Hotel 1904 is our Luxury pick in Ålesund. It suits couples and travellers who want to walk to the centre and the ferries, stay on a street guests describe as quiet and start the day with a good breakfast.
Family rooms, a garden and a terrace are listed by the property, so it can work for families too.
Skip it if space matters most. Guests like the design but some describe their room as small or cramped. Also note it is a 4-star, not a 5-star.
Location and getting around
The address is Løvenvoldgata 8. Guests rate the location 9.6 out of 10 and describe a quiet street within walking distance of attractions and ferries.
Jugendstilsenteret is about 0.4 km away in a straight line, roughly 5 minutes on foot. The other two sights in our data are much further. Valderøy Church is about 3.7 km, roughly 46 minutes walking, and Alnes Lighthouse is about 10 km, around 125 minutes. Both are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi.
Parking is not listed in our data. If you are driving, ask the hotel about options and fees.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 1,342 reviews, joint first of 7 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Breakfast earns specific praise: a wide variety of fresh options and a staffed barista coffee station. The listed styles are Continental, vegetarian, gluten-free and buffet. The central yet quiet location is the other strong point.
Room size is the main complaint. Guests call the rooms well designed, but some find the layout small or cramped.
