Ellingsøya, Ålesund hotel rooms at the Independent

"Best location, beautiful design and very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. "

"The staff was just wow, they saved my stay many times. The breakfast and green garden is such an enjoyable experience definitely booking again. Very good choice. "

"Great location with dining area overlooking harbor and light house. "

"Thanks for making our stay comfortable and relaxed."

"The room was beautiful and modern with a huge window with a lovely view of the city and waterways. The breakfast buffet was excellent! The staff were friendly. I want to mention that the desk chair at the foot of the bed does not push in all the way and the legs slant backwards which impedes the walkway and is a tripping hazard in the dark. I would suggest a different chair or relocate the desk."

"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."

"Hotel was in a beautifully restored turn of the 19th /20th century gray stone building with a very stylish 21st century interior in the lobby, the hallways, the restaurant and in the individual room. Eventhough I paid for standard room, we must have been upgraded to small suite as it had an amazing bathroom with bathtub and shower. The bed and linens were very comfortable; it was hard to get up early from the bed for early Fjord boat trip. There was a table with four chairs. "

"We loved this modern apartment and wouldn't change anything with our stay in Alesund."

"Very nice relaxing place, no noise , bucolic. Very spartan place, marvelous if you like it."
