"Beautiful units but view of a cod liver oil plant was not what we were expecting. Also felt people could look into our hillside unit (#4) from the conference center, the walking areas below and next hillside unit. When we booked it looked like we would have clear views of the water as opposed to the oil plant and restaurant building. Staff, cleanliness, breakfast all wonderful. Units were lovely but our bathroom looks towards the next unit’s bathroom. Need to install a blind in the bathroom. Only had dinner once… would have tried a second time but didn’t want a big fancy meals - preferred less fancy meals at other local spots which were very good."

"Positive: the hotel was allocated in an old dock and our room faced the mountain and ocean which was very nice. Breakfast was quite good but not many hot food options. The bathroom was modern and has two shower points so it is a plus for couples! We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and the food was quite good but pricey ( well nothing is not pricey in Norway!!) Negative: The bed was too soft and the bathroom sink was too shallow. The spout of the tap was too long and as a result it was very hard to wash your hands or use the sink without spillage. Our room was on the first floor and there is no lift."
