Don't gasp, but this is one of those rare Norwegian
beasts - an affordable hotel with character and style! Housed in the renovated former ar-
tillery barracks, the rooms might be small but they all differ from one another. Some have

This is the pick of the town's budget crop and has well-maintained rooms that have
had a little bit of love shown to them. There are common bathrooms only, and not many of
those either. There's a kitchen for guest use or you can pay Nkr100 extra for breakfast. It's
run by the same people as the Gamlebyen Gjestegaarder.
