Ellingsøya, Ålesund hotel rooms at the Independent

"Clean room, very kind staff, nice hotel, fantastic city. "

"Stylish rooms, comfortable beds, great restaurant"

"Due to delayed flights, I arrived at 02:20 hours but was greeted by a warm and friendly lady on reception who completed the check-in in a friendly manner and offered a hot drink. I had booked a standard room ideally with a sea view. That was not possible as the hotel was full however she advised me to return at 1200 the following day and they would try and upgrade. My twin standard on the 5th floor was perfectly adequate but just looked straight across the street at windows opposite so not really possible to open the net curtains and just a rooftop view. The bed and bathroom was comfortable. I spoke to reception the next day and was upgraded to a superior room on the 6th floor overlooking the harbour and Aksla which was delightful! The climate control in the room was very effective and responsive. The room itself was spacious with comfortable beds and pillows. Breakfast offered a wide selection and the hot food offerings were the same for the 4 mornings I was there. Staff clear away items very quickly once you have finished with them. The manager was very friendly and helpful. Would happily stay here again. "

"I totally enjoyed my stay. Very convenient location. Excellent Caesar Salad at the restaurant. It is an economy hotel so ask for extra towels if traveling solo..."

"Location excellent. Modern clean and everything we needed. We enjoyed the roof top deck with a view of the city. If we return I would get a larger room with access to both sides of the bed Highly recommend "

"Thanks for making our stay comfortable and relaxed."

"The front desk personnel was friendly and helpful. The room was nice. The bed was comfortable. There was a small refrigerator. The bathroom and shower were totally tiled, which was nice. The shower had a curtain instead of the typical glass doors which we liked better. It was great that both breakfast and dinner were offered. Breakfast was good both days with good options and variety. Dinner one night was thin soup and bread which was not satisfying. The hotel was across the street from a grocery store which was nice."
