the hotel’s outdated decor is simply disgraceful, with brown marks in the bathroom. I almost gave a good review until the breakfast underwhelmed me with its dry scrambled eggs and bizarre tomato beans replaced by 'wiener pølse. ' I expected at least a complimentary upgrade for my troubles, but here I am just like everyone else—how unoriginal.

The fries at dinner were next level, crispy with just the right amount of seasoning! Plus, the evening meal was included at a great price, making it easy to fill up after a day of exploring Sandefjord. The lobby's complimentary coffee and cake from 3 to 5 PM? A sweet surprise!

The room was spacious, but carrying bags was awkward with steps around.

A cozy stay with delightful service

The hotel features welcoming staff who offered evening meals and tips for exploring Sandefjord. Breakfast was a standout, with a delightful array of fresh choices, including pastries and fruits.

The room lacked air conditioning, which made for warm nights and some bathroom facilities felt dated, creating minor inconvenience during the stay.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortably accommodated our large family, including three kids. The whale theme throughout the hotel added a unique touch to our experience, and the 24/7 availability of tea and coffee was a big hit.

My children wished for more activities catered to their age group.

The room was spacious with a private bathroom and seating area. Loved the spa facilities like the sauna and solarium. Amenities included an electric kettle, TV with satellite channels, and hand sanitiser. The comfy bathrobe made it feel extra cozy. The overall vibe was so relaxing and the service was top-notch!

The hotel boasts a lovely historic atmosphere with fascinating artifacts, making it unique. Though the mini gym doesn't open until later, the room was spacious and quiet.

great stay with minor areas for improvement

The staff delivered exceptional service, making arrangements for an early breakfast that met our needs perfectly. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the room were impressive, creating a comfortable atmosphere throughout our stay. I appreciated the attention to detail—the vegetarian meal crafted specially for me was both delicious and fulfilling. the historical ambiance of the hotel added a unique charm to our experience.

The mini gym had limited operating hours, which might be inconvenient for some guests.

It was just a nice choice for a cursory stop in Sandefjord with great value-to-price ratio. The staff was friendly, and I appreciated the yarn crafts display throughout the lobby. Try to request a room away from the main street for a quieter night.
