Vesterålen Kysthotell

I stayed here to get to another place for my business meeting as it was close to the airport. I arrived late at night and couldn't phone a taxi from the airport to the hotel so I called the hotel and they kindly ordered one for me. They had described how I would get into the hotel and my room and when I arrived they were there to greet me and let me in themselves anyway despite the fact that is was the middle of the night. The room was fine and all I needed with a kettle for tea. The view was stunning. But the best experience was when I had to leave. They had prepared the most thoughtful breakfast for me to take with and they called me another taxi, too. The staff really makes this hotel! they were so friendly, thoughtful and kind. I would go back.

Following a recent restructure and evaluation of its abundant assets in accommodations, this hotel has become more than a place to sleep and eat - it’s a cozy oasis from the harsh and fierce elements so common to us in Northern Norway. During a business trip working outside in extreme weather conditions for a couple of days, it was a joy entering this hotel and be greeted with capable, enthusiastic and helpful staff. No request on our behalf were too complex or difficult to fulfill. It seems that everyone works together organically, are empowered to do as they see best, yet managed in a way where we the customers do not notice anything. One would be forgiven to mistake this to be an effectively run family hotel - and I mean this in the most complimentary manner possible. Food is abundant virtually all day long (at least when we where there), breakfast simple but more than decent enough, super tidy, clean everywhere, and the hotel room spacious (though not luxurious, very comfortable but old fashioned - a welcome change to the plentiful modern hotels) with everything working as it should. I believe they also have apartments closer to the coast, as well as a camping area. In a nutshell, if they continue like this they might just epiphanise what accommodation in Northern Norway should all be about - majestic nature seen through large windows with cheery guests all around, because they feel at home.

Accommodatie is goed, voldoende voor 4 personen om enkele dagen te verblijven. huiskamer is niet groot maar bij mooi weer kun je op het balkon zitten met mooi uitzicht op o.a. het hurtigrutenmuseum. Klein minpuntje; bij het ontbijt was er alleen gewoon brood om zelf te snijden, niets geen broodjes of croissantjes. Of ze zijn er niet of erg snel op en worden niet meer aangevuld
