We stayed here for one night using Scandic Bonus Points during July 2020. We perceived the staff as friendly and helpful when requested. The property itself is old but we found the quality of the rooms to be good. The beds were comfortable, the room had an ok size, the water pressure in the shower was amazing! As the hotel is older there is no ventilation, but we had a fan in the room which was really appreciated and gave us a good night sleep! ||I much rather stay in an older hotel with solid interior than in a recently renovated hotel with poor quality interior. We had a super disappointing stay at the Scandic Syv Søstre a few days before - a hotel that seems to have gone through renovations but with poor quality of materials and a worn down impression. This is not the case for the Scandic in Fauske. I hope when they do renovations that they won’t fall for the same “Scandic trap” which I have seen in so many other Scandic hotels to put design before functionality and quality.||On the downside, the breakfast options were very disappointing. Yes, COVID 19 places some restrictions, but at the time of our stay a week had already passed since Norwegian authorities allowed full breakfast buffets again - but this hotel only offers a pre-packed bread roll and juice / fruits for take away. We had full breakfast buffets in hotels in Tromsø the nights before, and even a “restricted buffet” in other Scandic hotels in the beginning of July. I suggest the breakfast options to be improved soon again. ||A point that did not influence our rating as it is probably outside the hotels control, but could be important to consider:|There is a lot of noise from the street right outside (E6) and massive amount of seagulls on the roofs, so sleeping with windows open is not an option.||Overall a pleasant experience, next time hopefully with a much better breakfast :)||||
