Advantages: Scenery great and pretty architecture Disadvantages: Expensive
make travelling between the island and the city centre more convenient. There is a good bus service and an airport is 20 minutes drive from the town centre. As we walked along by the water we were surprised how close our huge cruise ship was moored just minutes from the town and smaller boats bobbed in the breeze on other stretches of water. Ålesund is Norway?s largest fishing town but things have changed since the 1950?s and now the former warehouses are used for offices and restaurants, they are built right into the water giving the appearance that the town is floating.
There was a modern shopping centre and lots of small shops selling typical Norwegian goods for tourists as well as everyday things. The Banks though do not exchange money so it was necessary to use a Debit card in a machine, although many shops would take Euros as they ...
Advantages: pool, restaurant, ambassador lounge, comfortable rooms Disadvantages: Not especially cheap
My mum frequently comes to Finland on business and this is where she stays whenever she's in Helsinki. This means it's the place I've stayed on all my previous visits here. I've never found a reason to complain about it, but then again, my mum has always been the one paying.
Scandic are a big company who have hotels all over Finland, as well as in Swedon and, I think, Norway.
--- Location and Transport---
The Scandic is on Mannerhiemintie, which is a large street running straight through the city centre. It's about five or ten minutes walk from the very centre of town, but there's a tram stop right outside if it's cold or you're feeling lazy. Three different numbers of trams run down Mannerhiemintie at this point, so you shouldn't have to wait too long. The Finnair bus, which goes directly to the airport, stops immediately ...
Advantages: Great Interior, Romms comfortable, Staff V healpful Disadvantages: 15-20 min walk from bus terminal
modern with woodern flooring and heated flooring in the bathroom. There is a TV with some english channels with Norwegien subtitles, and pay per view fils at 139kr for 24 hours. The room has a fridge with a mini bar although as you expect from a hotel the prices are slightly more than in a pub, which in Norway is expensive. The wine in the room was 139kr for 1/2 bottle. People were buying drink in the airport proir to arrival to combat this problem! The only thing the room doesnt have is tea and coffe making facilities, however I dont know if we were meant to use this machine but to the left of reception past the lift there was a tea/coffee/hot chocolate facilities but no milk available. There was also a water cooler.
The hotel has a sauna, gym and solarium but we did not use these facilities.
The city was about a 10 min walk away ...
