The room was spacious and offered a great view. Breakfast was good, but there wasn’t the variety there was at the Scandic in Voss. The water station is messy, water is splashed everywhere so one must be very careful not to slip on the wet floor. One day the coffee machine did not work at all.

The AC did not function as it should, if at all. The shower is not adequately shielded; Water always splashed underneath it and it isn’t long enough,

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.

No coffee/tea maker in the hotel room. Coffee and tea could be had in the lobby for a price. The lobby bar only offered drinks, not even peanuts! Some snacks would have been great, and tapas would have been fantastic. The restaurant was too pricey for us. Our initial room faced a wall, we asked for anothe room and got one with a great view. The receptionist was always very helpful throughout our stay. Parking is very pricey. Unfortunately, the beds were too soft and we were unable to open the window for fresh air.

I had a great stay! The room was clean and cozy, and the view from the window was absolutely amazing. The bed was so comfortable—I slept like a baby. Breakfast was delicious with a nice variety to choose from. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

The food at the evening restaurant was also really good, though the waitress didn’t seem very friendly. She looked overworked, which might explain it, but it did affect the overall dining experience a bit.

Booked a ‘standard’ room and had a wow moment when we opened the door as there was a full wall picture window overlooking Ålesund and the harbour. The room itself was large and clean. Good choice of breakfast, you might want to eat a little later to ensure any coach parties have finished. There is a ‘pay for’ car park underneath the hotel. The hotel is directly in front of Mount Aksla viewpoint so a very short walk to take the 400 steps to the top!

No lift from underground car park to hotel, so you may wish to unload luggage outside reception first

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.

Everything was good with my stay with the exception that I was on a ground floor room next to a lift. Sadly the lift made banging noises when is use. Luckily this didn't happen at night or in the early morning so it didn't both me. But it might for other travellers.

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!

There wasn't a thing we didn't like about our stay at this Scandic Parken. Everyone in the hotel was kind and made our experience there a great one!

The room was quite spacious, had a large soft bed, a minifridge. The bathroom featured a zoom mirror and a good shower, though it splashed on the bathroom floor because of a gap under the door. Good breakfast (served from 6.30 am).

Rude and unfriendly reception staff (no "hi", no "would you mind waiting a couple of minutes", just pretending you do not exist and then just leaving for another counter and calling another guest from there). Hairdryer with a button that you have to hold pressed when drying the hair makes my hand hurt. No kettle, no AC, no sockets near the bed.

Choice at breakfast - there was interesting apple porridge and salmon latkes. Nice lounge area on ground floor which I used as a quiet space to read. It’s a really good location for going up Askla. Plenty of parking on the streets nearby.

It was a bit weird that there was no kettle in our room on arrival. I had to ask for one and was told there were none available - even though I had seen some in a room for cleaning equipment. The next day, our mugs were removed from the room so we had to ask for then again! We found this odd as there were tea and coffee making facilities in the other Skandics we used. No gym or sauna area open during our stay. Also breakfast was very busy with tour groups.

The breakfast is good and the location is also very good. The park behind is the observation deck, where you can overlook the entire city. It is a 5-minute walk to the port.

There is no shower curtain in the bathroom, so the whole bathroom is wet after taking a shower. The other room has a bathtub, so there is no such problem.

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 !
