Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room felt like a clean kids dorm room with two twin beds, a sink, and basic cabinets. It was quite spacious and we were allocated a room at the beginning of our 2-night stay based on a friend's recommendation. The service was excellent, from the front desk to housekeeping, with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was superb, next to the unexpected wonderful botanical garden and within a 5-10 minute walk to the downtown core. The dining experience was absolutely worth the price, especially the option for breakfast. Overall, a great value for money stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfy rooms, friendly staff, and a great location near the botanical garden. The dining options were above average, offering a variety of traditional Greek products. However, the hotel was a bit crowded at times and slightly off the beaten path from the downtown core.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were located in the new dorm building, and mine faced East, providing stunning views of the fjord and town. The room felt like a clean kids dorm room with two twin beds, a sink, and basic cabinets. The bunk style single beds and w/c showers down the hall were very convenient. The cleanliness was exceptional, and the breakfast was top-notch.
