Farris Bad

Fourth visit here and first time disappointed. Hotel was fully booked, which is ok, but they also sold a lot of day packages on top. This made the spa area overcrowded and noisy. No lockers available and several times did we experience our robes and slippers were taken by others. In addition I found the spa very worn now. All showers in women’s wardrobe had some sort of malfunction. Many of the windows, especially by the big pool, need a wash. They very really dirty in the in- and outside. A lot of dust on plant pots and such as well. I might have to find a new favorite spa resort 😔

We have been to Farris Bad around 15 times and have found our way to love this place. This is how we do it. We always stay for two nights. One is too little and three is uneccessary. We either have an early check-in or we choose spa time from 2 PM. Then you can anyway get startet before normal check-in at 4PM. We often also have late check-out. We enjoy the spa very much, mainly because of the rituals, aufguss and other sauna experiences. If you don't take part and enjoy them, you will probably don't like staying in the spa for several hours. We don't anymore eat dinner in the restaurant, since we don't find the food there to have enough value for money for eating a 3 course dinner (sorry, Guest Relations Manager). During our two days, we normally eat lunch buffet at Farris, which we find very good for a reasonable amount of money, one day, and we eat dinner at the hotel lounge restaurant Seafood, where they serve burger, ceasar salat, Club Sandwich and so on. For the other meals we choose other options from Larvik's limited collection of restaurants: we order sushi from Sakura Sushi, eat Indian at Spiseriet (stay away from New Ambassadør) or eat at Bedehuset. All in all we love Farris Bad, and now have the exeperience to know exactly how.

Beautiful hotel, great spa, loved the food. Good vibes and great service. The massage though was a big dissapointment. We had a classic couplemassage and both the therapists used way to much massageoil, loose grip and quick and stressfull movements. Absolotely not Worth the price at all. As a massagetherapist i might have a high standard, but that is also what farris should have at this prices.

I'm disappointed by their lack of/low communication with each other. One employee says one thing, the next employee gives some other kind of information. The table in the bedroom had coffee stains, and blond hair on the couch. The hairdryer in bathroom was dirty.

We got caught in the snowstorm on the southern coast and sought refuge at Farris Bad while waiting for safe travel conditions. Excellent service, fantastic spa, and superb breakfast. The hotel is primarily for adults, but also worked well with children and a dog
