Farris Bad

My daughter and I spent a fantastic night at this spa hotel. The location is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed many treasures that were on offer from herbal steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzi’s and mineral grotto’s. It was an absolute indulgence that did not disappoint. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable and all the staff were very friendly and helpful

Checked in and while our room was small, the beds were comfy and the rooms had what we needed. Sauna and spa was lovely. Lots of choices and different saunas to experience.

Everything was perfect , the spa was good. The room was clean and I got an amazing sleep in their soft bed. The food was delicious and the whole stay was 10/10. I will come back!

Farris Bad is a luxury spa with a beautiful view of Skagerrak. On a good day, it feels like a great place to relax and enjoy a high-end experience—at a high price. However, after multiple visits, I've noticed some downsides that make me hesitant to recommend the full experience. On two separate occasions, either I or a companion left with a streptococcal infection. While this could be coincidental, it does raise concerns about hygiene standards. The restaurant food is another letdown; it's overpriced, dry, and often overly salted. Despite paying a premium, the quality simply doesn’t match up. The spa itself is the highlight, offering a range of saunas, pools, and unique experiences. It’s genuinely relaxing and well-designed. However, I’d suggest only booking the spa services and staying elsewhere, as the rooms feel small and uncomfortable. The experience becomes especially frustrating during peak times like Christmas when the hotel restricts access to the spa and, last year, even experienced a lengthy water shutdown. Many guests couldn’t shower or use basic amenities, yet refunds or adjustments were hardly offered. Overall, while Farris Bad has potential, it’s overhyped and overpriced. I might have been unlucky, but the way my concerns were handled last time leaves me unsure if I’d give it another try.

First and foremost, we are incredibly disappointed.||We believed Farris Bad was one of Norway's best spa hotels, offering top-quality experiences. That’s why I happily treated my pregnant partner to a birthday stay, including a maternity package with a prenatal massage.||||Shortly after arrival, we were told the therapist was unavailable due to illness. I assumed we’d get a proper refund and enjoy the rest of the spa. Instead, we paid 600 NOK per person for an unimpressive lunch buffet.||||The spa itself was a huge letdown: a cold main pool, overcrowded grotto, and saunas my pregnant partner couldn’t use. An outdoor jacuzzi was far too cramped. The milk bath we were offered as compensation was one of the few highlights.||||Dinner was equally mediocre, far from what we expected. The room was fine, and the beds were decent but nothing remarkable.||||At checkout, I was told we’d only get 600 NOK refunded for the canceled massage since we booked a package. This is unacceptable when the whole point of the trip was the massage, and the rest didn’t justify the price. I expect this matter to be addressed.

An absolutely wonderfull stay With very fair prices. Best spa Area i have ever been to and the selection at the breakfast buffet Excellent. Staff was very Nice and all in all one Of the best hotel i have been to.

Not sure what I was expecting but was not that impressed. I am all for signing up for a time in the spa area but then I expect that I dont feel crowded. I felt crowded in every single area of the spa area. For the price you are charged for a simple room, I expected to really feel relaxed. As to the room. If you are placed in a corner with absolutely no view, only the opposite wall of the hotel, then you shouldnt pay the same as those with a somewhat view. Positive - breakfast. A good and wide selection. But again, with the price I would expect a «a-ha» experience, perhaps somewhat making and bringing me fresh coffee instead of from a machine.

Great rooms, good view with evening sun, tidy and clean. Good selection of various saunas and pools. A perfect hotel to get away from everyday life. Recommend taking as many rituals as possible during your stay, it makes the experience very special. Recommended!

First time visiting a spa hotel. I had very high expectations, but Farris did not quite measure up. No coffee or tea in rooms, which to me is a huge let down. Pooooor WiFi! Very little info on when and where to go for breakfast and refreshments, except a sign inside the elevator listing dining schedules. Breakfast was below average, a very watery selection of veggies and eggs. Lunch was better, but had two chicken dishes with almost no chicken. Minimalism? Hotel bathrooms not the cleanest, shower heads need some attention, especially in room 268. Surprisingly, there were no goodies other than bath salt and shower caps in the bathroom. Would at least have expected a lotion sample or something? Since, it's a spa hotel? Very nice ocean view tho. And saunas. Comfortable beds. I am feeling relaxed, so three stars are in order. PS. Parking is NOT included, almost 400 NOK across the street.

Great place Lots of pools Great hot tub Also really nice ladder to the sea Love it here
