We made a mess of our booking and arrive one day early. Receptionist was excellent and very accommodating. Hotel is very close to the railway station and centre of the town. Staff very pleasant. First class buffet breakfast to suit all tastes. Would happily stay there again

Close to Rail Depot and convenient.
Amazing stay, a little low rating on comfort because it was record heat . A fan would been nice, but that is nitpicking when staying in at a older hotel. Love place and the staff was 10/10 stars.

Convenient and excellent breakfast
Best breakfast during our 2 week nordic Norwegian ski vacation. 1/2 block to train and bus station with the buses that take you to Sjusjoen, Nordseter, Hallinjdal, Mosetrtopen, Skiekampen!!!!

Perfect location, needs new carpet!
This historic hotel is rundown but for skiers, the location by the bus station, grocery store and ski shop makes for easy travel. Breakfast is good and beds are super comfortable but the carpeting is about 10 years overdue to be replaced!

Dated (a bit tired), but clean and comfortable.
I have stayed here before. It’s really close and convenient for the station.
It’s nice not to be in a big chain. The hotel is rather dated and tired, but the beds are comfortable, and it’s really clean.
The staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is good.
As I said, I’ve stated before and would definitely stay again.

Property was under construction during our stay. Didn't really affect us much. We had to walk down the street for our breakfast. The breakfast was AMAZING!! So many gluten free and vegan options. Missing the waffles already. The staff were super friendly.

We loved our 1 night stay here! The hotel staff was so kind in giving us a complimentary upgrade for our wedding anniversary. The room was beautiful, spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. We were surprised by a personalized card, a Freia chocolate bar and some Norwegian chips when we arrived to our room - such appreciated personal touches!
The hotel has a charming character and history with lots of local paintings.
We really enjoyed the breakfast offered, as it included Norwegian waffles with brown cheese, moose salami and other local dishes in addition to the classic breakfast dishes. We’re foodies and loved this!
The hotel staff took the initiative to offer advice on our planned road trip to Langedrag Nature Park. We’re so thankful they did, as we avoided ending up on back country roads that would’ve been a bit dangerous to drive. We really appreciated their time and friendliness!
We highly recommend staying here! Thanks for making our anniversary feel even more special 😊

Great breakfast, good beds, but small room.
The shower floor was leaning the wrong way, so a lot of water ran outside of the cabin, quite bad.
