ive rooms, 74, including many singles, have superb views of the sound. Both guests and
nonguests will enjoy its

Bedrooms have recently been comprehens-
ively renovated and an attractive new wing has been grafted onto the solid, rectangular
block of the original building. Of its 269 rooms (it's worth the Nkr100 extra for one in the
new wing), around half have harbour views. Reception, with two staff and two desks to
receive arrivals, is swift, smart and friendly. It runs a decent pub, the
Rorbua
, and a fine
Arctic Menu restaurant, the
Aurora (
3-10pm)
.
