Room for improvement
1. The room curtains are not "blockout". In this high latitude country where there is light throughout the night, decent curtains are imperative. How bad you ask? It was like a supernova. I was able to read in bed with the curtain closed and the lights off at 4am.
2. Here's a hotel in the world's richest country that doesn't have a mini fridge in the room. I'd bought a litre of milk and to keep it cool I placed it on the second story window sill. Only to have an opportunistic crow slash it open like a vandal. I now risk avaian flu as I tap out the remaining drips onto my cornflakes.
3. No internet in the room. It seems its been down for the past week. Do they do this on purpose so guests struggle to write reviews?
4. Really expensive electric car charger. It's our first day in Norway, we picked up the car and drove straight from the airport. To top up the car battery it cost about $70USD from their "Mr Scrooge" hotel charger.
5. The electronic entry cards worked well unit I went looking for coffee (did I mention that there's no coffee in the room). Upon return, neither of the fobs allowed access. This could be a simple electronic error but it just compounded the inadequacies of this hotel.
6. Hotel breakfast was really good
7. The shower and hotel heigene are also impressive
Noone wants to see businesses fail. I sincerely hope that Henriks Hotel owner reads this review and make changes. And by highlighting these problems future guest can make an informed choice.
Anyway - we
