Nice room with a great view
Spacious room in good shape with amazing views of the Cathedral and the fjord. Great counter-top space in the bathroom. Everything clean and in good shape. Wonderful breakfast. Parking in the nearby garage somewhat pricy.

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times, and the main reason is the fantastic breakfast! I always only stay one night, so I never get to try eating dinner, but the restaurant has to be good.
