I had a nice, clean room with a comfy bed and a super view of the harbor. Staff were really good and there is a very nice restaurant in the same building.

I had booked a three night stay here but didn’t actually stay at this hotel. When I arrived to check in for my Wed, Thu, Fri night stays I was told that the hotel would be closed on Friday. They said that they had tried to call me, but I never got any calls. My options were to stay at Nordlys for two nights and then move to the Thon Partner Hotel Skagen for the Friday night. Or I could just move to that hotel for all three nights. I didn’t really want to pack up and move just for one night so I opted to got there for all three. I think this was a mistake as the partner hotel is obviously not as nice as the one I had booked. So my review can only be of Thon Partner Hotel Skagen. The staff were lovely, breakfast was excellent, and my room was very nice. There is not gym or restaurant at this hotel. In the evening from 4 to 7 there are free waffles and from 7 to 9 free bread and soup. I tried the soup the first night and it was excellent.

When we first walked in, we did not like the look of the hotel, at all. It gave us the creeps. But the desk clerk was very, very nice and our room was nice and mostly comfortable. There was heat wave and the hotel had no air conditioning or even a fan. Our view was fabulous and the breakfast was excellent

Great hotel across from the peir with lots of restaurants and bars nearby. Breakfast was great, as usual, but parking is still a bit of a pain. Fortunately with two motorcycles we are able to park hoth in one space, which at this hotel is in the next block and free from 4 pm to 8 am, which worked well for us.

Excellent property but the rooms are a bit small. Great location next to the harbour and perfect to watch the midnight sun over the sea. Stand out thanks and praise to Melissa who helped my wife greatly when she had to make an emergency dental appointment. Thank you very much.
