Beautiful views, good location
The hotel was in a good location to walk around Ålesund. The breakfast buffet was tasty - lots of options. The staff was nice and efficient. Only negative - thin, rough towels.

Great stay with a toddler
We stayed at Scandic Parken for 2 nights with our 18 month old daughter and it was an excellent base to explore Ålesund. Parking was very convenient with a door leading from the car park straight to the hotel elevator. We were able to check in early and the requested cot was already set up in our room. The room was spacious, modern and comfortable with a bath, which is ideal with a little one! Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choice. The hotel is conveniently located for exploring Ålesund. We highly recommend.

The hotel is centrally located. We stayed there the night before the Geiranger fjord cruise. It was walkable from the hotel to the boat dock. Also, the hotel prepared a breakfast to go because we left before the dining room opened. It was very good service on their part.

Loved the property! Our king room on a higher floor had an amazing view of the town and water. View was just as good from our window as it was from that steep hike you can do to overlook the town. Ceiling to floor windows. We left curtains open all night it was so pretty.
Staff was great. Friendly and nice
Only criticism is parking. Had to parallel park on the hilly streets and move the car by like 7am or pay a lot for hotel lot. But parking in Norway at hotels is expensive and rare

It’s a wonderful location with harbor view. There are things to be improved. The Wi-Fi service was not working but the staff refused to acknowledge that. It was not due to heavy traffic because there was no signal even at 3am. And the shower doors are designated such that you always flood the bathroom when you get out of the shower
