This was a wonderful place to stay. It was so relaxing and quiet. The breakfast was fabulous as well. I got the single twin room and I thought it was perfect for those that want a little privacy. The view was beautiful from the window. I have nothing negative to say.

Trevligt men hemsk säng!

Ett trevligt boende med mycket trevlig och serviceminded personal. Men sängarna saknar bäddmadrass så man känner fjädrarna… det blev inte mycket sömn.

Bodde i en av "rekkehyttene" Ved ankomst var hytta kald. Trur ikkje det var meir en 10-12 gradert inne. Ellers et greit opphold.

Bra alternativ til rimelig pris.

Enkel og grei overnatting. Ligger i nydelig område. Stille og rolig, stor, gratis parkeringsplass. Rom av vesentlig enklere standard enn byens hoteller, men MYE billigere.

Hadde ikke skyhøye forventninger

Helt ok overnatting. Skulle bare ha en overnatting pga håndballkampen. Var ikke helt forberedt på køyesenger. Men det gikk greit å komme opp. Renhold kom si komsa pga gammelt interiør. Veldig møkkete sofa. Summasumarum ok.

Rommene var slitne, gammeldags, men ganske rene. Det er trangt å være på familierom med ungdommer. Positivt med TV på rommet. Noen familierom er uten bad/toalett. Sengene var greie. Området rundt med bading og tennis er supert, og det er fint å gå bakken opp den lille slalombakken.

Stille og fredelig beliggenhet, ingen støyende biltrafikk og fulle folk som går på utsiden å kauka slik som ved hotell i Gjøvik sentrum. God frokost og rent å pent. Hyggelig betjening. Rimelige priser. Parkeringsplass/uteområde burde vert avretta, leda vatn i kummer og asfaltert. Kan anbefales om enn er ute etter rimelig overnatting og ikkje er ute etter luksus å flislagde romslige bad.

Prisvärt

Bekvämt och prisvärt boende på väg vidare norröver. Våningssängar utan deluxe men vi som är vana att bo enkelt tyckte det var över förväntan. Eget tillagningskök i byggnaden och rätt stor frukostbuffe. Jag kommer absolut stanna till igen på väg mot fjordarna.
