Our Covid-19 considerations

Venabu’s Covid precautions

We take infection control seriously and have implemented several measures so that guests are as safe as possible.

The Norwegian National Institute of Public Health has made recommendations and issued infection control regulations. The local public health bodies have done the same. At Venabu we have put hygiene measures in place, in accordance with these rules and recommendations. You will be familiar with many of these from your home country.

It is important to us that everyone feels safe. We remain alert and aim to keep conditions as comfortable as possible. For example, guests will find rubbing alcohol available at all entrances and around the hotel. We ask guests to use this frequently.

We all have a responsibility

Our responsibility is to facilitate a safe stay and we also ask guests to be responsible and aware.

• Stay at home if you have symptoms of respiratory infections such as stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, fever, wheezing, headache or other symptoms of Covid-19.
• If you are already staying at the hotel and are experiencing symptoms, we urge you to stay in the room and notify reception staff or management, by phone, as soon as possible.

What you can do during your stay

• Respect social distancing.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water.
• Frequently use hand sanitizer located at the entrances and around the hotel.
• Have a paper handkerchief available and cough / sneeze into the paper, throw it away and wash your hands. There are bins with lids located around the hotel for this purpose.
• If you do not have a paper handkerchief cough / sneeze into your elbow to avoid droplet infection.
• Avoid handshakes and hugging.
• The eyes, mouth and nose are the gateway to viruses, so avoid touching your face.

The rooms

• Efficient and environmentally friendly detergents are used for cleaning in the hotel.
• Bed linen and towels are handled only by the cleaning staff.
• There will be no daily cleaning of the guest rooms, to avoid transmission of infection. If you want your room taken care of, let the reception know.
• Clean towels can be found in the closet at the end of each corridor.
• Waste can be sorted at recycling stations at the end of the corridor.

Meals

• All guests have a set table reserved for them in the restaurant during their stay.
• For breakfast there is a buffet with infection control measures in place. In addition, we have a set up a varied selection of items in individual glass jars and bottles. This minimises contact points.
• We ask you to show consideration and keep your distance and use the hand alcohol that is set up at the entrance to the restaurant.
• For dinner, a good 3-course menu is served at the tables.
