Hustadvika Havhotell - By Classic Norway Hotels

8/10 Good
"Absolutely stunning location and a short drive to many areas of interest. We stayed in an ocean lodge that had a partial sea view. Basic kitchen. Comfy lounge area. Comfy beds and plush bedding. We had some issues with the toilet not flushing- when raised with reception they were very reluctant to address the issue but eventually did because our stay was for a few more days. The guy who came to fix it was lovely and told us if we had any more issues with it we would be given an alternative accommodation. Breakfast was a fabulous choice of hot and cold dishes, with amazing bread and cakes. We also ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent. Just to be aware, We traveled with our two dogs and stayed in pet friendly accommodation. Both Expedia and the hotels website said the charge for dogs was 300krone per accommodation per stay. I was charged 15000 krone and when I queried this I was told it was because we had 2 dogs and were staying for 7 nights. Whilst I appreciate there is the potential for extra cleaning after pets have been in accommodation, this seemed a hefty charge to pay, and we got nothing extra in terms of dog bowls, dog beds or treats etc. despite all of the positives, this would stop me returning."
