Scandic Parken

The breakfast was great! Enormous buffet with many choices, always fresh, staff extremely helpful and efficient. The room was very comfortable with 2 easy chairs facing the harbor view, and a writing desk. The hotel is within a short walking distance to the center.

The hotel is in a great location close to the waterfront (3 minutes walk). The room was a good size. There was plenty of choice for breakfast. I did not try the restaurant on the 9 floor with the views.

This was an amazing stay! We didn't have much time in the city so we needed a hotel close to the city center to be able to walk around and explore in the few hours that we had. At the same time we needed something close enough to the port and bus station where we needed to get the boat for the tour one day and catch the bus back to Oslo the next, all walking distance! Also, if you can, spend a little more for the higher level rooms, views are worth it!

The "Parken" hotel might look a big like a klutz from the outside - but inside, it's very modern, airy, spacious and comfortable. The room had a wonderful view of the ocean - how much more can you ask for? The location is superb - centrally located as can be, anything within max. 10 minute walk. There's a parking garage under the hotel (with direct access to the lobby - very convenient with heavy suitcases!). Breakfast is plentiful, varied and very tasty - as always in Scandinavia. The staff was both professional and very friendly and approachable at the same time. All in all : this is really hard to top !

I was pleasantly surprised by the room, it clearly has been renovated a short time ago and was nicely designed and a good size. Additionally I had a great view of the water! Location could not have been better as you got access to the famous hike literally behind the hotel and had the best views of Ålesund. Breakfast had a great selection and parking was right underneath the hotel with direct access to the rooms, at additional cost.
