Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about First Hotel Amalie from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
First Hotel Amalie enjoys a central location, convenient for exploring the town and close to the bus stop and excursion meeting points. Guests appreciate the varied breakfast, as well as the continuous availability of cake, coffee, and tea. Rooms generally feature blackout curtains and amenities like a fridge and kettle, although some guests have found the bathrooms a bit small and dated. For those looking to stay active, a Sats Crossfit gym is just a short walk away, as is a Kiwi supermarket for any essential items.

Really good Experience!

local insightsperfect radiator
Danny welcomed me at reception ,and his local insights proved invaluable. I really enjoyed the Norwegian pancakes, a simple gesture showing resident appreciation. Breakfast the following morning was amazing with a wide selection catering to diverse nationalities, and I sampled everything on offer. The room's radiator heating worked perfectly ,and the shower had great pressure.

i found the staff very helpful. they guided me as a tourist information center anytime i needed. breakfast was very nice. moreover, tea or coffee was available all the time. i did feel welcome.
the room is basic, i think. it could have had some bright pictures on the wall considering the darkness. paint was peeling off, and generally not quite clean, for what you get.
