ComparePositive reviews
- The food was excellent (and the breakfast probably the best we've ever had), the staff was friendly and the location was perfect for our visit.
- Best breakfast ever
- Location was beautiful. Modern and stylish interior. Huge spread for breakfast.
- Service from the staff ,providing tips to discover the islands !! Super team super helpful !! The wide range off diversity in buffet in the morning for breakfast !!
- That hotel is amazing, it should be 5 stars. We had a very big room with a beautiful sea view, very comfortable beds, big bathroom. It exceeded my expectations. Breakfast was also great, huge variety of food. Very modern and clean hotel. There was no noise from other rooms or corridor, therefore, I think the rooms have good soundproof isolation.
Negative reviews
- Thin walls,we could very clearly hear neughbours and the bar and disco at the upper level
- While they have a gym, it's small and the machines aren't very good.
- I wish the bathroom door for suite 111 was wider. It is a waste of money to make such a fantastic suite and not be able to enter the bathroom with an electric wheelchair.
- I stayed in a standard room where the mattress was uncomfortably soft, likely due to age. However, the bigger issue was the lack of communication regarding the underwater tunnel between Frøya and Hitra, which is currently closed after 20:30 in the evening. It would have been helpful if the hotel had informed me of this in advance, either through a message on the booking platform or when I called to confirm my check-in time. As a result, I had to wait from 20:30 to 21:45 for the tunnel to reopen, as there is no alternative route to reach the hotel.
- Therese was a party at the Sky Bar. So noisy that it wasn’t possibble neither to use the television nor sleep. Recommand not to use these rooms, that are beneath the bar while there is a party going on. No sleep till after 1 o’clock.
