars is because the rooms are very dated and there isn’t free parking on the property.

Breakfast and dinner were included, both simple but enough to satisfy me. A tour group had breakfast and they ate most of the food, staff wasn't quick enough to replenish them. My room was dark, there were at least 5 lamps in the room which I had to turn on most of them. Laundry (washer & dryer) was 50kr total. Free parking weekends only.

Top Value Hotel

Lovely hotel in great position near the water. Loved getting breakfast, afternoon tea and light dinner included. It was also excellent value. Only negative-hotel looks like it is ready for some remodelling. It’s a bit dated.
