dated roomconstant itching
the room i stayed in felt a little dated. i couldn't shake off a constant itching feeling when i went to bed , so i ended up sleeping on top of the covers. the room definitely needed some tlc , but it was clean. the hotel is conveniently located near the town center and the nice restaurants around the marina.

excellent stay near the docks

convenient locationfresh fruit
the location was convenient for accessing the nearby viking line ferry terminal. i found the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fresh fruit. there was scrambled eggs available and i had toasts with nutella. they stored my luggage both before check-in and after i checked out without any issues.
i booked it for two reasons, to use the restaurant and the sauna. i wasn't aware of this when i made my reservation, so that was disappointing.
