Scandic Honningsvag

Все очень просто, но хорошо. Ничего другого и не надо для транзитного отеля.

Compared to many other Scandic hotels that I have stayed in, that one is just the average and if you take count of the location, I think that is a good result. The room was ok, little bit weird though with the diagonal bed, but that was ok. Everything was fine and all the things you needed was there. Buffet dinner and breakfast was just ok. Have had much better in Scandic hotels though. The hotel should improve the parking for the coaches, really annoying to get the card and afterwards having to get it back to the reception. They could give the driver a code or code the door card to work with the parking lot too as it is 21st century already. Except the parking, nothing much to complain about. Oh, well, one thing… when I tried to call the next day after the stay, then the system answered, had me choose my options and when it was time for the hotel to really answer, then no one did. Tried about 10 times with different languages, but the answer was always beep-beep-beep. That is a pity as I was calling back after they had called me about one parking issue.

Wind blowing hard as we entered Honningsvag and checked into Scandic Honningsvag Hotel. Nice size room with twin beds and only one built-in luggage rack. Nice size desk with two electric outlets, but no lamp or lighting over the desk. The TV was placed in the center of the desk, not very convenient to watch from bed. Only four lights in the whole room: one on each side of bed, hall light and one light in the bathroom. Walk-in shower. Body soap provided in two wall mounted dispensers. No shampoo, conditioner or body lotion. Our tour group had the buffet dinner in the evening. Hot selections included rice, marinated chicken, pollock and pork. Soup also available along with tea and coffee. Couple of desserts available as well as fixings for a nice salad. Unfortunately, the hot selections were only warm. We also had a buffet breakfast with our group. About the same offerings as all the other hotels.

Charmless hotel but good located in Honningsvåg about 30 minutes in car to Nordkapp. Free parking, just get a parking note in the reception. The hotel is not like other Scandic hotels, few facilities - only to sleep and eat breakfast. The room was cosy. The bed was very small. We had a room with view to the sea, it was very hot (no air-con). Nice with tea and coffee in the room. Bathroom was small, nowhere to put your toiletries. Breakfast was way under Scandic standard. Seems the hotel is for bus groups.

Stayed at 6 Scandic brand hotels this Northern Norway trip and unfortunately Honningsvag was the most disappointing. The property is "tired" to say the least and in need of a real makeover. The rooms are very cramped, the furniture is clumpy and not really functional (e.g. tv in the window) with only one room chair available. Breakfast is overrun with sometimes tour guests from two coaches which means eating before 9.30 a.m. is a near nigh**are. Reception was helpful and did recommend a good restaurant for an evening meal. Honningsvag is clearly seasonal and a stopover for the Nordkapp but decisions should ideally be made by management as to the accommodation, and by potential guests regarding a stay. Sorry, but with the best will in the world, no recommendation.

This Scandic Hotel is part of the Scandic chain and certainly meets the good standards of accommodation. It is located fairly central near the harbour. The room was large with a good shower and wifi. The air con was good and breakfast very good. Overall well worth staying there

A group of 16 motorcyclists were guided to park our bikes in front of the hotel, to the walkway. Obviously it was forbidden, because every bike had a parking ticket of app. 100 €, a total of 1600 €, which was more than we paid for one night in a hotel. Communication can be difficult, but you can always make corrections. I am sure that the hotel clerk saw and heard that we parked in a wrong spot, so she could have told us to move the bikes. But she didn´t. I don´t even want to think, who knows who in a small village like Honningsvåg. Otherwise the hotel is old and the tight rooms might need some renovation. Breakfast was ok.
