Coming from the UK, we'd never really come across the 'Fjellstue' concept - it's somewhere between a full hotel, and a hostel. It's a bit like a 'budget flights' hotel, but with out the constant upselling you get from the airlines. (Also trying to compare it to budget airlines is slightly demeaning to the Fjellstue, but it's the best analogy I could make)
We'd come to the site from a hostel in Oslo...
Very good location, rooms are clean, amazing view. However, the food quality was bad. Basically they served a leftover food from 1-2 days ago and we all got stomach problem right after having dinner!
Recommend to either bring food or go and grab food from somewhere else!
Amazing location. Comfortable rooms and balconies. However, paid around $30 (289 NOK) per person for a buffet dinner of chicken and pasta that was reheated and dry... and gave us diarrhea. So, if you come on an off-day (not Friday or Saturday nights) it might be best to bring food or go down the mountain for some fresh grub.
On another note, shampoo and towels are not included in the cost.
Great place to stay! We stayed here because we wanted to hike up to Gaustatoppen. It's the perfect location because its only a short drive to get to the parking lot. On a clear day, you'll be able to see the top of Gaustatoppen. The facilities are great, it even has a sauna. The rooms are spacious and large and incredibly clean. There is a basin in the room so you can fill your water bottle and brush...
Clean hostel-like accommodation in a fantastic Norwegian setting high up in the mountains. Excellent view on Mount Gausta. Free canoes on the nearby lake. Close to ski tracks. Good food. Highly recommended.
Nice view, cosy rooms & very
Friendly hosts!
