Clarion Collection Hotel Atlantic

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.

As we stayed here only for one night I can not say a lot about the hotel. It is situated comfortably just in 10 min driving from the airport in a very center of Sandefjord not far from the sea cost and a Whale Museum. Breakfast was good enough to be full till diner. Our children enjoyed the decoration of the breakfast room.

Furniture seemed to be worn-out.

Good hotel. Liked the extra's: waffles, light eveningmeal.

Prices are very high in Norway!!! The sauna was not open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
