Ageing hotel with qualities, but high price tag.
Nice hotel with outstanding views. But almost comically overpriced, as the whole building is in need of a refresh.

The restaurant was not open on Christmas Day except for breakfast. Hotel staff told us restaurants around town would be open on Christmas Day. This was incorrect. As no restaurants were open and we went hungry on Christmas Day

Tiny room
The room was tiny and we received a downgrade instead of the upgrade.
The reservation was for a room with bathtube….the picture of the bathroom will explain.

Excellent staff, very good breakfast, clean, modern room, worst bathroom design ever. Architect obviously thought to cleverly fit everything into a closer space but must have never tried to sit at the toilet or take a shower. Coumd jave worked if he had turned things around.

Veldig hyggelig personale, både i resepsjonen og restauranten. Angående renhold på rommene, kunne det vært bedre opplyst når vi kom at vi selv måtte gi beskjed om vi ville ha nye hånduker og oppredde senger hver dag. Der ble det en misforståelse.

Veldig hyggelig hotell m flott utsikt og god comfort. Frokosten var super og betjeningen var veldig hyggelig. Hotellbaren kunne hatt litt bedre utvalg f.eks liten vits å ha gin i barskapet uten å ha tonic 😀, men trivelig betjening.

Huoneen varustelu tasossa parantamisen varaa
Olimme ns. koirahuoneessa. Huoneessa ei ollut juomalaseja, WC-paperia pieni jämä. Olisi ollut kiva lisä jos huoneessa olisi jääkaappi. Lisäksi peitot olivat todella paksut ehkä hyvät talvella, mutta kesäaikaan ne olivat ehdottomasti liian paksut.

Anbefales ikke
Vi er ikke fornøyd med oppholdet.
Vi hadde bestilt overnatting i to døgn, men reiste etter en natt.
Årsak: Det var veldig lytt på hotellet. I etasjen under oss var det bryllup med høy musikk, vi fikk ikke sove før etter klokka 02:00 på natten. Også veldig lytt mellom rommene.
Badet var svært lite, nærmest et kott. Det manglet håndklær.
Vi ble krevd for betaling sjøl om vi hadde forhåndsbetalt, måtte vise kvittering.
Senga var god, frokosten var god.

midt på treet
Greit hotell. Varmt rom uten aircondision.( når været var varmt) Små bad uten avtrekk. Skitt i dusjkummen , ellers ok renhold. Vonde puter. Virket som spisesalen var for liten i forhold til antall rom på hotellet, noe som tidvis førte til "stinn brakke" og vanskelig å få plass. Men maten var god. Lett for å tråkke i reinsdyrmøkk på utsiden. India har hellige kuer som går i gatene. Hammerfest har reinsdyr

Et trivelig opphold i Hammerfest
Fantastisk frokost med trivelig kokk, god utsikt og fantastisk mat, trivelige folk og god service i resepsjonen. Har man bodd på Thon-hoteller mange ganger så savner man jo selvfølgelige ting på rommet, som kaffe, te, vannkoker, skoskje og noe så enkelt som et kort som står ferdig i lysbryteren slik at man slipper å sette nøkkelkortet der. Nøkkelkortet var en egen øvelse, vi fikk to, men kun det ene virket. Vi fikk programmert nytt i resepsjonen og derme sluttet det andre å virke, skjedde to ganger så vi ha opp og klarte oss jo med ett kort, men så satte vi jo det som virket i den lysbryteren med en feil og låste døra etter oss… og en ny tur ned i resepsjonen for programmering av det andre…
