Huoneessa olo kokolattiamatto, joka hieman laskee arvosanaa, sillä se aiheutti tukkoisuutta. Muutoin huone oli siisti. Yleiset tilat olivat viihtyisät ja henkilökunta ystävällistä. Aamupala oli loistava ja monipuolinen. Näköala huoneesta oli upea.

I checked in on Monday, 9 March 2026. The two front desk agents, Therese and Joan were amazing. Both were attentive and made everyone feel welcome. Therese checked me in directly and Joan stopped by to offer conversation as well as a warm welcome. Great start to the stay! The room itself was fine. Clean and we'll attended. The bed wasn't anything spectacular, which you might hope for at this price point. I was out on adventures (snowmobiling, wandering, etc.) so I never had an opportunity to utilize the sauna and jacuzzi. However, I met a couple who had used it and said that it was enjoyable. Breakfast was included and was delicious. I had a burger and drinks at the bar and these were good as well. My only curiosity is they have a beautiful dining room with great views that is only open during breakfast and dinner hours. It closes at 10 am and reopen at 6 pm, so it basically sits empty for 8 hours a day. It would be nice to be able to sit in this space during the day to have a cup of coffee, etc. Seems a bit underutilized. The staff were amazing. Everyone I encountered was attentive and thoughtful. Camila checked me out, as well as offered me a cup of coffee while I wanted for transportation to the airport. The location is stunning as well (walking distance to the high street as well as the sea). Highly recommended. I cannot wait to return!

Hotel confortável. Mas bastante impessoal. Meu quarto, muito bom, ficava num anexo, cerca de 20 metros, o que ficou desconfortável porque o cafe da manha era no predio principal. Com o inverno rigido, necessario se vestir completamente pra tomar cafe da manha. Anunciam que tem spa ( cobrado adicional), mas nunca tem lugar. Somente 8 pessoas na sauna, com horario marcado, e a jacuzzi tambem. Tudo lotado. Tentei agendar na hora do check in. Nao tinha vaga e o spa nao abre na segund-feira, que seria o meu dia livre de atividades. Desapontamento.

Meget venlige og hjælpsomme medarbejdere. Restauration Nansen serverer dejlig mad, god betjening. Hotellet har fin beliggenhed, centralt. Ikke store værelser. Stikkontakter der ikke virkede blev repareret hurtigt. Der mangler sengebord/hylde og der er ikke andet man kan bruge. På badeværelset mangler hylder/bord hvor man kan stille toiletsager mm og der mangler især knager til badekåber, tøj og håndklæder. Disse ting kunne nemt og billigt opsættes.
