Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the harbor where cruise ships dock, making it convenient for exploring Honningsvåg. The rooms, while small and facing the port, lacked blackout curtains, affecting sleep quality. The friendly service was a highlight, though we did encounter some unhelpful staff. The dining experience was subpar, especially during busy tourist group times.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The fantastic and courteous service from the two girls at reception stood out, but the room was small and shabby, making it hard to sleep with the constant daylight. The location was great for exploring Honningsvag but lacked amenities, and the dining options were average. The staff were friendly but seemed focused on maximizing profits from tourists.
Despite the small and shabby rooms without blackout curtains making it difficult to sleep due to constant daylight during our stay, the hotel staff went out of their way to be very helpful and kind. The remote location is great for a quiet walk around Honningsvag, even though it can get busy with coach parties. The dining experience, although ok, was basic and somewhat affected by the arrival of tour groups, with classic dishes served.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was big, quite clean, and had an old stylish charm, but the lack of blackout lining on the curtains made it difficult to sleep with the constant daylight. The service was nice overall, although there was a slight feeling they wanted to maximize profits from tourists. The location was good for exploring Honningsvag and not far from Nordkap, but it was disrupted by renovations happening nearby. The dining experience was okay, with some freshness issues but compensated by a warm welcome at reception and a lovely view of the harbor from my room. However, it was clear that dining was more basic and crowded during group arrivals. The facilities were decent, offering sweet biscuits as a nice touch.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, while outdated and lacking basic amenities, were clean but not the most comfortable, especially due to the lack of blackout curtains. The service was a bit of a mixed bag with staff looking to profit from tourists, but some individuals were genuinely helpful. The location was excellent for exploring Honningsvag and convenient for visiting North Cape, although quite remote. The dining experience was average with basic options, and unfortunately, I couldn't try the food due to an early departure. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory but nothing outstanding.
