Quality Hotel™ Skjærgården

This a place that you want to come with your kids. I mean adults too! We definitely hit the waterslide that has a timer so you can see the fastest time of the day etc...If I remember right the hot tubs were not really very hot so that was a downer. The rooms are decent. Pretty average; but hey, you have all the kids activities. The staff is average. The restaurant was, well, Okay; very friendly staff at the restaurant but we ended up traveling to nearby towns for food after the first night. That said, our group are kind of foodies and the meals are not terrible. The breakfast included with the room was "okay" as well. Now just to let travelers know. If you are from the USA this breakfast is an absolute dream, but by Norwegian standards pretty average. When we where there the breakfast engineers were trying to layout the breakfast so that it makes sense. You know, it is nice to find butter near the bread, or plates and cutlery in one area, so we gave them some ideas of how people think when they have to navigate a breakfast pre-coffee. Would I stay here? Yes, I have a seven year old daughter and she would love the pool and water slides etc..

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon. Very good parking just a few meters from the main entrance. Quiet and few guests at arrival. Check-in went smooth and I was informed that the restaurant was closed, but they could fix a pizza or something if I wanted. Elevator to my seaside room at fourth floor was clearly marked by the years. Same with the corridor to the rooms. The doors to the rooms had holes and markings from changing lock-systems. Anyway, the room had magnificent ocean view. It was fairly large, clean but felt initially a bit outdated. Same with the quite spacious bathroom - a taste of the eighties. I hate soap from dispensers in hotels. There are signs everywhere about saving the planet. Not quite sure if this is a temporary motivation to save costs for the hotel? The toiletpaper was so thin it was impossible to roll out in one piece. The air was not really fresh and there were no aircondition. This was easily solved by opening the window and suck the fresh sea-breeze! What I really liked was the large 4k TV with a good selection of channels. Bed was superb! I had a very (very) good nights sleep! Breskfast pretty standard. Nice selection of ecological alternatives. The eggs was nice, but they should also offer scrambled eggs from ecological eggs, not eggpowder. The room is somewhat pricy, but given all the pool-facilities it includes, it is not bad at all - even breakfast and parking. In general, a nice stay and I will happily return. Maybe I will concider a fourth star then!

We spent 2 nights here and our kids (1, 3, 5 yo) had a LOT of fun. The service was very friendly and they clearly made an effort to give kids a great experience. My boys loved the nightly magic show, the water park, indoor playground and bouncey castle. I’m giving the hotel a 4 instead of a 5 because I was very disappointed that the swim park was not better maintained and the parts of the hotel that haven’t been renovated yet (Im assuming they just haven’t gotten to the entire hotel but are planning too) are a little shabby. The parts that have been renovated look great. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I think this is a great place for families.

Attentive, service oriented staff. The room was comfortable & surprisingly quiet. The pools were excellent! The outdoor terrace restaurant was great, the buffet was not great, but had a lot of options for kids.

Arranged by bus tour company. Hotel is located on a lake and has outdoor activities. Main, older building has a charming, lodge-like atmosphere. Hotel can accommodate large groups and functions. Hotel has excellent health room and indoor pool. Ground level is modern and attractive. Breakfast buffet is very good. As in all of Scandinavia, prices are very high for drinks or food. Our bedroom and bathroom were small with little room for suitcases. Walk-in shower tends to leave the entire floor wet. Mattress typical for Scandinavia: two-inch foam mattress on a box frame. A quilted coverlet instead of top sheets. Mattress, however, was comfortable enough.
