Stayed at this hotel Saturday to Sunday first weekend of September. Location is very nice. The hotel is pricy for what you get. The employees are not very knowledgeable about the local hiking conditions, nor do they seem to be professionally trained hotel staff, but just young adults hired in for the season. Rooms and food are okay, but in no way exceptional (rooms and meal portions are on the small side). Set out Sunday morning with my son to hike across the mountain-pass to Gjendebu hut - unfortunately we had to turn around and go back because of an injury and ended up spending 8 hours in the mountains. Coming back very exhausted to the hotel we found it closed for the night because of an employee party. We asked if they under the circumstances would make an exception and let us stay for the night. One employee said that it was okay, but they didn't have anything on the menu because of the party - no problem, we just needed a room to rest/sleep for the night and of course we wouldn't bother their party. Within a few minutes after this message another employee showed up with a very unwelcoming (almost hostile) attitude and told us that we had to leave right away because staying wasn't possible after all (no further explanation was given). She said that we could go 3-4km further if we wanted a hotel. Alternatively there was a DNT hut close by that might have room for us. My son explained to her as well about the injury and the fact that I'm 75 years old and need to have a bathroom close by at night. Little did it help - my son and I got thrown back out of the hotel - end of story!
Thankfully the kind hostess at the DNT hut (Solbjørg of Fondsbu hut - what a fantastic person and a true ambassador of Norwegian mountain hospitality) welcomed us in and went absolutely above and beyond when hearing about our situation - being a hut they don't have rooms with a bathroom, but she got us a nice and cozy two-person room right across the hall from their bathrooms and made sure we got a nice meal. She also made sure to call the hut we never made it to and let them know we weren't coming. Can't thank her enough for saving our day. Needless to say, next time we will stay at Fondsbu hut.response / report this review -

If you're planning on hiking: definitely book this hotel. They give you bags to take your free lunch, it's filled with other hikers and the scenery is lovely.
If you are not planning on hiking: don't. The people that work there hardly speak any English. They give you no information about the activities or what so ever. In the room there is a bed, a shower and toilet. That's it. No television, no dark curtains, the wifi doesn't work unless you're standing at the reception. It's an hour drive on bad roads in the middle of nowhere before you get there. There are hotels that are far more accessible with the same great view.response / report this review -
