In-Depth Information
This good-value, 'back-to-basics' hotel chain steps in when B&Bs are in short supply. It
does have a corporate sunniness that can be grating, but rooms are pleasant, with wall-to-
wall photographs of trees, comfortable beds and pristine bathrooms.
Thon Hotel Wergeland
HOTEL
It doesn't get any more central than this attractive hotel right next to the cathedral. It's all
very smart and modern within, although a grand stairwell and a few other lovely old fea-
tures remind you of the building's history. Rooms have dark hardwood floors and Ne-
spresso machines.

This Clarion is in one of the town's most stately buildings. Inside it has been done out in
an urban, contemporary style with huge, pearl-string lampshades, gold and silver throne-
like chairs, purple lighting and massive jet-black bedheads.
Eating
In summer everyone ends up at the small, remodelled harbour around the fish market,
where you'll find fresh seafood, beer and ice cream. There are, however, a huge number of
options in the city grid too.
