Håholmen - by Classic Norway Hotels

Staying at this hotel is an experience. It is an old fishing village which has now become a hotel. You get there by boat. Rooms are quite small but clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. Dinner the evening before - very average with absolutely no choice. And the restaurant has no atmosphere whatsoever tho the view is good. Staff very friendly. It basically is a hotel for large conferences so as a guest who is not part of a conference you feel like a spare part. Not alot to do on the island - takes about 15 mins to walk round it - apart from admire the views!

Wondered whether to give 5 or 4 stars - as it is a very special place. The island and views are beautiful - the room was very well done. It is noisy with neighbours as they are old buildings but people took care to speak softly and did not impact our stay. Dinner was nice but bit pricy even by Norway standards - using that you have to be on the island. Again we enjoyed it and was great food, but we were also out the door again in around an hour of quick serving of food. And that is on an island with nothing else there 😀 The ferry left 5 minutes early to schedule on our way there and 10 minutes early to schedule ont eh way back. Had to run to catch that back and were lucky both ways. For a schedule of once an hour and the only way to get to your hotel I do t think that is acceptable. So would highly recommend and stay there again ourselves - but not giving 5 as too many small things not perfect and things like a missed ferry cause it left early could have had a major impact on the day.

We loved our stay at Håholmen Havstuer. The island is idyllic with wonderful views onto other islands and the ocean and it's utterly peaceful. You can walk around the island in about 15 mintutes and the cottages are full of character with simple but comfortable accomodations, though the single beds are very narrow. The food was excellent, though dinner was pretty pricey--but one has to keep in mind that everything has to be brought in by boat from the mainland.... The Atlantic Ocean Road is well worth seeing and the Kvernes Stave Church and folk museum aren't far away. Altogether, an excellent place for a getaway!

Auto op de parkeerplaats aan de Atlantic Road. Over het water naar de overkant met een houten vikingsschip. De meest idyllische setting die je je maar kan voorstellen. Ook al zijn de kamers vol, je waant je alleen op de wereld. Het restaurant had alleen weinig keuze en pittig en de prijs. Er is een klein museumpje.

Magnifique endroit isolé, mais c'est ce qui en fait le charme. Arrivée indispensable en bateau, mais facile et bien organisée. Très bon accueil, chaleureux même pour la Norvège parfois austère, Le village de pêcheur transformé en hôtel a gardé tout son charme. Chambres simples mais agréables et confortables, la nôtre avait une terrasse sur la mer et un petit salon séparé, je ne peux que la recommander. L'isolation phonique pourrait néanmoins être améliorée. Le restaurant obligatoire (car rien autour) est également agréable prix élevé bien sur comme partout mais très bon avec un excellent service encore. Endroit à recommander pour une halte zen, ou active pour les amateurs de sports de mer.
