Hotele niedaleko Refsnes naturreservat, Moss

We had a great romantic getaway-weekend at Refsnes Gods! Very nice superior room with art and lovely view of the garden, a cosy bar with lounge music and fire place, super service at the front desk, and a great breakfast in the pavillion. Still the best was the food and service in Restaurant Munch which has to be one of the best hotel restaurants in Norway. Excellent food and very serviceminded staff in the restaurant made the evening a great memorable experience! Highly recommended!

This is the second year running that we have stayed here and were able to get the same room which was very convenient as it has a fridge and a lovely view, very useful on a long stay of 11 days. At our suggestion a coat hook had been added and it shows that they do listen to the customers suggestions and recommendations. You can refer to our previous review of last year for more details but overall a very pleasant stay and the staff made you feel at home.

We travelled to Son Spa from the UK as a couple, not really knowing what to expect. We discovered Son Spa through Choice Rewards (previously Radisson US) so booked 2 nights in the one-bedroom balcony suite using points. Really easy drive from Oslo airport (OSL), lots of car hire options (and large proportion are electric cars - there are charging points everywhere). As it was an early flight, we arrived before check-in time, but was welcomed warmly by the reception staff. As the room was already available they let us check-in straight away. Lovely room with separate living room, and outdoor balcony looking out past the marina. Easy walk to Son, a coastal town 10-15 minutes away, where there is a couple of restaurants, a supermarket and an amazing bakery (tucked underneath a building, but you will smell it!) Breakfast is included, large buffet selection, that you can enjoy indoors or outdoors. The spa is fantastic, with indoor and outdoor pools But our favourite bit of Son Spa is the Aufguss ritual (sauna experience on the floating sauna rafts) with wide glass windows looking out across the water. A massive thank you to Thorun and Lars who were so lovely, welcoming and inclusive. The smells they make by mixing different oils with ice before putting them into the sauna are so refreshing. You are ready to jump into the cold water outside afterwards! We were fortunate to be able to see the Northern Lights one evening from the pier as well as Jeløya. We have recommended Son Spa to all our friends and family, and would love to come back!

This hotel was very near the ferry from Moss to Horten. We were tired and checked in quite easily. Make sure you have reservations as this hotel is used by those traveling on the ferry, it has a perfect location. There is safe parking behind the hotel for the cost of 60 NOK. Kind and helpful desk staff. They gave us directions to the military base and Martime Museum. We had a comfortable bed and quiet room. Our breakfast was at the place across the small street (Baltazars) due to renovation of the hotel's breakfast area. Very good selection with both hot and cold food. Nice staff there too. Overall this met our travel needs.
