GamlaVærket

Good basic, but recently renovated room (without view). Super friendly receptionist and most efficient check in I ever had. Delicious fresh breakfast. Filter coffee is complementary other coffees to be paid.

Always great to come back to this hotel. Great location, fantastic food, well-informed reception and helpful. Definitely a hotel with atmosphere. Creative rooms with loads of charm. Beds were perfect for us. We will certainly be back again and again.

The worst food I had in a long time! We came with my company and got undercooked potatoes with dry overcooked salmon and a thick cold sauce! School canteen can do better!

Place is located an excellent part of city, Sandnes. However in terms of price, the place feel like extension of the capsule hotel.

Was thinking the food looked good, but no taste, beautiful looking restaurant. But the food very bad quality. I give 4 stars for the look. But 2 start for the food.

I stayed in a single room, which was too small in size, but very cozy.Very comfortable bed! High level of cleanliness. Excellent buffet for breakfast with many options. I also had dinner at the restaurant, which was really good. Service at the restaurant didn't match the level of the cousine.Overall my experienced was positive 👍👍

While the staff was friendly and efficient, we found sticky tables that remained sticky even after they were cleaned for us, and the food, the skrei, was schockingly badly prepared, the plukkfisk was nowhere there, and the deer shank was ok but spoilt by its sauce.

We had company Christmas dinner annually at this place for the past 4 years. The service is as BAD as you can get in this town. Very rude servers, turns out everyone is a manager over there, threatening to throw my colleague out because he accidentally spilled his cola. We haven't start drinking so we were not drunk or anything yet. The waiters don't seem to know their own drink menu. One waiter got upset with me because he thought I snaps my finger at him while I called for him. I explained that that was an "ah ha" snap and not a disrespect but he just kept arguing and being unreasonable. Seems like customers have to please them instead of the other way around. The servitor are not well verse, impolite, disrespectful, power tripping ego maniacs. This not the first time we experience. As a customer I think I reserved the right not to be yelled at or disrespected. After all we are spending a boat load of money at their establishment.

Came with a friend after a walk at Borne Beach. My friend ordered the cashew burger which came with hummus and some vegetables. I had not yet had a burger in Norway and figured as it was my last night, why not get one? He seemed to love his meal. Me? Not so much. I guess they use frozen burger patties (our server had to come and tell us that there was a delay as they had to thaw one in order to make mine-I would not have ordered it, had I known). It had an odd flavor and texture. The hamburger roll was a bit dry. The fries were perfect and they gave me a tasty cheese to dip with to apologize for the delayed meal. Service was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful. Maybe if I was to go again, choosing a different option would offer a better meal.

Gamlevaerket is three things in one. Mostly, it's a restaurant with a bakery and patio. But they have guest rooms, priced well and just about the best location you can get if you are in Sandnes - on the main shopping street, near the transit center / train station, and walking distance to everything Sandnes has to offer. One tip if you stay at Gamle Vaerket - get a room that has a window to the "outside" - ie: real nighttime air. We didn't have A/C in our room and it was one of the rooms with a window opening to the inside of the hotel. Those windows can let in hotel/bar noise, but they don't cool the room down much. We still liked our room, and they had fans which helped keep it somewhat cool. (Note - their web site lists air conditioning as a feature - either #201's A/C was busted or they are generous with their definition. The outside hallway was cool, so somewhere there was air conditioning, but our room tended towards stuffy and we didn't see an obvious way to cool the room other than the two fans. I'd book one of the outside facing rooms just to be sure.) Breakfast and wifi was included. The breakfast buffet was good, including a fair variety of basics with a few regional flavors for the locals or the adventurous (herring and brown cheese, for example).

If you're a vegetarian, stay clear! I was once there due to a work related lunch, and the food I got was not good at all. Not a proper meal, just a side dish. Another time I tried to arrange a Christmas event dinner there, but was met with unfriendly feedback due to not eating meat, even though they were contacted well in advance. They left me feeling like a huge problem, so ended up going elsewhere.

Amazing coffee. Nice place. A bit pricey, bet they certainly know how to make the best coffee in Sandnes.
