We stayed in a one bedroom cabin on the upper row. Cabin was clean, furniture in good appearance and beds were good. We brought our own traveller bed for the toddler since the description stated they did not have any extra beds. No problem since the description was so clear and pictures showed that bedrooms had sufficient space. - The cutlery was a bit sparse. Only 3 forks, knifes etc. enough for 3 people, but would need to be washed after every meal. A dishwasher is present. A microwave would have been excellent, but we managed fine with the classic oven. There is a fridge but no freezer. The price was ok for two nights. It is a couple of hundred meters from the hotel/reception. Internet however was not stable on one of our phones, but acceptable on another and on the pc. For a family with a little kid we could wish they were a bit more equipped for that. Since we came here off season it is possible that they do have more stuff in the summer. - Our kid was happy to run around splasing in ponds in the rain. We would consider staying here again.

“Very basic hotel room for an upper scale price.”

We drove 6.5 hours from Trondheim to get here. Getting here was a thrill and a half. High mountain pass, switchback narrow roads, often wide enough for only one car. It was raining and as we started to descend there was fog so thick we could not see the road ahead more than 15 feet. So needless to … more

We drove 6.5 hours from Trondheim to get here. Getting here was a thrill and a half. High mountain pass, switchback narrow roads, often wide enough for only one car. It was raining and as we started to descend there was fog so thick we could not see the road ahead more than 15 feet. So needless to say we were glad to arrive and rest. I had searched online for a hotel in this area, but the ones I wanted were fully booked. We settled for this one with a higher price tag. It is very pretty scenery here and it seems this town may have been settled by Italians... more about that later. It seemed to me this is an older 2 story motel, that recently has had a big 1 story addition put on for a restaurant and bigger lobby area. The rooms may have been updated recently as well. Our room (#104) was very basic, one chair, small desk and two single beds across the room from each other. We are a couple (don't they have double beds?) so we completely rearranged the room so the beds could be pushed together. The room is quite small so it wasn't easy. There was a flat screen TV on the wall. One plus is that the big windows looked out at the mountains, a creek running right past our window. There were sheep grazing on the other side of the creek. So that made a pleasant view in spite of its other shortcomings. Intriguing thing about the room is that in between the window is a vertical screened vent you can ope for ventilation without opening a window. We also had dinner here in the restaurant. It seems the place is run by college students and all the servers are high school girls that really haven't been trained for their job. Difficulty getting waited on here, they seemed to be ignoring us. There are only 6 or 7 menu items and half are simple pasta dishes, over priced and smaller portions. Along one wall in the restaurant is a display case with antique accordions, several from Italy. This I enjoyed looking at. Breakfast here is sparse, which was okay for us, but for the price of a room they should be able to put out a better breakfast spread. I am being a bit generous with giving this a 3 dot rating, but the pleasantries mentioned helped get it there, otherwise a 2.

“A bit overpriced ”

We only stayed for a night and had a room. Very basic room with only two beds, a table and a chair. Breakfast was very simple as well. And they asked for 50 NOK for a hot water fill for our one small thermos! This was one of the priciest hotels on our trip so we had expected more for our money. Ni… more

Nice and friendly staff but the stay was not worth the money.
