Hotel Brosundet

Once again I'm returning to this fine hotel in the heart of Alesund. Welcoming staff, very nice reception area/relaxing hall. Cozy intimate interior in all rooms. A place to feel at home or on holiday even being at work. Comfortable sleep. Nice breakfast. Will be back.

We stayed four nights at Brosundet in relation to work nearby, and having visited many hotels in Ålesund earlier, this one included, Brosundet has every time given the little extra that we love, and showed to be the best hotel in the city for our taste. Recommending the cosy lobby with a spectacular fireplace, and many nice areas to sit for work, relax or socialise, including a beautiful breakfast hall with coffee and delicious teas all day long. The rooms are good and comfortable, all with really nice views to the harbour or a picturesque streetscape, and the bathrooms with heated floors are a win in the Nordic winters. In addition they take great COVID-19 precautions with a really good breakfast service. We know where to go next time in Ålesund, and would recommend anyone a visit to Brosundet, if not for a room, at least for a glass in the lobby with the locals. Thanks for a great stay.

An old warehouse transformed into a stylish yet cozy hotel. Great location, many rooms with seaview. We got a spacious room with seaview, comfy beds, great bathroom with floorheating and very good toiletries. Due to covid-19 a nice breakfast was served on a plate at the table. Very nice lobby area with a large fireplace. Staff was friendly and efficient.

The hotel is quite cozy and feels a bit like a boutique hotel. But we booked a superior double room. The room we got looked nice, but was placed directly underneath the breakfast area. And with wooden floors it gets very loud. I was woken at 7am. When I told this to the receptionist, she replied “ush da”, which translates to something like not good, she didn’t follow up in any way. The app initially showed that we got a room on the second floor, but somehow we got moved. If you get a good room, the hotel probably deserves a 4 or 5 rating!

My work takes me to a lot of hotels all around Norway. It is easy to grow tired of hotel-rooms and routines when you have been staying on the road for weeks. I had early in september a three days stay at Hotel Brosundet. When I was ready to check out I was really sorry to realize that it was impossible to take this hotel with me further on my tour. The staff were even more helpful than you can exspect, super room with beatiful view to Aksla, a small water conduit (Brosundet) right outside my window and safe handling of necessary infection control measures. And Ålesund city is absolutely worth a visit with its architechture, history and fantastic surroundings. Thanks for a memorable stay!
