    Its an old post office converted to a hotel. As with any old building, it’s creaky. Even when you walk the floor would creak. The bathroom was super tiny and barely enough space to move around.

    The location was amazing. It’s right on the water. We also had a room over looking the lake.

    We weren’t advised about the shared kitchen/breakfast room at check in. I read it in the details of the room and we had to figure out how to access it. It would have been good to have this explained.

    Quirky property with a lovely view over lake and mountains.

    There sounded like a disco next door that was fairly loud until 11 PM. It was a Saturday night.

    Delightful place in a delightful town! I believe they take care of three locations along with an excellent restaurant. From the checkin in the restaurant to staff helping me with the digital code to comfortable bed and good shower, it was a pleasant experience all around. The room I had is a bit small but adequate for one person. I always appreciate private bathroom and although I didn't use them there appeared to be good shared kitchen facilities. Parking at hotel, supermarket across the street and a wonderful view of the lagoon and fjord. A nice walk around the lagoon relaxed me. The restaurant had excellent food for both dinner and breakfast (extra cost). So all my needs fulfilled!

    The room was very small and the building itself looked a bit run down in places but this didn't detract from my stay at all.

    It was in a great location and was great value for money.

    The single bed in our room was a bit small and it fits better kids than adults. Decor was a bit basic but still ok. Pillows were extremely thin, even with two.

    Location, room was well furnished and cozy. Common kitchen new and very well furnished

    Self check-in procedure was a little confusing since they host guests in 3 different houses. Looking up location on Google Maps beforehand does not help since they send you the address in a message along with the check-in code. Staff member in Aldan Bar then gave me the wrong directions to top it all off.

    Comfortable and clean facilities, close to everything. Very nice and spacious single room with ensuite bathroom.

    Staff at check-in: not rude, but not courteous either. I was never emailed a check-in code the day of even though I had received 2 previous emails the day before and a week earlier. When calling the recommended number, agent told me it was emailed and if I couldn't find it, to walk to restaurant to get check-in code. Agent there eventually found the check-in code in my Booking app that was sent to me the day before (not the instructions I had been given). Neither agent was apologetic and their voice and assistance was curt and brief (they seemed annoyed with me). Just a sour taste for check-in.

    Location was very scenic and walkable. Coffee available anytime with food area to prep and store own food brought in. Comfy bed.

    No kettle with tea/coffee in the rooms like mentioned in the description and in the photographs. Very strong wet dog smell in the room.

    The bed was really comfy, and we slept very well. Beautiful view out of the windows and everything was clean.

    The building may need a bit of maintenance. It would need a coat of paint since the paint has fallen off several parts of the wall.

    A very big room with a lot of space. Basically in the town centre. The bathroom was also very spacious. Clean room.

    The shower was small (and with curtain), and not the best shower head. Very small rooms, so keep that in mind.

    The facilities (honesty bar) and the beds were comfortable. It was also clean.

    There’s no oven or microwave, the Wi-Fi is very slow, and the soundproofing is poor — you can clearly hear loud footsteps from the floor above.

    It’s very clean, and the view outside the window is beautiful!

    Lovely room at the side of the hotel with great views across the river to colourful houses and the church. Main house has a shared kitchen which was particularly useful as there are no restaurants open during the winter season. Shop across the road
