Disappointing for a Luxury Hotel Our stay at this highly awarded luxury boutique hotel and spa was underwhelming, especially given the high prices and accolades. While it had some highlights, the experience didn’t match expectations. 
The receptionist was curt, failing to provide basic info as elevator directions or spa hours. Housekeeping disappointed too: we received only 1 towel instead of 2 on 2 occasions, some towels were dirty, and we had to request toilet paper as it wasn’t refilled. These lapses were surprising for a hotel of this caliber. 
The hotel’s setting is beautiful, surrounded by trees, creating a serene vibe. Our room’s forest view was stunning, but the room itself was small with little storage. Poor sound insulation near the elevators meant we heard corridor noise. Breakfast had a no-smartphone rule, but it was unevenly enforced, with some guests using phones openly without staff intervention. The spa is spacious with varied saunas, steam rooms, and a lovely outdoor area. However, used cups and trash littered the space, and some pools were closed for sanitation. Rule-breaking groups of young males brought phones and wore bathing suits in non-bathing-suit areas, disrupting relaxation. Our massage was decent but marred by parking lot noise. The poolside bar food was fine but pricey. 
Despite a beautiful setting, the staff, inconsistent service, and soiled facilities didn’t justify the cost. The experience fell short and I wouldnt recommend staying here.

Tldr: It's very nice spa with good variation of saunas and aufgusses, but it gets a bit crowded during the day. It's 'textile optional' that doesn't allow your own swimwear, so if it's one time only-visit and you want to cover yourseld, it's a bit expensive. And the longer version... The spa area is well-kept and beautiful and there are plenty of options to choose from. There are pools inside and outside, with different temperatures and you can just spend hours and hours here. The aufgusses are quite frequent and mostly beginner-friendly (and they have marked the hot-ones), but during like 12-17 the aufgusses are super crowded which kinda hinders the relaxation aspect. Also, there was probably some kind of technical room next to the Japanese meditation sauna and the sounds coming from there were a bit distracting in the otherwise peaceful scene. The spa is 'textile optional' where you can wear swimwear if you want, but that has to be bought from the spa. Also, swimwear is prohibited from the saunas, but that rule was enforced bit inconsistently, which I'd think might confuse and feel a bit unfair; sometimes ppl were told to leave mid-aufguss if the sauna master noticed swimwear, and other times I watched ppl walk in to aufguss with swimwear openly on. The 'digital detox' thing was lovely and relaxing; I could just hang and enjoy being a happy, chubby seal without worrying that I might appear in someone's social media, and other spas should do the same. About the food; Brasseriet is an okay restaurant. 3/5 restaurant with forgettable, but okay food and generous portion sizes. It's not great, but as a spa restaurant, it's okay. Mori was...just lovely. It's the edible-gold-truffles-and-caviar- style of fancy, but the food was super tasty, wine pours were good and we left bellies full. The hotel itself is clean and pretty, and the room was spacious with soft bed. And the pricepoint? Well, this is in Norway, but considering that I think the pricepoint is somewhat reasonable; it's not like super expensive or anything, but yea it's not cheap either. Especially if you want to cover yourself. I also noticed that other reviewers complained about being stared at, I didn't have such problem, but there were two things that might have affected that: I was here with my husband and without my glasses, I am like a near-sighted mole, so you'd really have to stare at me in order for me to notice.
