Central Location With Nice Cosy Rooms

The hotel is at the central. There is a bus coming and taking people to the hotel and back to airport. The staff is friendly and helpful. Restaurants and shops are near.

Great hotel located in the center of town. Rooms are spacious but the hotel lacks ample seating for guests since they close the restaurant in between breakfast and dinner.

Thorbjørn, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay! My mountain view was more of a view of the front entrance and parking with a tip of hill showing behind the building across the street. Not great, but super comfortable room and great tub! The local food was all delicious as well. I went to Kroa a couple times and the hotel restaurant as well but just for dinner. So good!
