Atlanten Turistsenter

Kristiansund

Excellent accommodation (we were in a cabin), very clean and modern. Staff were incredibly helpful however there was one washing machine for the whole campsite. Location is slightly out of town, but this is reflected in how much you will pay to stay here. Beds very comfortable with a very good and spacious shower.

Uber modern cabin on friendly campsite

Stranded in Kristiansund for 5 days (in April 2020) after a job offshore during the Covid pandemic, the Atlanten Turistsenter was our only option to me and my colleagues. Due to the weather conditions (snow and hail storms and heavy rain)  and also due to the fact we had no car, we had no other choice than to stay inside.
 
I'll go straight to the point... Avoid it all all costs. For further details read below.

- I know it was during the pandemic, but still,... knowing that clients had to come, nobody was waiting for us at the reception. Nobody was answering the phone nor to the bell at the entrance of the reception building. We had to wait for 15min in a freezing and windy weather that some kind of worker of the place opens us the reception. And we were not the only clients apparently in this Motel.

- Once inside the reception, we just asked for 4 keys as we were 4 people and we get them. They never checked our ID, nor if we were in order of payment,... Anyway, we had 4 double bedrooms.

- I can understand they might have some problems to fill their facilities with clients at the moment with Covid, but come on… Covid really started to mess up the world at the end of February or in early March and not in April 2019. Why do I mention this date of April 2019? Simple... On the door of the shared kitchen it is mentioned that "All Food which is not labelled with name and date will be thrown away every Monday" (see picture)... I can assure you that no check has been done since April...2019 (1 year ago!!!) when I look at the "best before" date of some of the products inside the freezer! And by the look of the installation I would not advise to even taste them,  as you never know they might have had some power cuts. (see pictures).

- I do not even guarantee they clean their installation by the look of some of the things we have found. Somebody seems to have been a bit sick (a long while ago) by one of the halogen lamps of the shared living room. (see picture) Simply disgusting.

- The shared kitchen has got some basic appliances (kettle, pans, casseroles, microwave, 1 oven, 4 stoves, 1 coffee machine) but be aware... Nothing is clean. Previous users never cleaned them. There were many "bacteriologic weapons" growing in some of them (as we needed that to top the Covid pandemic). It took a while to get rid off the nasty stuff there was in the pans,... as we had to use some of them to cook our food. (the appliance is now cleaner than what it was when went there).

- I would be extremely careful to where you store your food on regard of the different places where we spotted pest poison granules box.

- the bedrooms now:
---- The biggest and nastiest surprise was coming from one of our bedrooms... How on Earth is it possible for the staff to have missed this smelly rotten sent coming from that room while arranging the room for us? The door was only just opened there was this very awful and nasty smell all over the corridor and nearby bedrooms and travelling up to the kitchen 25-30m away!  The origin of this smell? There was a very very old box of vanilla ice cream BELOW the bed. (see picture). God only knows for how long it was there to smell like that! It is SHAMEFUL!
---- Not sure that to have an ELECTRIC heater in the bathrooms, just 1m-1.5m away from the shower is very safe. 
---- You might have to bring your own squeegee to wipe out the water of the shower in the bathroom as they are simply useless. Indeed, you need to use a squeegee after each use of the shower to avoid any falls and slips as it seems the floor was not designed in the first place for the evacuation of water.
---- the equipment of the bedroom seems to be very fragile, ready to break at any moment. (even IKEA look super strong compared to the bedroom equipment)
---- the DOUBLE bedroom barely have room for your luggage. You need to jump over your luggage to get access to the other side of the bed or to get access to the window.
---- The people who installed the TV in the bedrooms had to think the rooms would be equipped only with bunk beds. Indeed, It's impossible to watch the TV from your bed, you need to stand up to watch the TV as the TV is tilted in the wrong direction and it's not possible to change it. The guy who installed the TV might have screwed the stand in the other way round on the wall.

- In the last 3 days of our stay (out of 5), there was no longer heating in the kitchen and living room (the most comfy place), it was really cold. When we finally managed to see the possible manager of the place, they said they would send somebody ASAP to fix the issue, but it never happened. 

- I really hope they have a good insurance when you see the outdoor electric installation. There is water in every single bulbs of their patio outside the accommodations. (see pictures).  A real danger for future customers who will want to spend some time outside in the better days.

A minimum of cleaning and of checks should really be done by the staff!

And if you don't have a car, forget this place, it's far from everything. the closest supermarket is 15-20min walk minimum. 

I'll finish by the very few good points: sofas in the shared living room are very comfy, dining tables are ok, the Wi-Fi is good, the bedrooms (only) are well heated and the beds are also very comfy.

Avoid it!!!

Pros:

The bed was surprisingly very comfy. The room was very clean and I liked that you could open the window to let fresh air in. The shared kitchen and living area down the hall made it feel more 'homey' and lots of fridge space to store your own food. 

Cons:

Location was terrible - especially with all the road/building works that are happening around the place. It was not ideal to stay at without a car. Also it is very noisy - you can hear other guests walking up and down the hallways in the evening/early mornings and then the noise from the cars pulling in/out of the driveways. The room was not ideal to have a double bed - I would have preferred a single bed so I could have fit my belongings without having to climb over them between the bed and the bathroom.

Atlanten Motell

Stayed at the Atlanten Apartments (as it is promoted on Booking.com) for just a night this month. Its a regular motel which offers value for money lodging (by Norwegian standards). Located slightly away from the city centre, the property offers wifi, laundry facility (in a common area), parking (right outside your apartment) and a decent range of breakfast (separately paid for).

We booked a "standard apartment" which are very basic and look very different from all the pictures registered on Booking.com. The standard apartment has a loft which can sleep 3 adults and a room on the ground floor with a bunk bed. 

Kristiansund does not have much to offer. For most, its a stop over on a road trip, and so was the case for us. If you are looking for a value for money pit stop, this property is just okay.

Its good value for money, and nothing else

If you are coming with your camping wagon or caravan, this is the place. It is very family friendly and it offers a nice environment for jogging or walking in the woods. The place is very quiet and calm but yet near to the city.

A well located family accomodation 5 minutes from the city center

Rooms are small and basically equipped. To use the double, one has to climb over the other. Sheets are clean. Pillows are a bit too flat.

Breakfast is ok.  No evening meal and town is a good 20 minute walk (we're on motorbikes, so not easy to 'pop out').

It's a good place to stop at when passing through and at a reasonable price.

Small, basic room - motel room

A cheap option (by Norwegian standards). 
We were 4 people who stayed one night in apartment nr 29. It has a bedroom with a bunk bed and 3 beds in a small 2nd floor "loft".
Clean enough, ok standard and service is good. Wifi connection worked fine both inside and outside the apartment. 
Wonderful that you have free parking right outside the door!
Although it's close to the city center it's very quiet and calm here. 
We would come back if we visit Kristiansund again.
