Fredriksten Hotell

I arrived here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was inconvenient that the restaurant was closed for dinner, so I had to take a taxi to another one. ​In the morning, when I looked at the view, the hotel's high location offered the best possible panorama. The fortress was right next door, so I walked over, and exploring it was also wonderful. ​The view, a harmony of the sea and the autumn foliage, was so beautiful that I can't forget it. ​The Norwegian-style breakfast was also a pleasant start to the day. ​Alternative, slightly more emotional phrasing: ​I got here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was a hassle that the restaurant was already closed for dinner, forcing me to get a taxi to find a place to eat. ​However, the morning view was absolutely stunning; the hotel's elevated position provided the best possible panorama. Being right next to the fortress, I simply walked over, and the visit was fantastic. ​The scenery—with the sea meeting the autumn colors—was so breathtaking that it's unforgettable. ​The Norwegian-style breakfast was also a wonderful touch.

Everything was as I expected. The rooms were very clean. I’ve never slept in such soft and comfortable bedding before. The staff was very friendly. The area was very nice and peaceful. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of products.

Excellent location, beautiful view. The hotel provides an opportunity to relax in nature. Responsive and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast and delicious meals in the restaurant. Cozy and modern room with comfortable bed and fancy bathroom. I only have a comment regarding the mini bar in the room. It didn't work and didn't cool the drinks and in the room was a little bit hot.

The hotel is perfect located on the top of Halden, and right next to Fredriksten festning with beautiful views over the city and the ocean. We chose the Superior double room, clean and spacious. No view over the city on the first floor. Coffee machine in the room, but no water boiler for tea. Nice breakfast, local food and much of it homemade. I love their food filosofy (don't grab more than you eat, don't throw away food). A nice walk down to the city for dinner or drinks, a steep return but a nice walk. Lovely staff, but only one at work in front the weekend we visited. We brought our dog, that was not a problem.

Basic clean rooms and it was nice to have enough shampoo and conditioner with long hair 😁 Breakfast was great. The view from the hotel is amazing. It was short way to the city centre and to Fredriksten fortress. But you need quite a good condition to walk up and down 😁. I will definitely go back.

Easy parking and walking distance from the fort & city center. Super clean and big room with a great view. Friendly, cheerful staff and the breakfast was amazing. There is a piece of the fort's outer wall next to the hotel, the views from picknicktable there were breathtaking. 5/5 - I would love to stay here again (I planned to stay for 2 nights to check out the fort and go shopping in Nordby the day after. I should've stayed at least a 3rd night, because there was a lot more to do.)

I had a bad weekend here at a wedding. Almost the hole wedding party got the wrong rooms but they were able to fix it a little. making some small mistakes can happen and is something that sometimes may happen but then I would expect them to fix it but that is were I felt they did a bad job. We didn't get what we wanted either but then I thought they were able to fix us a double room for one night and with the mes they were willing to give us a discount but then when I checked out on the last day I found that I hadn't gotten a discount but instead needed to pay extra for both nights and that is unacceptable. not only that but when we had breakfast the waiter wasn't willing to let everyone finish eating at out table before taking our plates and when we asked for it back then there was no apology except a rude smirk. ||||We had two different rooms so I can rate them both and the small room was incredibly small, in fact its the smallest hotell room I have been in I think. The larger double room was good but noisy. The rooms are far from soundproof and we could hear every room around us. The hall on the floor above us were people were walking all night witch should be ok but since the rooms had such thin walls then it got disruptive. ||||I can end this with stating that the location with a great view was nice but the rest was appalling. This is a hotell I must regrettably not be able to recommend to anyone.

Likely the best place to stay in Halden. Perfect for a weekend trip. Close to both the fortress and city center. I was going to give 4 stars but the kindness and warmth of the staff deserves 5/5. Both ladies gave great advice and were able to help us with everything necessary, and beyond. Breakfasts are of a 5 star hotel level and the dinner is also of high quality. My only recommended improvement would be to repaint some areas of the rooms as the paint is starting to peel. Otherwise, everything is of great standard.
