    Very clean hostel with nice atmosphere and comfortable relaxing areas with sofas and books, new and for a hostel very luxurious showers (not sure if everywhere, but at least in the part of the hostel I have been), walking distance (about 25 minutes) from the train station, good breakfast. But there is on big disadvantage: The mattress I had was really bad (I guess it was an pretty old spring mattress) and caused pretty hard back pain the next morning.

    First of all, it's really hard to find. We booked it as Setnes Feriesenter and it doesn't appear in the GPS map or on the internet with that name. The cabins are great, recently built, and some of them overlook the fjord, but the sleeping area is not tall enough to prepare the beds and you need to bend your back painfully for some time. Breakfast is average, we lacked cottage cheese and more fruit but toasts and cereals were good. Internet connection is poor and not steady in some cabins, maybe in the common area. The lady who runs the place is available most of the times, but we were leaving early in the morning the last day and she didn't allow us to grab some food to take away, and not miss the breakfast money entirely, so we were quite upset.

    Expensive hostel for its amenities. Staff was not at the desk each time we stopped in for help although she left a phone to call if needed. She was very friendly when we finally met her the next day. We stayed at one of the hostel rooms- ok bed, ok bathroom. Hard to find this place- the address directed us to another hostel in the area.

    Good location about 30 minutes walk from downtown Andalsnes train station near the river with a mountainous background. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. There are a few 1-2 hour hikes around and bikes and car rentals are available at the train station downtown and at the Belle Vue Grand Hotel downtown (About $100 usd per day including taxes and fees). Best to book ahead during summer months as they fill up pretty fast. Common area in the main lobby but not many people hung out there when I was there. There is also a nice outdoor dining area that most families occupied. Kitchen is nice and easily accessible. No shampoo or soap was provided for the shower as most hostels in Norway. Mostly couples and families staying there at the time I was. I didn't go for a swim or bath in the river as I'm sure it was a bit cold but did see a few and it's only a 5 minute walk. Grocery store is also about 10 minutes away. The climbing museum / restaurant downtown has nice views of the fjords as well and a few dinner items. Andalsnes is a small town but a pretty good base / halfway point from Oslo to some great hikes, Gieranger (2.5hrs) and Styrne Summer Ski Centre (3.5 hrs).
