Find the Cheap Ulsteinvik Hotels

We checked in for a long weekend trip to see relatives. We found the rooms to be adequate in size - the bonus was getting a room with a balcony to enjoy the views of the Sunnmøre Alps. More importantly, the bed was comfortable and the rooms were clean. The staff in reception were very helpful too. On that basis alone, I would give the hotel four stars. However, the restaurant was a bit of a let down - mainly caused by the serving staff that I would say would need better training. When requesting the pan fried cod that was on the limited a la carte menu (not necessarily a bad thing to allow the kitchen to do a limited menu very well), we were told that it was not available. So that left three dishes - on of which was fillet of venison. Perfectly cooked, and very nice. Three times we requested the pan fried cod, and every single time we were told it was not available. The hotel has the seafront as it's nearest neighbour, and a handful of fishing boats were moored less than 100 meters away - can it really be that difficult to get fresh cod in that place? The serving staff could do with trying to remember who wanted what dish even in a group of 8 - and learning to not just leaving the bottle of wine on the table for example. Overall, we will be happy to stay there again, but looking to dine elsewhere - for example at the Snorrebuda a few hundred meters further down Sjøgata.

I have visited this hotel once or twice a year for the last 4-5 years, and even during the covid year they held up the high level of service. They seem to have chosen quality building materials, as the hotel still feel like it's new, and it's always spotlessly clean. Some highlights: * Even the standard rooms are spacious, good sized bath room with good water pressure. * Comfy bed. * I like that they have kept the old and now empty mini-bar fridges running cold. * Great views from the rooms facing the sea. * Breakfast is very good with great selection. * Great and effective service from all staff. All in all great value.
