För friskusar

Lågbudgetställe för friskusar. Otroligt obekväma översängar - ej för vuxna. Otroligt dyrt med middag och aktiviteter som rafting och badtunna. Stort kök om man vill göra egen mat.

Virkelig fornemt til en lille penge

Tvers igjennom trivelig opphold. God frokost. Vakker natur. Aktiviteter for de som ønsket det.

Fantastisk plass. Enkelt , men har alt man trenger. Gode på å tilrettelegge for allergier og barnevennlig. Anbefales

The interior was recently renovated: private sanitary facilities in the room and a well-equipped shared kitchen. Extensive breakfast buffet.

Mysigt hostel med hög standard som rekommenderas!

Fantastiskt! Fint belägen i en dal på promenadavstånd från älven. Lugnt ställe. Möjlighet till familjerafting (forsränning). Standard, storlek och skick på rummet överträffade våra förväntningar. Vi hade ett rum med eget badrum. I rummet fanns ett litet pentry med 2 spisplattor, kylskåp och diskho. Lakan, badlakan, städning och frukost ingick i priset. Gratis parkering precis utanför stugan. Ingen tv eller mikrovågsugn på rummet.

Sjoa rafting.

Dårlig middag, og høy pris ift. standard.

En pärla vid vatten mitt i naturen. Huvudbyggnaden är i typisk gammelnorsk stil. Vi bodde i ett nyrenoverat rum m dusch och toalett. Rekommenderas starkt!
Anette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Helt supert

Kjempe god service. God mat, fin avstand til mye aktiviteter. Rom var helt ok. Pluss at det var dyrevennlig. Det eneste som var negativt var vanntrykket og manglende mulighet til å styre temp i dusjen, men det gikk greit hvis du sto lenge nok.

Schöne Unterkunft mitten in der Natur

Ein sehr schöner Platz zum Übernachten und als Ausgangspunkt für Aktivitäten.

Nice friendly place to stay!

It was a lovely place to stay with very friendly hosts near Otta and Rondane Park. Fantastic breakfast was included in our booking. I recommend this place. They also organize rafting.

Veldig bra! Eneste som mangler er søppelsortering !

Stille og rolig

Hostel skal være enkelt, men funksjonelt. Slik sett som forventet, men det blir litt trekk for herpet dusjforheng og dorullholder.
Trygve, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Dårlig opplevelse i flott landskap

Mye støy fra hytter eller camping. Brannalarmanlegg fungerte ikke, det ulte i en brannalarm store deler av natten. Ingen informasjon underveis. Det ble heller ikke tatt ansvar for å få den høylytte festen avsluttet. Dette var veldig dårlig av de ansatte/verter.
Øyvind, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Enkel overnattingsplass i landlige omgivelser

Enkel plass, ikke alt var ok da vi kom. Men når vi sa i fra ble en vesentlig feil med rommet ordnet umiddelbart = god service. Fin eiendom.
Anton, 1-night trip

Good base for exploration

Accommodation is perfectly suited to use as a base for exploring the area. Close to a couple of rafting companies and not too far a drive from town.
Nicholas, 2-night trip

An idyllic hostel in the hills

The hostel is in a beautiful area with plenty of opportunity for outside activities such as walking and there is water rafting available on site. The facilities are ideal for a quiet break with the opportunity to either use the self catering facilities or the limited hotel menu and bar. There is a good breakfast provided and I would definitely return when I am next in the area.
