The hotel is very nice, but mainly for short trips. Parking costs are very high. Also very nice for kids (table soccer, table tennis, close to the beach)

Hotel was ok. Not happy that one member of staff came over and told us off quite abruptly/like children for eating some food in the hotel lobby (well away from the restaraunt area). Feels ridiculous (especially given no tea/coffee making in the room) and could have been communicated in a more friendly manner given how much it costs to stay

The good: The hotel’s location is excellent — right by the beach and next to Aquarama, which is super convenient, especially for families. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. The bad ( improvement suggestion): We booked a family room, and to our surprise, there was no water boiler, cups, glasses, or even coffee/tea — things that are quite standard, even in lower-star hotels. When we asked the reception, we were told these are not included in family rooms but are available in other rooms. This seems illogical — why exclude families with kids from such basic amenities? Oddly enough, there was an iron in the room but no kettle, which doesn’t make much sense. Also, while the hotel promotes sustainability by not cleaning rooms unless requested — which is understandable — we did request cleaning for the next day at the reception. However, when we returned in the evening, the room had not been cleaned at all. Breakfast was average. There were almost no warm vegetarian options, and the section with muesli and nuts was very limited as well.

Nice location, not very service oriented hotel. I liked their breakfast, but hotel was overprice, probably because of the event that they had.

Modern, clean rooms. Spacious reception and breakfast area. Good beds to sleep in - bathroom clean. Coming by car - there is easy accessible parking in basement. But it is cery expensive.

We booked the "superior" room for 2 night for a nice Easter get-away and being on their Dear Friend tier, I thought we would get a nice room. Well it turned out that we got - what I would say was a standard room for handicapped people, which was also what was initially printed on the check-in document, but then changed to the 400NOK higher rate for the superior room. I only had a very small window, far from the size you see on the website. No sofa at all ( as outlined in the description of the room)but an armchair, so we had to sit in the room one in an armchair. The other one on a normal chair. I complained, but the reception lady insisted it was a superior room, as it had a water boiler and tea (3bags) and instant coffee in the room. Quite expensive coffee/tea. I wrote a handwritten note to the manager in the arrival day. On check-out I inquired if their was any feedback. The answer was no, as management is not available during Easter, but I would get a reply in the next day or two. Needless to say, we are now 4 days after check-out and I did not get any note at all. That NEVER ever happened to me. Very bad customer service.
