We spent three nights in mid-August and this place charmed our socks off. The Bryggan is not your typical hotel; read on for details to make check-in easier (see photos). Online reservation sites showed no vacancies on our dates for the types of rooms we wanted. I called the hotel and learned that two of these rooms were indeed available, one was reserved for us. Upon arrival it is possible to briefly leave your car standing out front while checking in. There is no reception desk; check-in is at the café/bistrot. The cashier provided an envelope containing the room key and wifi info. I asked about their free parking, she filled out a form to display in the car. The lot we used is on Lidenvägen, at the end of the street. It is clearly marked. Lidenvägen is behind the Coop grocery store, a great place for food and supplies. We stopped there for some snacks after parking. The lot is an easy 10-minute walk from the hotel. |Other reviews describe that there are different types of rooms in different parts of the building. Our superior room (#11) was spacious, clean, and quiet. It was bright, with a view of the rock face and part of the harbor. The large bathroom had a Jacuzzi tub, but it wasn’t working. Plenty of hot water with good pressure in the shower stall. The sink area had ample space for toiletries. A washer and dryer are provided; we didn’t use them. Two comfortable leather chairs for relaxing. The bed is huge; we found it very comfortable and slept well. There was no full-length mirror in the room, important for us as we were there for a wedding. My wife requested one, it was delivered and worked out well. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Dinner at the café was quite tasty and reasonable for a waterfront establishment. (I recommend the Skagen fish & chips, my wife loved the fish soup.) Many gather outside the café and neighboring restaurant to watch the sunset, it can get crowded on nice evenings. The self-service breakfast was good, offered in the cozy café with a water view. Mostly breads, meats, yogurt and cheeses but hot scrambled eggs and bacon were available. The coffee was excellent. Weather permitting you can have breakfast outside on the waterfront. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.
