Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and clean, but the view could use some improvement. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some staff being unfriendly while others were welcoming. The location was convenient for bus travelers, but the hotel had some drawbacks like a stained playing surface. The dining was satisfactory with a good variety, although the noise from neighboring rooms was a downside.
The hotel is conveniently located near the bus station, overlooking a lake, making it a fantastic spot for a stay. The staff was friendly, but there were some issues with connectivity when processing payments. The rooms were small and a bit poorly ventilated, but the one with a double bed and pull-out sofa bed was much more pleasant.
The hotel had pros like a beautiful view of the grounds and lake, comfortable rooms with a double bed and a pull-out sofa bed, and a very central location in Fagernes. However, the noise from neighboring rooms and water pipes was disturbing, and the receptionist's service fell short.
The hotel offered clean and spacious rooms, ideal for families, but some maintenance issues like a crack in the balcony. The view was overlooking the parking lot. The service was friendly but lacked attention due to staff being outside smoking. The location was central, with stunning views of hills and water, perfect for bus travelers. The dining experience was good with a large spread, but the promised nice view turned out disappointing. Overall, a convenient stay with some minor drawbacks.
