    Very conveniently located and comfortable. Only a short walk to Rauland "centre" (even in thick snow!). Excellent value for money. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was tasty and wholesome.

    Hotel is nice, it is situated in a campus. Breakfast in the morning is good, rooms are comfortable and not so small as I expected. Staff is kind, especially the lady at the reception.

    The property is quite big and we have found it difficult to find our room as had to go outside and across the garden, but we made it in the end :) If you plan to arrive late in the evening, ensure you have some food with you as there is only one place with food open in the town and it is not the best as well (kebab place). There is no TV in the room and WIFI was quite poor in our room.

    The receptionist was lovely although she did not speak much english. I was very pleased that we were able to book the stay only 2 hours before arriving at the hotel. Breakfast was very good! It was very quiet at night during our stay which we very enjoyed. Bathroom was very clean, the room was ok, had two beds, table and balcony exit.

    Price of bringing dogs should have been published in advance. This was a bit pricey, especially seeing that cleaning after a dog that isn't dirty from the start is peanuts with the linoleum flooring. And on top of that I found the room and especially the bathroom not as clean as I expected. I found some hairs and a dirty toilet roll in the bathroom from the previous occupant(s). Also found the room a bit smelly, seems like it does not get any fresh air at all.

    Breakfast choice was great. Lots of food to choose from, very decent breakfast.

    Good place to stay over a night. Its made for summer students who are mostly seniors. But they are very nice, we had a tour of the campus.

    Some of the beds (sofabeds) might have been more comfortable but well, you can not have everything for this price. If you need to charge your car, the closest charger I found was two kilometers away.

    This is a nice hostel with everything you need for a short stay. Room was comfortable, bathroom clean. A nice location close to the lake. Good breakfast. Key was available for late check in.

    quiet stay close to nature and lake

    The building on the outside doesn’t look very nice. On the inside it is practical but not very cosy. The selfservice kitchen is small but enough for a simple dinner. The single room is very cramped.

    This place is good value for money. The staff is very nice and helpful. The second night I moved to a double room which is bigger. I got a room to the parking but it was no problem to change it to a room with forest view! The building also functions as an academy/university/cultural centre. There is also a common room, places to sit outside and a restaurant (had only breakfast and that was ok) The big plus is the location close to the lake and it’s also very quiet.

    Unfortunately the road was closed due the bad weather and I wasn't able to reach the hotel. I write the hotel and asked if this possible to change the date of arrival as it wasn't my fault. Unfortunately I didn't get any answer.

    I do not like the fact that things were not clear from the begining. I travel all the year in EMEA area and also with my family; first time I lived this situation.

    Breakfast was avaialble from 08.00am and not earlier. As we had to catch a ferry end of the morning, we had to leave at 07.30 am. I asked if possible for an earlier breakfast and proposed solution has been to let a kind of breakfast in a frigo close to our room. Breakfast was horrible; no fresh bread, no hot chocolate for kids, no coffee , no milk, no jam, no chocolate pasta...only butter under plastic & a plate with 4 tranches of alami, ham and cheese. No fruit, no yohourt etc... Very disappointing. When we left our house at 07:30; we went through the restaurant and have seen breakfasts were available. Also, last evening, as dinner we just had a soup of vegetables ( A cup of soup); for my 2 kids and 2 adults , we have to pay almost 1000 NOK !!!! come on; it is not acceptable.

    I wish I could meet staff in person to say thank you :) We arrived very late and there was easy to manage self check-in.

    Perfect place to stay. Very calm and quite during April season, beautiful landscape. They served great breakfast despite we were only 2 families who stayed during the weekend. It was also great they had kitchen in common area where you can cook, make hot drinks etc.
