The room was great and I had a great experience
24.09.2025 Rune
good value west of Oslo, comfortable but basic
was home for disabled people I think, now a simple but comfortable guesthouse in quiet surroundings on a hill, not very central but buses 700meters away. clean basic rooms with windows to open. No extras, no TV, but good beds. best is the ground floor and terrace, kitchen with all equipment available. Paid under 1000kr for a night.

Nice place to stay with all the comforts of home.

Great experience. Lady at front desk was very helpful. Thought it was a great deal for Oslo. I had a rent a car, so easy to get to. No tv in room, fine by me. One in the lobby. Shared bathroom, clean and convenient. Full shared kitchen. Very convenient. I went to the local market, heated up pasta and sauce. I would definitely recommend. Lobby had a nice zen feeling. Nice touch with the battery candles.

It had heavily snowed when i stayed at that hotel. It is located in the countryside, surrounded by beautiful natural landscape. Good for walks in nature. The rooms can modernise the decoration and furnishings.

Basic and clean guest room with plenty of parking spaces, shared lounge/kitchen/shower/toilet facilities with other guests

I would not advise to book this place because their adverts are unclear about the lack of bathrooms in the room. The site misleads guests to book a room for 2 with bathroom when I fact this not available. When surfing the site it is visible but when booking this is not! Furthermore, I was quoted a few of 800 NOK but on booking it charges 900 NOK. Has good hygiene standards but is certainly not value for money. I would recommend the cabin further down the road when in fact you get an entire house with 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms for just 500 NOK more.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great selfcatering facilities. Calm area.
