Frommer's Review
At the Molde Jazz Festival, you'll find us sitting in the Getz Bar, named after the famous saxophonist, drinking and talking to some of the world's leading jazz artists who like to stay here. This is the town's choicest traditional hotel, named for Princess Alexandra of Wales, who checked in here in the 1880s. After being destroyed and reconfigured over the years, it consists of three different structures from the '50s, '70s, and '80s, all facing a common grassy area. The hotel stands on the main street of town, overlooking the public gardens and the nearby fjord. The comfortable bedrooms are furnished in a sleek modern style. A few of the bathrooms come with a tub and shower, but most of the units contain only a shower. The hotel is one of the best equipped in town, and its restaurant, Varthusaet (reviewed separately), and bar are popular with both locals and visitors.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
