Quality Hotel Richard with

A two-week self-drive tour of the Lofoten Islands in Norway, with a focus on relaxation and exploration with friends, while taking in the breathtaking scenery of the islands.

Staff was friendly and helpfull. Hotel is beautiful and modern. Room is nicely decorated in nordic style.

Contemporary hotel with very comfortable rooms, great breakfast buffet and a fantastic location right on the water. We also booked the sauna right next to the hotel for an hour, which was a nice experience. The bar area is cosy and they even have a shuffleboard game, which is free to use. When we tried the hotel restaurant (twice) for dinner, it didn’t quite live up to standard of the breakfast and was perhaps a bit overpriced. The staff is friendly and helpful, but it would be great if there was some kind of concierge service that could recommend various hikes in the area and other local activities.

three major problems: 1. Table in my room was not cleaned ahead of my arrival 2. Coffee machine at the breakfast restaurant was out of order for the whole of two days of my stay 3. Hotel was unable to produce a receipt for my total payment. Still chasing it, six days later, making international calls from another country.

💯⭐️ out of 💯! Ask for a room with view to the sea. Enjoy the restaurant. We got great vegan food (asked before booking). All the staff is super nice. Clean rooms. Everything you can ask for and all you want from a hotel. Remember to try Rødbrygga next door!

The small municipality with the big hotel, which had not had to be ashamed of itself even in the biggest city.New and shiny fresh, we recognize the interior style from Harstad and feel in step with the times, except for a certain amount of rehearsed decoration.One cannot help but wonder about the business decision to build such a distinguished hotel here in Stokmarknes? Pleased for us who enjoyed an excellent family room, in a size not taken for granted among hotels in the Nordics.Fine textiles, and appealing decor in general.But then we got to the dinner when the details need to be fine-tuned, now it felt a bit like we were sitting in a dress rehearsal that didn't turn out well. Incorrectly tempered meat, béarnaise sauce that shHowever, the kitchen got a chance for revenge at breakfast and there they succeeded with nice presentations, a little personal touchouldn't have left the kitchen, potatoes that felt like they were heated and a waitress who struggled with her digital aids.The only thing we were missing was a bit of a local element and also one or two organic products. Plus a bread that signaled homemade.
