helpful staffconvenient locationfriendly staffbustling business
the staff was helpful with local information and travel tips they really were the best. the location was convenient with easy walking distance to the centre. i enjoyed the nice vibe with friendly staff and available coffee and tea. the hotel kept ahead with all the bustling business.
my room felt small for what i paid. my luggage barely fit on the floor. the sink was also located in the main sleeping area , made washing up a bit messy.

The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast offered a wide selection (including skyr and smoked salmon). I also found it easy to book a taxi to the harbor from the front desk.
The room I stayed in was very small. The bathroom was also quite tiny. I found it impossible to shower without getting water on the floor (it was a bit annoying).

I appreciated the helpful staff at the hotel. They seemed eager to assist with directions. Breakfast had tasty options, and fresh rolls were available. I found the location central to many tourist spots.
My room felt really small, especially the bathroom space. It was difficult to avoid water spillage when using the tiny sink. The room size made moving around difficult.
