Quite a large family hotel near Geilo, a well-known Norwegian center of winter sports at the margin of Hardagenvida. The distance from Geilo can be aporximately 10 km by car. There was originally a farm at the place where the hotel is situated, it has its own ski slope with a lift and an access to two paths for skiing crosscountry, including one with lighting at night. Other paths can be easily reached by car. The landlord is nice and willing to help with the choice of activity according to your expectations.The breakfast was excellent, the dinner was for an affordable price and very large like a double portion in usual restauratnts and it consisted of three dishes. Gluten free diet wasn´t a problem. Since the high season in Norway happens mostly in the Easter period and there vere not many guests, I got an upgrade of my room free of charge. There was nearly always fire in the fireplace in the refectory contributing to a very cosy atmosphere.

A little bit unstable wi-fi in my room, but it had no impact on my overall impression.

In the dining area, there are a lot of animal statues.

On the way to the hotel, there is a sign board about the hotel, but without an arrow mark to show the direction. This board is on the left side of a road that goes I wrong direction. I got mislead and had to travel quite some distance in very bad roads, then reach dead end and then come back all the way, to find the correct path. Rooms need more Curtains to prevent sunlight.

The hotel owners - Knut Arne and Bjerge - were so friendly and caring. We went out of season and they were so attentive to us with meals, ski hire and lifts to the town. Knut Arne even helped our youngest family member to learn to ski and took us around the mountain on his snow mobile and to see the Moose and Deer. It was a truly magical place to stay and very family orientated.

The kitchen was just exceptional. At a differt table after dinner the person expressed that you have to write about this on the internet this is unknown and just a fantastic meal.

The place was just what we needed, but some may experience a place that are suffering from lack of manintenance wrt the buildings. Old fashion, 70/80 style everything working so no problem with that.

Cozy atmosphere, beautiful decor in the dining area, amazing buffet for breakfast and dinner. Good slopes for cross-country skiing starting straight from the hotel.

It would be nice to have a kettle to fill up thermos quickly instead of using a coffee machine. Billiard table was there, but some of the balls were lacking to fully enjoy the game.

The breakfast at this hotel was really excellent. Many delicious options and plenty of it. We also booked in for dinner the night we arrived and that was also delicious. The dining room is beautiful and comfortable, with a mixture of modern and traditional mountain decor.

The decor bedroom was a little old fashioned, but it was beautifully furnished with rustic pine items. We had a sitting area and balcony in addition to the bedroom area.

Fabulous location with views over the mountains. The hotel owners were friendly and welcoming and provided huge buffets for the evening meal and breakfast. We were able to park our large motorhome outside our room and our Border Collie was able to mooch round outside, which made it very relaxing for us.

The room was very dated, rather dark.

On first impression, we were a little skeptical due to the "rustic" appearance, especially of our room. However, it turned out to be a very pleasant stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful, the location beautiful and quiet. And the breakfast in the morning was deliciously served in a nice dining area.

Nothing

Large room with sleeping area and lounge area. Balcony with great view over the mountains. Fridge with inbuilt safe in room. Comfortable beds. Large bathroom. Usual Norwegian wooden cabin furniture. Very pleasant owners and staff who did all they could to accommodate our milk allergies. Everything you could wish for at the breakfast buffet and evening meal was a set meal with soup (this was swapped for another dish for us), salmon, potato and carrots and cheese cake (swapped for sorbet with fruit and berries for us) Free coffee and tea next to the piano in the dining room.

The wifi was more or less unusable in our room and I think it would do a lot for the look of the room if the ceiling was in a better state. But this didn’t detract from our lovely stay.

The beautiful view. excellent breakfast and dinner.

We didn’t know that every other day the towels were. hanged and the bathroom cleaned. No problem for us if we would have known. Maybe it was written in the map with information that was in the room, but everything was written in Norwegian, so we didn’t understand.
