Badehotel Søfryd

Opinions on the staff are mixed. Many guests praise the staff for their friendliness, responsiveness, and excellent service, particularly mentioning waiter Jonas and owner Martin. However, there are also negative reviews: some visitors have experienced rudeness, slow service in the restaurant, and a feeling that the staff is too busy, especially during wedding celebrations. Also mentioned were errors in serving dishes and drinks.

The hotel offers a continental buffet-style breakfast, with no hot dishes prepared. Reviews on the quality of the breakfast are contradictory: some guests consider it very good, while others describe it as "average" or "lacking", complaining about weak coffee and a limited selection of products that quickly run out.

The restaurant offers dishes including fish fillets, duck, and pork, as well as cheese plates. Some guests are delighted with the quality of the food and wine, describing it as "delicate" and "delicious". At the same time, others are extremely dissatisfied: they complain about cold fish, overcooked meat, cheap iceberg lettuce from a supermarket, and a lack of salt in the dishes. The menu is described as small, which limits the choice of dishes during longer stays.

The rooms in this old hotel (over 105 years old) have varying degrees of preservation. Some guests find them clean, simple, and cozy with comfortable beds. Others note that the furniture and decor are worn and in need of renovation, and that the beds are too hard. Also mentioned is that in some rooms, instead of one double bed, there are two single beds.

The issue of cleanliness is a major point of contention. A number of guests are satisfied with the cleanliness of the rooms, but in other reviews, there are reports of a very poor condition: mold in the showers, dust, cobwebs, dirty mirrors, and a unpleasant smell of sewage or dampness. Also mentioned are problems with the plumbing, such as water splashing from the taps.

The soundproofing in the hotel is poor, and the building is described as "very noisy". Guests complain about noisy fans in the bathrooms and noise from music that can be heard in the rooms until 2 am during wedding celebrations. Overall, the atmosphere can be either romantic and cozy or noisy, depending on the events taking place in the hotel.

The hotel does not have an elevator, which is mentioned by visitors. This can create some difficulties for elderly travelers when moving luggage to the upper floors.

The hotel provides cots, but in one review, it was mentioned that the cot had a musty smell. Also, there was a case where parents with a child felt unwelcome in the restaurant because they tried to ask about breakfast too early.
