Nice room and breakfast.
Good location and nice rooms. Breakfast also good. Would recommend hotel but wish someone could tell me what the strange Norwegian preference for single duvets relates to.....

Hotel had the basics. It was a bit austere. Neighborhood seems to be slowly becoming gentrified. Some blocks were very nice. Some blocks were shaky. Waterfront a few blocks away was very nice. On the street curb parking.

Great hotel
We had a nice stay at this hotel. It was a short walk to shopping, restaurants, and waterfront. The hotel seemed brand new, the room was clean, and the bathroom nicely designed. We had the breakfast buffet the next morning and took a hot coffee to go, which was great.

Excellent, friendly service
Very nice hotel. Quiet, clean rooms with comfortable beds. The room was small (normal by Norwegian standards). It was easy to get a roll away bed for our teenager who joined us at the last minute. Excellent breakfast buffet, as is typical in Norway. Tiny workout room in the basement.

Nice central location.
Stayed two nights recently on a business trip. Had not stayed in this chain of hotels before but would have no hesitation of choosing this brand again in the future. Room was ok but although the bed was a double it comes with the standard 'Austrian' twin idea of two single quilts which personally I don't like. Another small personal gripe is that there were no toiletries just large wall mounted tubs of liquid soap and shampoo.

Great hotel, fabulous customer service
Stayed here for 4 nights, first and foremost, the customer service was outstanding, all the staff I encountered where amazing, they couldn't do enough for me and nothing was a bother :) I'm delighted I stayed here. The room was lovely, modern and clean, the bathroom was epic with a ginormous walk in shower. The all u can eat buffet breakfast is a great touch, with amazing choice of continental or full cooked breakfast items and the usual cereals and breads etc etc. I also used the gym and business centre services and while it's small it's more than adequate. Overall a very definate favourite hotel choice. I would also like to say thanks to the day and night time reception people, especially the night guy, he was very accomadating, approachable and a really nice interesting guy to talk to. Again thanks very much scantic Haugesund :)

Great hotel, Haugesund not so great
We have nothing to fault with the hotel, the staff were awesome, all were friendly and helpful. Haugesund as a place is not amazing although we did go in the festive period when most/ everybody were away so maybe it comes to life in the warmer months?

Great Hotel great location!!
Very clean maintained hotel. Great location to the harbour for bars and restaurants only a 3 minute walk. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Loved my rooms beds really comfortable and room was really well furnished. My only negative comment would be having to pay for all day parking at the hotel as its not owned by the hotel. But apart from that my experience was very pleasant. Would stay there again.

First Business trip to Noorway. Scandic Haugesund
Looks very acceptable. Certainly there are 'cultural differences' at bedtime, with bed linens turned down in such a way that guests have to, in practice make their own bed. Shower units are different, and take a little getting used to. Breakfast servers, (equipment) are a challenge when serving yourself breakfast, and by virtue of this may not be considered sanitary. The hotel had charged my credit card for the stay, due to 'new receptionist', even though the room had been prepaid. (This was refunded after about three days and my complaint) Obviously when comparing with US hotels of identical rating, this hotel lacked the standards normally found in the US. (This is possibly a poor comparison as US hotels at this level are usually of a higher standard) Overall, my stay was acceptable. Cultural differences and VERY high costs where a shock. I would recommend the hotel, but only because the cultural and economic differences are common to the country, and I cannot compare it to other hotel units in Norway.
