Lindesnes Havhotell

The double room was “prepared” only for one person. I had to go back to the reception, where they didn’t seem to care at all! The hotel management is completely incompetent, and the reception staff are poorly trained – they have no idea how to handle complaints. I specifically asked for my complaint to be escalated to the head of reception – did that happen??? Definitely not! The hotel was nearly empty, yet we were given a room far away, without a view and right next to another occupied one. We disturbed each other unnecessarily – totally avoidable! At check-out, they simply said goodbye – no polite phrases, no “Was everything okay?” or anything similar. I cannot recommend this hotel. There is a lot that needs serious improvement.

We stayed for one night and had a great stay. The staff are so friendly and kind, the room was comfortable and spotless (Thank you, Viky :), the hotel itself is so beautiful to explore. Although we didn't have time to use all the amenities, but it offers breakfast, renting bycicles and other sport equipment, as well as access to the gym. As a bonus, we also received free entrance tickets to the Lighthouse museum. This hotel definitely makes you feel welcome.

We stayed for 5 nights. The hotel is just ok. The bathroom is small, the rooms are small. We had a view, but the third night we had noice of the tall ships coming in. We had to deal with drunk people and noice from the motors of the ships day and night, and a big tent just under our room. Not a summer spa experience at all. There are too few outdoor furniture everywhere, and it is not clear who can use them. We tried to use some sunchairs by our room, but they were quickly moved away. The kitchen is just ok. The breakfast is chaotic, with a semi empty buffet, and not enough staff to fill it up nor clean the tables. The third day we were here the smaller rugs of the hotel were all cleaned and they were hung up to dry outside our room. A bit like living in the middle of a renovation :-). The location is good….this hotel is too expensive for what it offers. PS. The rooms are very hot. No A/C, no fans available.

We stayed at Lindesnes Havhotell to visit Under, which is located just across the bay. Very convenient location. The rooms are a little dated and on the small side of things but very clean. Breakfast was good but the coffee wasn't the best. al in all a nice stay especially if one is to spent the evening at Under.no

Hotel room: - Does not match the information online. There was no air conditioning or fans available, and the room was extremely hot. - The cabinet under the coffee machine contained an unsightly boiler. - The coffee machine was dirty and poorly maintained. - There was no minibar. - Beautiful location with a sea view Restaurant Starters: Was this fresh or reheated? Main courses: - I've never had to cut my own fish with a knife at a restaurant before, and the fish was very tough. - The meat was almost cold and had very little flavor. Overall: - Overpriced for what you get. - Beautiful location.

A Charming Hotel In A Picturesque Coastal Location As with most guests at this hotel, we came here for an overnight stay as part of our dinner plans at the extraordinary UNDER restaurant. Our stay was for one night 08/31/2022 to 09/01/2022. What we didn't expect was to be within walking distance to the restaurant & to have a miraculous view from our room. The staff were very accommodating with our requests, especially with knowledge of what to expect for our dining adventure. Upon arrival we were greeted with friendly smiles & and easily got an upgraded room facing UNDER from our bedroom. The view along made our initial long drive to this small coastal city worth the effort. We were also gifted two tickets to see the famous lighthouse, which sits at the very southern most tip of Norway. The hotel restaurant is a hidden gem and the lunch we had felt local, fresh and with so much flavor. We look forward to coming back with other friends who are curious about the entire experience. Until next time!! - Jamie & Chan

2.5 It's a nice located hotel. But it's way too expensive for what you get. You get a nice view of the Under restaurant and a nice lobby. Old, thin, out washed towels. No AC/ventilation. Some kind of very noisy ventilation on the bathroom. So it got quite hot in there, even in September. In additional to a noisy 200L water heater next to the pillow, which also heats the room. The staff is friendly but unexperienced. The food is good, maybe a bit overpriced.

The location is great for coastal scenery and sea access. There's not a great deal to do in the area but if you're looking for a quiet break with some nice walks and enjoying the sea air this is ideal, and even moreso if staying at Under. The hotel offers the use of bikes and other activity equipment (free of charge) which is a nice plus, I recommend cycling to the lighthouse and back but be prepared for the hills!! ||||My best compliment has to go to the staff, and in particular Merethe at the reception desk. I arrived here with a gift card to the hotel and Under, I was on the waiting list for Under and doubtful I would get in. Merethe asked me of my plans upon check-in and when I explained this, she said she would contact Under and call me if they had any cancellations during my stay. I was VERY surprised to get a call 2 hours later from Merethe offering me a table. I made it a bit more complex with dietary requirements and she called back and forth with Under and to me until it was sorted. Awesome stuff. ||||In addition the kitchen staff were also super nice and helpful when I asked for gluten-free alternatives at breakfast. ||||Room is spacious, very clean, and very modern. I would imagine it's unlikely you'll get a sea view just booking one of the standard rooms, so in my case my view was mostly across towards other hotel rooms. Means you have to close your curtains for privacy but if you're not planning on spending much time in the room anyway it doesn't really matter!||||All in all - 5 stars. In the hopes the hotel manager reads these reviews please note how great your team is! :)

Pros: This hotel has free parking and lots of it! Beautifully styled lobby Excellent breakfast Within walking distance of Under Give you free entrance to the lighthouse nearby Cons: Small rooms There is no air conditioner There are no fans There is no way to cool your room during a heatwave!

I had to move my reservation that was scheduled directly with the hotel. Then, I had to cancel the new reservation, which was fully-refundable. I have contacted the hotel on several occasions and have not received a refund. I'm very disappointed as I feel that I cannot trust this hotel for future plans.
