バレストランドのバーのあるホテル

Kviknes Hotel's main building, a modern annex connected to the original, elegant structure, stands out from the beautiful fjord waterline like a sore thumb, an architectural ugly ducking that could be forgiven if it provided a comfortable and welcoming stay. Sadly, it does not. The staff was pleasant, and the breakfast was good, but the rooms lacked basic amenities one would expect of a hotel of that stature. We had to bob and weave our way through the lobby when a couple of crowded tour buses arrived (and climbed up to the seventh floor to avoid standing in line for the inadequate elevators). We were grateful that we'd brought our own shampoo. It was fortunate that we'd brought soap (they provided ”body wash” in dispensers that didn't work) and there was neither a tea kettle, coffee maker nor a refrigerator/minibar in our room. The carpeting in the hallways is looking a little worn and all in all, this hotel seems as if it's seen better days.
