Vi havde én overnatning i enkelt, rent og rart rum med gode madrasser og OK badefaciliteter. Aftensmads-muligheden var et OK tilberedt jævnt måltid. Morgenmaden ligeså. I det gode, nybagte brød fik jeg dog et langt hår i munden. Det gjorde jeg diskret personalet opmærksom - blot for fremtidig forebyggelse. Jeg fik dog blot en overbærende reaktion, som var jeg “for meget”. Måske en generationsting? Personalet og øvrige gæster var unge; jeg er gammel

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.

Flotte uteområder. Sikkert perfekt som del av rafting. Vi var på sykkeltur. Rommene er helt enkle, men fungerer fint. Bortsett fra senga som knirket helt sykt, som er resultat av at den er skrudd fast i veggen med metallbeslag. Disse bør utbedres. Frokost er enkel, men hensikten blir oppnådd. Middagsservering er begrenset. Det var lite kunnskap om det som ble servert av kelner. Fikk beskjed om at det var «fish». Det er jo lite informativt. Mener fast bestemt at det faktisk var villaks vi fikk, som egentlig er fantastisk. Samtidig fikk jeg to halestykker, som er kjedelig. Datter fikk pasta som erstatning for fisk, siden hun ikke liker mye. Fikk heller ikke beskjed om hva forrett var (eller at middag betydde tre retter. Men det viste seg å være en god soppsuppe.

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.

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.

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.
