Easy to find, no35 bus from airport. Lovely location by the water with promenade walks. Clean room but no drinks in room. Good breakfast. Bicycles free to borrow. Only Norwegian tv channels in room, although you can Bluetooth music from your phone to the tv. The Aquarama SATS facility with swimming pools etc are adjoined, guests can use for an extra fee. Nice and quiet despite its size. Friendly and helpful staff.

Was extremely expensive for what I paid
Compared with the price for the Hotel

Not used to European Hotels but there were no tissues or a garbage can capable of holding anything above a few tissues. We did not want cleaning service so it was a bit of an issue for me. Bed was more comfortable than expected and the room was nice. Necessities only which was fine. Breakfast was outstanding at the restaurant.

This hotel is very well located on the water, close to the central part of town. The room and staff were nice, but the AC in the room did not work and the windows could not be opened. It was hot and stuffy in the room, making it uncomfortable to sleep.

Landets beste hotell? Mitt på landets fineste bystrand! Topp beliggenhet med aquarama vegg i vegg, stranden på utsiden, å gå avstand til markens. Fantastisk!

Renhold ok. Var litt smuss langs gulv i dusj, og ikke rengjort undersiden av kran på vaskeservant. Begynnende tett sluk. Var spart på en kvart dorull etter forrige gjest.
Hadde vært koselig med en ny dorull;)

Svært hyggelig og behjelpelig personale.

Suveren frokost. Kunne ikke vært bedre.

Fikk ikke justert ned temperatur på ventilasjon. Temperatur lå konstant på ca. 24 grader.
Fikk bekreftelse fra resepsjonen at det var riktig fremgangsmåte. Kunne være at det tok veldig lang tid temperaturen begynte å synke.

Ellers ganske nakent tomannsrom. Rett og slett litt stusselig. Kun 1 stk. stol i tillegg til senga. Savnet noe å kunne sitte på ved inngang. Manglet skohorn. Ledninger hang og slang nedover veggen, bak tv.

Stort pluss for suveren beliggenhet. Området var virkelig en perle i seg selv.

Alt i alt tommel opp! Vi kommer garantert tilbake!

Stort og rummeligt værelse. Vi var 3 voksne, et barn og en hund. Virkelig venligt personale, og vi blev alle incl hund hjerteligt budt velkommen👍Der var en lille “hundegave”, og et positiv sted at medbringe en hund. Blev inkvarteret i et supperior værelse med ekstra opredning på 1. etage af hensyn til let adgang til udearealer. Fremragende faciliteter både ude og inde, hvor og man også følte sig velkommen, når man havde hund med🐶❤️God og alsidig morgenbuffet og smilende og servicemindede personale🤩Vi kommer helt sikkert igen🤓

God frokost og hyggeligpersonale. Rommet var noe slitt og badet var ikke ordentlig rent når vi kom med flekker på gulvet. Ingen egen parkering til hotellet var også negativt. Bestilte familierom med køyeseng. Et familierom bør være større enn dette, da man nesten ikke hadde noe plass til bagasjen eller noe plass på rommet. Køyesengen var helt grusomme å sove i, da madrassene var tynne og ekstremt harde. Beliggenheten til hotellet var bra, med kort avstand til strand og sentrum.

Fine rom. Litt dårlige puter. Ikkje slike gode hotell puter man ofte forbinder med hotell.
Siden hotellet ligg rett ved bystranden kom det naturligvis en del sand med seg inn på hotell rommet. Kanskje kost på rommene hadde komme godt med. Da slipper man å ta med seg sanden i sengen på natta.
Skulle gjerne sett litt større lekerom til barna. Et lite bøttekott av størrelse. Med mange barn boende på hotellet er det fort trangt på lekerommene.

Men generelt sett, bra!

Hei! Oppholdet var helt topp, men det dårlige lufteanlegget og den veldig smale glippen i vinduet gjorde natten alt for varm. Man skal slippe å måtte sove i 25 grader når man har betalt såpass mye

Rommet var lite, men tilstrekkelig. Sengen var ganske ukomfortabel, og til tross for at det var en king size-seng, var det kun en liten dyne samt to små og krøllete puter. Frokosten holdt nivået til et trestjerners hotell – eggerøren var så vidt spiselig. Jeg reiser svært ofte rundt i Norge og Europa, og etter min mening er fire stjerner for dette hotellet i overkant.

Det er også kort vei til stranden, veldig fint å gå lang sjøen på gangsti.
