Havila Hotel Ivar Aasen

It was an excellent trip in a wonderful hotel. The young and dynamic staff provided me with the Information and help I asked for without hesitating for a second.

We stayed for one night, before heading back to Ålesund to fly back home. The area was charming and when we entered the hotel we were met by very friendly staff who offered lots of information and we felt welcomed. The look of the hotel was nice and modern and the room was comfortable. The beds can be two twins put together and have their own duvet for each side - had an amazing night’s sleep! The breakfast the next day was a fantastic choice of hot and cold options. And all of it was delicious. We even tried the different herrings they offered! One thing to note: their restaurant is closed on Sundays. But there are great places to eat nearby. I look forward to staying again.

Named after a famous Norwegian philologist, who assembled one of the two official written versions of the Norwegian language, this hotel is located close to the main shopping centre, fjord side and is a 5-minute drive from the airport. It has plenty of free parking. Clean, modern, open in design it had large well-equipped bedrooms – some overlooking the fjord and others overlooking a park. Ours had a flat screen TV, two single beds, a desk for working, good fast free wi-fi, a hairdryer, a bathroom with shower, a hanging space for clothes, an easy chair and a small, pleasant balcony. We noted that the bathroom floor was electrically heated. Breakfast was close to reception in a large open plan area with lots of tables and an excellent range of all sorts of foods ranging from croissants, to cooked breakfasts, to yoghurt and fruit to cold meats and cheese – and lots of fresh bread too. It was a good display and included in the price. We received a warm personal welcome at reception and paid £116 for bed and breakfast. We did not eat our evening meal there but walked (5 mins) to the pizza restaurant in the nearby shopping mall.

Zimmer 329 - freundlicher Empfang, Zimmer für eine Nacht okay, aber nicht für länger, Frühstück war in Ordnung, Nespresso Kaffee verfügbar, es ist eine Bar vorhanden, aber das Angebot ist sehr minimal, Zimmer war zu warm, es gab keine funktionierende Klimaanlage.

The manager is pleasant but the hotel is less than average, everything squeaks, the batroom didn't have a glass cell only a curtain and the water splashed all over. Breakfast was OK but everything ran out very quickly and you have to wit until the staff fills in the missing items.

We have a excellent stay. we were greeted with open arms and a big welcome. Nice room, clean, very good breakfast, Not fabric made food but home made food. They have karaoke if you want to have fun. I love the stay.
