We stayed at superior suite and there was enough space for a family of three and a dog. There were some small nuisances, however. There were no bath robes, even though they were mentioned in the room description. We had candles, but the gas-lighter didn’t work. I put the sign “please, clean my room”, but the room service didn’t arrive. Even to change the towels. I didn’t bother to report these “accidents” to the reception. I wish I mentioned sauna, however.

We stayed over Easter and enjoyed taking snow shoes (trygge) walks just a stone’s throw from the property. The staff were friendly and helpful and provided us with a paper map to Håtveitgrendi. Høydalsmo offers great ski tracks just 10 minutes’ drive from the hotel (if you use JPS, go for Høydalsmo barnehage or skule for a stress-free ride). Otherwise pretty much everything was closed during our stay, including Ski Adventure, located on the property. It’s really beyond my comprehension why on earth a ski museum would be closed in winter, only to be re-opened in May. Also the Olympic flame was only visible in the dark. The hotel’s restaurant was the only place to have dinner, since all the cafés and small taverns were closed for the season. Dinners were tasty, even though they followed a strict pattern of main courses. However, with just two days’ stay, it wasn’t a big issue. I loved taking a swim in the swimming pool before breakfast, which was a sensational experience with the view of snow-covered fields and hill tops outside. Unfortunately, sauna was hot just on the arrival day. The two following days, I made do with just swimming in the pool.

Old television in room with limit channels. No fridge to cool down drinks for the hike we had.

Great pool facilities and and beautiful food. Especially the breakfast buffet, that had absolutely “everything”. You can also pay 75 NOK and bring a lunch bag with, you with is great.

Great buffet breakfast.

I thought we had ordered a vegetarian dinner, but this never eventuated, because we lost confidence in the whole process after staff seemed to be completely unaware of a request that had been confirmed earlier by email, as well as in person when we checked in. There seems to be a lack of communication among staff members at the hotel. However, it should be noted that all staff we encountered had good manners, and did try to be helpful.

A very comfortable hotel with nice views.

Unfortunately the driveway was being relaid - on the plus side they’ll be fine next time we visit!

Stunning location, excellent dinner and breakfast

Breakfast the last morning lacked a bit compared to the other days, although there were two hours left of service. Also on the last night a large group of locals had some kind of party and dinner in the hotel, occupying the pool area with drinks and partying, making it very unwelcoming for families with children such as ours. Rooms are a bit on the small side when staying as a family of four for more than one night.

Nice but old hotel. Very friendly and nice cleaning staff.

breakfast with very limited choice

swimming pool / bedrooms

Grounds could do with some love especially basketball court and mini-golf. Dinner needs to be booked at reception, which we didn’t know on our first night so it wasn’t a very welcoming entry to the restaurant! Food was good but menu very limited for kids, adding in some vegetables would make a big difference.

Great scenic location in itself and a great base for travelling around Telemark. Hotel allows dogs, although only in room and to get to room. Swimming pool was great. Great breakfast. Hotel staff were really friendly.

Restaurant menu should vary a little. For us who stayed for 3 days, ran out of options. And the quality could be improved.

Staff is super especially at the restaurant. Room is nice. Bed is comfy. Bathroom could be better. Even the hotel was full but the pool was nearly vacant😂
