Reviews
A pleasant stay in a comfortable hotel. Professional staff who always keep a smile on their faces, from front reception to housekeeping to dining. Thank you!
Unfortunately, that does not outweigh our major disappointment.
The only reason I booked this hotel was because of the swimming pool and wellness facilities. I was traveling with my two children, who like to swim every day, and this was a decisive factor in choosing this — rather expensive — hotel.
Upon arrival, however, we were informed that the pool was closed due to renovations. No swimming pool. No wellness. No alternative offered.
What makes this even more frustrating is that there was no prior communication about this closure. According to the hotel, they were supposedly not allowed to inform guests due to GDPR regulations. I find that very strange, since I did receive other communication from them after I asked a question before our stay. So apparently, communication is possible. Moreover, there is no mention of the closure on their website either. That, we were told, was due to an IT issue.
It feels like there is an explanation for everything, but no real accountability.
We paid a high price for facilities that were simply not available. The compensation offered was not proportional to the loss of the swimming pool and wellness — facilities that were a major reason for booking this hotel in the first place.
Again, the staff themselves are not to blame. They are the ones delivering the message and remained friendly throughout, which I truly appreciate. But as a hotel, this level of transparency and communication is simply below standard.
Norway is amazing. This hotel, unfortunately, is not one I would recommend.
