Hotels Near Aksla på Rotsethornet in Volda

This has to be the quintessential Norway hotel for these travelers. We had 2 rooms as we are a family of 4. The lesser of the 2 rooms was only ok, but the suite we had was just stunning, the views out the window were worth the additional cost. I might only review the hotel as a 4 if we had had the same style of room. I strongly suggest paying for the Suite with a sea view if available, not cheap but one does not go to Norway to save money. The dinner was ok, nothing great, but good enough. Breakfast was good as well. But the location and views were spectacular. We were given good recommendations on where to take an evening walk and a hike the next day. An absolute worthy spot, particularly if you are looking to drive the Queens Route on the way to Geirangerfjord.

We checked in for a long weekend trip to see relatives. We found the rooms to be adequate in size - the bonus was getting a room with a balcony to enjoy the views of the Sunnmøre Alps. More importantly, the bed was comfortable and the rooms were clean. The staff in reception were very helpful too. On that basis alone, I would give the hotel four stars. However, the restaurant was a bit of a let down - mainly caused by the serving staff that I would say would need better training. When requesting the pan fried cod that was on the limited a la carte menu (not necessarily a bad thing to allow the kitchen to do a limited menu very well), we were told that it was not available. So that left three dishes - on of which was fillet of venison. Perfectly cooked, and very nice. Three times we requested the pan fried cod, and every single time we were told it was not available. The hotel has the seafront as it's nearest neighbour, and a handful of fishing boats were moored less than 100 meters away - can it really be that difficult to get fresh cod in that place? The serving staff could do with trying to remember who wanted what dish even in a group of 8 - and learning to not just leaving the bottle of wine on the table for example. Overall, we will be happy to stay there again, but looking to dine elsewhere - for example at the Snorrebuda a few hundred meters further down Sjøgata.

I stayed here with my two children and my parents for two nights during what some locals described as the typical Norwegian Summer, i.e. rainy and relatively cold. The hotel room my children and I were assigned was cold as the heating was not working. The room was rather small and the bathroom was simple, but the view was lovely. I can imagine everything would have looked much better on a sunny day. Breakfasts in this hotel are simple and the choice isn't great (unless you choose eggs). For me without a doubt the best part of my stay was the excellent service provided by the lovely, witty Polish waiter who served our meals in the evening. The hotel should treasure him.

The hotel's parking lot is large and self-driving is very convenient. The cost of parking for 11 hours is NOK230. The interior of the room is clean and tidy, and there are many people checking in and the check-in is very efficient. It is a very cost-effective hotel in Alesund.
