“Naustet is the jewel in the crown”

Room was clean and comfortable, nice to have a balcony for a bit of fresh air - shower was a little strange and floods the bathroom, but water pressure is excellent.

Room was clean and comfortable, nice to have a balcony for a bit of fresh air - shower was a little strange and floods the bathroom, but water pressure is excellent. Stayed for two nights so was a little disappointed that my room wasn't refreshed - towels replaced, but not a big deal. Cafe Rene is a cosy and atmospheric bar area with cute and nostalgic silhouettes from 'Allo 'allo tv series. the Naustet restaurant is phenomenal - the decor is outstanding, as a vegetarian I wasn't excited about the singular choice, however it is hands-down the best vegetarian meal I have had in my life!

“Good for intolerant foodies”

I travelled and stayed here for an event which came with a small price subsidy. The room was pretty spacious for one person (room 475), I had no complaints really.

I travelled and stayed here for an event which came with a small price subsidy. The room was pretty spacious for one person (room 475), I had no complaints really. A mini fridge and kettle which I made good use of during my 4 day stay. The gym was small but had a small sauna which I used on a couple of occasions. Breakfast was actually great and other hotels should be aspiring to this as a good standard. Buffet style with variety of stations for omelettes, pancake etc, but more importantly for me as an intolerant for gluten and lactose its the first place I've stayed with a clear labelling and alternatives available and on display. GF breads and also GF sweet treats in the allergen corner (macarons, chocolate tart) and lots of plant milks and LF cheese. I was actually impressed with the variety of GF cakes in the bakery and GF foods in the supermarket around the corner. Cafe Rene next to the hotel also had a pretty great GF burger! Nordics are leading the way with intolerant eating which I like to see!

Last minute decision to go on a getaway and attend a Christmas show, Traditional Norwegian Christmas Dinner and get a romantic night in a hotel room. Let’s start with the show and dinner feedback. Absolute worth it. Food was excellent with a good variety of foods including traditional Norwegian food. The show gave a good laugh. Breakfast next morning was also good with everything you would expect from a Norwegian breakfast buffet. Waiters were highly professional and had a welcoming and friendly approach. You felt welcome. Now the hotel: Room was rather small and had only one rather thin duvet. The bed was a cheap hard and worn out one where you could feel the springs in the back. Two rather sad pillows in total that had lost its «fluffyness». No phone to the reception to get another duvet. Had to walk down to the reception and request one more and was given one from the receptionist as this was the most natural thing to do. The room had an old wall to wall carpet that was definitely not from this century and had also seen its better days. Probably a lot of history in it. Cleanliness could definitely improve and room was also ready for renovation. There was also a kettle in the room but no cups, coffee or tea? Should we bring our own? The temperature was too warm so had to open up the window since there was no way to control the temperature in the room. We did not have a good sleep at all. For the corridor to the room with old wall to wall carpets and «artworks» on the wall. It was like walking down the memory lane of the great 80’s when I remember this was a state of the art hotel! Will we come back? Yes for food but not for a sleep.

“An undermaintained 70s time capsule. More a museum than anything else.”

This is a 70s capsule. It’s rooms are old fashioned and basic. I have stayed a few times and there is always something niggling and wrong. It is clean and staff are friendly and cheerful as they face customers paying top dollar for an average product. I will trying other hotels when I visit aga… more
