The hotel was great and loved the location near the ski jumps and soccer fields. It very much captured the Olympic vibe. Close to walking trails and to walk to town. The included breakfast was very good. It had a very nice lounge so you could relax outside your room. The shower, as in most of Norway, was small and leaked a bit.

Great facade but room in terrible condition

Beautiful view and great are for hiking. Free parking and good breakfast! The room smelled of smoke and the bathroom of mold. Common area in great shape. Reconditioning long overdue for the room.

Average but not more

A bit outdated and quite a bit from the city centre. Service okay, breakfast as well but not much to do in the area except walking trails and the Olympic Village/Park. No restaurants in the area - only breakfast at the hotel. 800 m downhill to the city centre and same back but uphill. Small rooms with bad ventilation.

Utmärkt

Mycket bra. Så nära perfekt som möjligt. Bra badrum med duschkabin så inte hela golvet blir blött. Bra handdukar som inte är för tjocka så man kan torka sej torr. Utmärkt frukost. Om man ska anmärka på något så är det avsaknad av extra kuddar och skohorn. 1 km till centrum. Rekommenderas.
