Clarion Collection Hotel Atlantic

Casi nada, sólo el pueblo que es bonito y el hotel junto a la estación de tren.

Escandalosamente caro para sus servicios. Trato en recepción a toda prisa y casi arrogante. Puntualizamos en reserva que queríamos cama matrimonial y al llegar nos dijeron que sólo había camas dobles (creemos que nos mintieron por no darnos una habitación de clase superior). Baño de hotel de 1 estrella, antiguo y sin ningún tipo de comodidas, sólo ducha (también solicitamos bañera y nos la denegaron). Desayuno con lagunas. Atención pobre. El aeropuerto de Torp está a menos de 10 km pero el taxi vale 300 NOK por trayecto (casi 40 euros!!). Al llegar al aeropuerto tuvimos que esperar 2 horas para tomar un bus al tren y luego el tren hasta el pueblo (a la vuelta fue un proceso de sólo 30 minutos). Nos sentimos estafados.

Las instalaciones no estan mal, la decoración es diferente y te transporta a la vida de los balleneros. Los trabajadores son correctos.

Las habitaciones deberían ser repasadas despues de haber sido cerradas durante largo tiempo y por lo menos quitarle el polvo y airealas...Se aceptan animales de compañía y eso hace que deban repasar los suelos para que los clientes no se encuentren un "regalito" como el que nosotros nos encontramos en el suelo de la habitación, algo que en España hubiera sido causa de una reclamación a Consumo (como mínimo), pero al ser la última noche en Noruega y haber vuelto tardísimo del paseo por la hermosa Sandefjord decidimos tirar el "regalito" por la taza del WC y olvidarnos de algo tan surrealista...

Friendly and helpful staff, lovely buffet breakfast and complementary buffet dinner. Guests also were able to cook waffles for afternoon tea, which was a delicious idea. But it was the whaling memorabilia that were on display throughout the hotel that made our stay particularly interesting in this delightful town.

The hotels buffet facilities morning and evening together with the fun of waffle making in the afternoon meant that we could relax in Norway despite the poor state of the pound. The hotel also had a real character about it due to the rather obsessive interest in whaling - nothing horrible just a part of Norwegian history and presented really well if a little eccentric! It made us smile!

I paid a discounted price of NOK1150 via booking.com when it was on offer and remember the original price stated the room was around NOK1450. However when I got to the hotel the double room that they offered me was disappointing being small and cluster phobic and didn’t resemble the pictures advertised on the website. Also the room didn’t have a bath although my booking confirmation clearly states the room includes a bath. To add to the disappointment there was no double bed either instead they had two single beds which meant our baby couldn’t sleep with us that night. Anyways the staff were not convinced that I had bought a room that was on offer so we ended up coughing up another NOK200 and upgrading to a room that looked like the one adv

We liked the complementary meal in the evening, plust he breakfast. We also liked the Staff on the reception desk, very helpfull. Thank you for a pleasant stay, sorry we could not stay longer.

I came late in, go direct a relax feeling, this a so good.

In the room it was hot, opening a window ok, but the fly’s and mosquito’s came in.

The accomodation was good, but the desk staff were excellent and its whale theme is informative(I don't agree with it, but they have a different life to mine). They give good value for money and are close to torp airport, so is handy for late arrivals.

Whale Theme

Nice view but next to busy road, free buffet in the afternoon

No room service everything is far away, You need a car. Didn't like it at all. Not the "normal" Clarion standard

The welcome of the staff and the 24 hour coffee together with the fresh evening buffet and breakfast.

Sauna was unavailable.

A very pleasant natured staff,nice and friendly and helpfull.

I must be very honest with you about the dream some one had about the decor in the hotel,i found it to be dare i say !somewhat tacky,dont take offense please but that hotel didnt need to go so far overboard with the dead whale thing it just didnt need it and i would say further more it would devistate a lot of people around the world who didnt know that the clarion was a shrine to dead whales,the amount of effort spent on designing the whale experience i feel would have been best spent on the upgrade of that nice building,this is only my view on the hotel please dont take offence as everything else was superb.

Location - good breakfast - shipping atmosphere -large room

Hair-drier missing

The hotel was a nice location from the harbor and the main shopping area. We were served waffles, dinner and breakfast inclusive of the price. The lobby and dining area were nicely decorated with a whaling/shipping theme. We were lucky that are room was ready a bit early so we could unload the luggage from our car before exploring the area the rest of the day. This was one of our favorite hotels along the trip. I would stay here again and ask for a room off the street.

We had trouble sleeping because of heat and noise. The day was hot and the sun heated up our room. A ceiling fan to move the air would have helped. The room was noisy as it was a streetside room and the windows had to be open because of the heat. This would not be a problem in the cooler months.
