  : We were lucky to be almost the only ones in the hotel. The reception was closed on the day we arrived, but self check in was very easy if you follow the instructions. The kitchen was well equipped. After reading other reviews I knew exactly what to expect and was not disappointed. Yes, the beds could have been more comfortable or longer (beds are not suited for very tall people of 2 m height), yes, the accommodation might be in need for some refreshing, but the price performance is great if you are in need for one night layover with family. There was a bit of a trouble with self checkout, but the property was easily reachable with a call to sort the issue out.

  : very convenient location, easy self checkin and good price-quality
  : very dated, could use an update, especially compared to other HI hostels

  : As long as travelers arrive between 18:00 and 20:00, theres a real, very helpful living breathing human being for check-in, LOL. Outside those hours, you are sent instructions for access, first to the facilities, and then to your room key. Toilets and shower facilities are outside rooms, but quite close by. The showers are down a flight of stairs, but they were big and (again) immaculate, and the water temp and flow were easily adjustable. The kitchen is VERY well equipped, and adjacent is a large, comfortable common room. During our brief stay we met a couple of Norwegians on a hike in the area, and many tips were shared. Of the many places weve stayed so far in Norway, this place was, bar none, the *cleanest*.

  : This is the cleanest place I have ever stayed. Comfortable beds, quiet and great location just off the road.
  : The stairs to the downstairs shower are a little steep without a rail. There is no bathroom in the rooms. No breakfast or coffee available.
