Scandic Seilet

The seilet is an impressive building in a glorious position overlooking the fjord. It was fantastic to watch all the boat traffic using the harbour. We chose it specifically because we hoped it was quiet for sleeping & it was. ||The room was a little small (bathroom too) but there was everything you needed. We were in the point of the sail with a small balcony with the 180 degree view.||Breakfast buffet was good and quite calm. Perhaps we were lucky. ||It was a pity there was no restaurant for dinner but the walk of around 800m to nearest places was fine. ||We thought the cost very reasonable compared to hotels further south. ||Yes we would stay again but in a balcony room. ||Note, hotel parking is limited though there is plenty of public spaces. None are free.

The hotel stands on the coast, so you can enjoy the ocean view, especially break fast time. The room is specious for 3 persons, but the main bed was too small for 2 and can't relax, which is disappointing. The breakfast was amazing with a lot of choices. It was nice moment to have coffee and enjoy the food.

When the reception gives you a feeling that they are better than you, and demand an ID with picture to get a room, when you are a hardcore Norwegian that have a valid credit card with your name, something is wrong here. No power outlet close to the bed, so charging your phone close to you while in bed. Bar closed before 0700pm? What? We came from Britannia Hotel in Trondheim and compared to that hotel, Seilet Hotel is at best a two star hotel.

The most impressive aspect of the Hotel is its prime location and views from all rooms. |However that is where the enjoyment ceases. |It is fundamentally a tourist factory with bus loads arriving and the knock on impacts of large numbers on the facility. |Our bed was a small double compared to previous hotels, with only one flat pillow each, an electric fan in room for cooling, tissue box empty, shower doors 2 cm’s above floor and water flows everywhere, one power switch turns off lights and power points so phone didn’t charge overnight and only one coffee machine at breakfast and being mainly a tourist bus hotel it is quite hectic and we found the staff attitude ambivalent. Only took pre booked tables for in-house dinner buffet despite staying in the hotel. |Suggest better more boutique offerings in town.

Very nice hotel. Close to the center and good standing. The view from the room is incredible. Possibility to good a SPA session, swimming pool or go the gym. Supermarket right next to the hotel.

Deeply disappointed as my request for a high floor room (harbor view) stated 7 months in advance was not taken into account. Can't believe that high floor rooms had been sold out that early. Got not even a rejecting answer giving the chance to cancel the booking. Instead an 'improvement' from floor 4 to 5 at check-in, did not help. Staff is not interested in guest's feedback, does not ask for.

Needs a dinner restaurant. Toilet flush not good and outdated. Good location and good place to stay but needs some attention to details and unfortunately the person who greeted us was new and a little clueless.

The Scandic Seilet is a beautiful hotel situated right on the coast, the rooms are gorgeous, lovely staff, beautiful buffet breakfast, priced very well, perfect location. Aker Stadium is only a 100 metre walk away. I recommend The Scandic Seilet hotel as a great place to stay.

It was a perfect view and we got a room based on the local football club who's stadium was right next to us and the breakfast was delicious if you're going on a roadtrip in Norway like me visit here for a night or two!
