The hotel was beautiful. We stayed in a room on the top floor with very distinct and memorable architecture. The exposed antique wood beams, dramatic sloping ceilings, and curved corner spier were very unique. The space was large and comfortable with a seating area and small desk. We had dinner at the restaurant and were very impressed with the flavorful and well-prepared meal. The lobby area was very well decorated and very romantic. We enjoyed sitting in the garden patio reading and drinking our morning coffee.

While the room was beautiful the sloping ceilings posed a bit of head-bumping risk getting into bed. The little nook that held the round spier let in a lot of light in the mornings and had small curtainless windows which we had to stuff pillows into to keep out the light. These were minor issues but I might request a different room next time though I was happy to have had the experience of such a unique accommodation.

This hotel is a quiet gem with several lobby areas/lounge rooms that are just gorgeous. Every space is serene and beautiful--including the rooms. However, what made our experience truly exceptional was the service and attention we received from the concierge named Renate. She accommodated a request for a room change, recommended excellent restaurants, helped us navigate some issues we encountered with parking and even recommended some travel ideas outside of Bergen. We ended up staying an extra night because we just didn't want to leave! Renate's genuine hospitality, guidance and help truly made our trip in Bergen, and beyond, something special. We cannot thank her enough!

That we couldn't stay longer!

- fascinating combination of historical building (Art Nouveau as typical for Alesund) with modern design (e.g. lights in the entrance hall!) - excellent location (close to city centre/harbour as well as park/Aksla viewpoint, small shopping centre with large supermarket next door, restaurants/cafes and shops in walking distance) - very nice room in Skandinavian design (spacious, nice view, in a small corner/tower of the building, very quiet at night) - comfortable beds, good blankets - highly professional hair dryer in bathroom - excellent breakfast (in terms of quality and variety, including even freshly squeezed orange juice) - good restaurant (quality of food, fish soup highly recommended)

- furnishing and installations (especially in the bathroom) not functional/practical (hardly no possbility to hang up towels, no space at all to put personal items) - shower not separated from rest of room (no cubicle or wall), thus flooding of bathroom almost inevitable - no separate towel for the floor (but additional towels provided to us upon request)

The hotel is full of design. The room is very big and comfortable. Washroom is also big, has shower and bath, and floor heating. There are nice plants outside of windows. Breakfast is very good. There is no hotel parking, but there’s parking underground which belongs to a shopping mall. Location is good, very close to city center and Aksla viewpoint. Service staff are very friendly, they prepare breakfast boxes for us at 4:30 am.

The only thing I suggest is to change the breakfast tables to small tables. It is not so comfortable to share tables with others at breakfast.

Wonderful boutique hotel in the central part of Alesund with art nouveau vibe. Rooms were good size - plenty of space for luggage plus chairs table desk and storage. Bathrooms were very modern, functional, and also good-sized. Very close to all major sights in Alesund. Excellent breakfast options, healthy and nutritious.

Quite a lot of light was coming in through the window curtains, which were too thin. This can make sleeping hard in the summer months. No in-house dining on Sunday but plenty of options elsewhere.

Great hotel, very convenient location - close to port for fjord cruises and the bus stop for transfer to Vigra airport. Hotel restaurant ia very good and should be considered as an option for dinner as well. The main pedestrian street is about 2 min walk from the hotel. Next to the hotel there is a shopping mall where one may find a super market, pharmacy and drugstore if some necessities are needed. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Strongly recommend this hotel.

Great location and in general, a good hotel. Breakfasts were delicious and the room was lovely with a very Scandinavian design.

The room was lovely but it seemed that style was more important than substance, as the storage areas in both the bathroom and the bedroom was very poor. We stayed 2 nights which was enough when you don;t have any storage space, as I don't like living put of a bag when I am on holiday. However that is the only negative as in general the hotel was lovely and probably the best in Alesund.

The lounge area was beautifully decorated, and the room was small, but simple and nicely furnished. Dyson hairdryer provided and the hand soap / shampoo was of good quality. The breakfast had hot food options, which catered to an international group of travelers. Receptionists were always helpful. The hotel location was great.

Lack for other toiletries eg body lotion / room slippers, which are more consistent with other international hotel standards. Rooms were a bit small.

Very well priced, took a non renovated room which was light and airy and very well kept. Location was great, and hotel renovation very well done, welcoming. Small bar for sweets, expresso, and wine which we used one evening while sitting at lobby fireplace. Very clean property!

Rooms to warm, air conditioning not cool enough,(or not on) and unable to fully open windows...street noise if open, and they don't open very wide. Breakfast was average at best, however there was fresh squeezed OJ and plenty to get by, just not top quality nor large variety, but on par with the price of our room (non renovated) and that of a solid 3 star hotel.

Amazing location, very nicely renovated, friendly staff and superb breakfast! We had a cancelable rate through booking.com so asked to see a couple rooms before checking in and all were very nice! had seen some earlier reviews of people complaining and no clue why since the rooms are very nicely decorated. Some are still being renovated or have just been finished, we stayed in one that was “older” but means it was completed sometime maybe a year or two ago. very cute rooms, comfortable beds, unreal breakfast, very central location. We loved our stay!
