It was so central, a great place to spend the weekend, I could almost see and hear the surf from the balcony. Looking forward to staying so close to the beach again next time. I literally didn’t wear shoes for 3 days. So relaxing!!

Cool motel vibe with nice aesthetics. The room was clean and functional, though the bathroom is quite small. Sound insulation is poor—if you have noisy or partying neighbours, you’ll hear everything happening in their room. The pool area can also get very crowded; if other guests are there, expect limited space and possibly having to sit on the floor. Otherwise, check-in was smooth and communication was good—everything is contactless.

Koselig motel. Veldig rene og fine rom, med complimentary minibar. Fin liten avkjølingspool. Bra parkering, og veldig enkel og grei elektronisk inn-og utsjekk. Kort vei til Strand og restauranter. Anbefales.
