    The room smelt badly. It was not possible to open the window to get rid of the musty bedroom smell.

    The view was fantastic and the breakfast was very good. Staff at reception was very helpful.

    I liked the breakfast but I did expect more variety in the freshly made goods (like cooked veggies) and pastries. They do cater to various diets though, and had fresh avocados, which was a welcome surprise.

    The views from the higher floors were incredible - whether you were looking towards the mountains or towards the water. Very comfy, spacious beds and overall the room was comfortable and a good size. Clean aesthetics and modern design. Easy access to everything (though Bodø is generally small and therefore easy to navigate).

    The wifi didn't work initially, we had to get on a different network that was only shared when we alerted the front desk. The linens provided for the roll away bed were soiled and stained. We asked for a new set which was provided.

    The views from the rooms were absolutely incredible and we were on the 16th floor on a corner. The lobby was really nice and the location was incredible.

    Hotel room was too hot, could not make the room cooler. Not sure if just due to hot air rising but had to keep window open during the winter to keep room comfortable.

    The breakfast was amazing! So many options and a lot of delicious seasonal specials for the holidays. Wonderful view of the city from my hotel room.

    We had a problem with parking. It's not the hotel's fault in any way, but the parking garage nearby uses a 'ticketless' payment process that was very hard to figure out and to get working. The hotel staff did do their best to help us with it and it's not the hotel's responsibility, but for people staying here: it's useful to download the Apcoa Flow app beforehand and create an account so you can use the ticketless parking in Bodo parking garages.

    The breakfast was excellent and beyond expectation. Every possible type of breakfast food was available in suitable quantities. The view from our room on the 15th floor was breathtaking. We spent a lot of time sitting in front of the window watching the city below and the bay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with parking and they took their time to explain to us how it worked in Bodo. We could also check in earlier than normally possible.

    We parked our car to check in and came out to a parking ticket. Parking signage is not very user friendly for non Norwegian speaking drivers. Parking signs had very limited info on them and we didn't see an area to park to check in. Our room had a great view but the shared balcony made it so when the people from the room next door were on the balcony they could stare directly inside our room. Which they did!

    Room and view were nice. Great breakfast buffet

    Excellent location with fabulous views and top floor restaurant and bar.
    • Leisure trip

    • Superior King Room

    The hotel felt quite new, and as if things were still underway or not quite finished such as chipboard where there might have been a door mat at the entrance and a few things seemingly covered in dust sheets. On arrival we checked in and then realised we have just been given one key when we had booked two adjacent rooms, so we had to re queue and were them moved to a different floor where we could have rooms in close proximity. This just felt a bit disorganised after our other hotel experiences in Norway. Having the restaurant on the top floor is great but it means lots of people who aren't staying in the hotel go in and out and use the lift, so unlike other hotels there was no need for a room key as security for using the lift. There are opening windows in the rooms which we appreciated but when the wind blew we could hear something rattling in the ceiling.

    The hotel is an easy walk from the train station and in a great location on the waterfront. We were lucky enough to have amazing views out across the harbour towards the surrounding islands and of the shifting weather patterns as they moved through. Having a good restaurant on the top floor was great and also the bar there with the balconies and views. There was a good selection of food choices for breakfast.

    The bathrooms need switches, motion detectors are not an appropriate technology for a hotel bathroom. On site restaurant offers a limited menu and small portions and no side dish to speak off.

    The view would be great if the windows were clean….breakfast was adequate.

    the room was very basic, we've stayed on the 10th floor with a sea/mountain view, however, it was difficult to enjoy it, since the windows seemed haven't been cleaned from the day the hotel was built

    Stuff was great, delicious breakfast. The bar/restaurant has very nice views, open lovely terrace
