The bright, friendly, dedicated young staff of mostly Swedish and Danish employees keep this beautiful and historic Norwegian hotel running very well, by all appearances. The facilities are carefully maintained and they seem to enjoy heaving aprés ski action at their bar. The location is excellent for skiing with access to Slaata ski center just around the corner at the... More

My company had arranged a trip on cross country skis on Hallingsskarvet for a group of 12 people. Already on the phone the service was incredible. Anything was possible, they asked for sizes to be well prepared and asked in depth about the trip to help us. When we arrived at the ski rental (we didn't stay at the hotel),... More

Very nice old style hotel, trying to keep traditions from old days. My husbant first stayed there when he was a kid, back in 60-s, and several time later during years. So I heard many good memories about this place and was looking forward to see it. Atmosphere in the hotel is very homely, staff very friendly and professional. Of... More

Positive: Beautiful location and nice, traditional Norwegian, decor. Friendly staff. The swimming pool, turkish bath and fitness are good. Everything was clean. Negative: my bathroom was really tiny. Most of my colleagues did not have any hot water for the first day (evening and next morning) and the deduction offered for this was ridiculous: NOK 130, approx USD 25. The... More

We booked two twin bedded interconnecting rooms for 2 nights which worked well for our family with 2 grown children. Hotel is full of character and staff on reception very helpful. Spa was much appreciated and outdoor hot tub was fun. Beds very comfortable but lighting in the room was very dim even by hotel standards and still using energy... More

This hotel is magnificent. Perfect location ( marvellous views, central and close to the station) Originally a very stylish sanatorium it is now a superbly classy hotel, retaining tradition but up to the minute facilities. Food very special indeed - especially the cold choice on the buffet. And exceptional staff who will go the extra mile. I want to go... More

We stayed here for one night, on route to Oslo. The hotel has old world charm, traditional norwegian style wooden building. The interior is in keeping with the style, and its very near Geilo train station (2min walk) with luggage might be a little longer. We got of the train, and the hotel had sent a car to pick us...

We only stayed here for 1 night on our tour of Norway but found it very friendly and had a comfortable stay. The evening buffet was outstanding. This is a very large old building which makes it quite unique. It even has a bowling alley although we did not see it. Our room was clean and comfortable.

Great hotel to visit in summer when prices are fairly low, and you want a bit of luxury. We stayed for one night on our way through. As Geilo is a winter sports place, this hotel has special offers in the summer season, when there’s not so much to do in the area. Our kids loved the pool area with... More
