I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had great cross ventilation and a fabulous walk-in shower, making the stay very comfortable. The service, although not over the top, was still excellent, and they made sure we had a good experience. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Haugesund close to everything you need. The dining experience was decent with tasty jams. The facilities were top-notch providing everything we needed during our stay.
