Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located near Sandnes and great for exploring the beautiful fjords of Rogaland. The atmosphere was calm and the gardens charming. While the rooms were comfortable, the dining experience could use some improvement, especially regarding breakfast options. Overall, I found it to be a good value for money, but a few aspects fell short of expectations.
The hotel is located in a picturesque area that’s convenient for visiting Preikestolen and Lysefjord, providing a quiet escape just outside the city. The rooms, while spacious, could use some updates as they felt a bit shabby and lacked amenities like a mini bar. The service provided by the staff was excellent, helping us with directions and local assistance. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options.
I had a decent stay at the hotel with clean rooms and friendly staff. The location was fantastic, especially for visiting Preikestolen and Lysefjord, but the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations due to limited breakfast options. The facilities need some updating, but overall, it was a fair value for the price I paid.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is perfect for those looking to explore Preikestolen and Lysefjord, and the service was incredibly helpful when we needed assistance. However, the rooms were quite disappointing with shabby furniture and an old-fashioned TV. While the dining options were decent, some items ran out early, which was a letdown.
I stayed at the hotel recently, and while it was nice and quiet, with a great location for exploring the nearby fjords, I found the rooms to be a bit outdated and on the small side. The service was competent but not particularly warm, which made me feel a bit overlooked. However, the dining experience was fantastic, especially the breakfast spread, and I appreciated the great value for money overall.
