Disappointing

Stayed in Presidential Suite. Very noisy from Water street both at night and in morning. Poor lighting in room especially after sun went down. No full service restaurant although many close by.

The building is old, but beautifully maintained and updated. There is so much more interest and character in a building with history, a building which was constructed in an era when craftsmanship was prized and the materials used were beautiful wood and stone. It was a pleasure to stay there.

This is a grand old hotel with beautiful woodwork. We've enjoyed staying here several times through the years. It's right on Water Street where the main stores and restaurants are and is a nice little walk to Vesterheim museum.
