Beautiful location by the sea. The room was clean and had a charming vintage/rustic design, which we loved. Before our arrival, we were given all the necessary information about our stay, as there was no staff on-site after a certain time during our visit. There was a microwave, a kettle, cutlery, and plates available, so we could easily make tea, coffee, or enjoy a small meal. We could also pre-order tapas if we wanted. Overall it was a very relaxing stay.

We were placed in the “bridal suite” and it was cute with privacy. Bed was comfy and the heated floors in the bathroom were nice. Only bummer was the hot tub wasn’t operating. Breakfast was good and we even saw the northern lights. Would recommend!

This beach hotel is excellent. Peter of Sandtorgholmen helped us find northern lights on the first night. Hotel staff helped our luggages up to the second floor. Highly recommend to stay overnight for northern light chasing.

Come on Best Western you can do better than this, it is a glorified youth hostel. No negative comments about the staff who were friendly and helpful. They provided quality buffet meal in the evening and a good breakfast in the morning. But really the room was in the main house. The walls are so thin you could everything in the next room. The bath leaked and there was a big pool of water on the bathroom floor. None of the electric sockets worked at all and I mean none. The staff were apologetic and I don’t blame them.

The hotel is very unique. Old style. We liked it. We got a very spacious and nice room on the main building ground floor. As I saw in the reviews, it is true that there is noise from the upper floor since the floor is old wooden floor. You may hear every single step in the ceiling. We did not find that as a problem though. Our only comment is that our room has no real shower. It has a bath tub with a hose, period. Very uncomfortable to bath. Apart from that, the hotel is out of the ordinary, very nice and close to the airport.

Gammelt ærverdig bygg med stort fint rom (juniorsuite). Fin utsikt og fint møblert. Det manglet imidlertid flere lysærer i lampene, sluket i badekaret var ikke tett, og flaska med bodylotion var tom - små ting som et så fint rom lett burde ha hatt i orden. Maten burde ha vært betydelig bedre, det gjelder både middag og frokost - selv om fiskesuppa og brødet var godt.

Price was steep for a youth hostel experience. This was not what I was expecting. Our “Junior Suite” was basically a large unfurnished room with a bed in it and a dungeon for a bathroom (no windows) with poor modern fittings. I thought curtains had to meet in the middle and block out the light. This would have been useful to block out the midnight sun. Outside door handle snapped off and staff had to do a temporary fix so that we could shut and lock the door. On the positive side the staff were friendly and helpful. The evening buffet meal was fine and so was the breakfast.
