Fin kväll i maj

Fick ett SMS med koden till ytterdörren, sen innanför så låg kuvert till oss som kom efter reception stängt. Med nyckel till rummet! Stort hemtrevligt rum. Sov gott! Fint stort badrum med dusch. Jättefin frukost i lilla matsalen!! Uppdukat på varje bord, där gäster skulle sitta. Väldigt gulligt, fint och gott!
Fina frukosten!

Sentralt i Henningsvær

Veldig bra standard på rom og suveren betjening. Fikk levert frokost på rommet kvelden før vi måtte dra til tidlig ferge. Liten fratrekk for temperatur på rommet. Noe for varmt av en eller annen grunn. Fant ikke noe termostat. Veldig god og sentral beliggenhet. Kommer gjerne igjen.

trivelig overnattingssted med sjarm

Hadde litt problem med å finne fram siden skiltet på bygget var annet enn navnet på bestillingen. Også litt problematisk med å kjøre til p.g.a. gågater og manglende plasser bak gjesthuset. Men personalet ordnet raskt plass til oss da vi fortalte om problemet. Ellers veldig trivelig sted, meget romslig og hyggelig rom, likeså frokost i kafeen på gateplanen.

Veldig bra hotell. Bad som lett ble veldig vått. Altfor mye kjøtt til frokost som ikke kunne leveres tilbake. Mye kasting av mat. Ellers topp rom og hyggelig ansatte.

Cozy and friendly

We couldn't have been happier with our stay at the charming little hotel right in the middle of Henningsvær. Our room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the breakfast was amazing, and staff was most helpful. The water pressure in the shower was a bit of a challenge at times, but other than that, everything was perfect.

Flott gjestehus.

Fint lite gjestehus beliggende i sentrum av Henningsvær med god service og hyggelig betjening. Rommene hadde bra størrelse og det var rent. Frokostbordet var dekket når vi kom ned for å spise og maten var meget bra. Veldig hyggelig oppholdt.
