Farris Bad

My daughter and I spent a fantastic night at this spa hotel. The location is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed many treasures that were on offer from herbal steam rooms, saunas, jacuzzi’s and mineral grotto’s. It was an absolute indulgence that did not disappoint. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable and all the staff were very friendly and helpful

The shower in the hotel room was made of cheap plastic and didn´t work well. The water temperature of the shower was maximum lukewarm warm at all times. The price of a bottle of Sprite was Nkr. 65, which was unreasonable expensive even in Norway. The stay was pre-booked several weeks in advance, including a small dog. On arrival date we were told we had no room that accepted a dog, a miscommunication between customer service department and the front desk staff. We had to wait 30 minutes for the mess to be cleared up.

Nice room. Although no desk and chair to sit down and work if you need to prepare during the conference or work. Not tea or koffee in my room when you needed that you had to go to the bar waiting 20 min to get served. I got the impression that some rooms had that but not the one I got and no one told me upfront. I eventually got it asking but its the trouble when you need to work from the room. If you are member of Strawberry they did not want to do that during checking and then I forgot when I checked out.

First and foremost, we are incredibly disappointed. We believed Farris Bad was one of Norway's best spa hotels, offering top-quality experiences. That’s why I happily treated my pregnant partner to a birthday stay, including a maternity package with a prenatal massage. Shortly after arrival, we were told the therapist was unavailable due to illness. I assumed we’d get a proper refund and enjoy the rest of the spa. Instead, we paid 600 NOK per person for an unimpressive lunch buffet. The spa itself was a huge letdown: a cold main pool, overcrowded grotto, and saunas my pregnant partner couldn’t use. An outdoor jacuzzi was far too cramped. The milk bath we were offered as compensation was one of the few highlights. Dinner was equally mediocre, far from what we expected. The room was fine, and the beds were decent but nothing remarkable. At checkout, I was told we’d only get 600 NOK refunded for the canceled massage since we booked a package. This is unacceptable when the whole point of the trip was the massage, and the rest didn’t justify the price. I expect this matter to be addressed.

Everything was perfect , the spa was good. The room was clean and I got an amazing sleep in their soft bed. The food was delicious and the whole stay was 10/10. I will come back!

You need to try it. Best hotel in town. Lovely spa, nice service, personell, food, drink and totally experience
