Clarion Hotel Admiral
Great stay and great spot! Only slight slight issue was the current hotel strike in Norway so the hotel restaurant was not open (open for breakfast though, which was excellent!).

Scandic Neptun
Our bathroom had black mould in the shower area and the whole room smelt like mildew/mould. Staff was not helpful & quite rude when addressed. They did go on mid strike during our stay, which did not effect our stay
