Clean apartment with plenty of space. The staff was friendly. Wifi in the unit was fairly weak. Breakfast is typical of Norwegian hotels.

Some of the previous reviews seem unnecessarely harsh to me. Yes, the apartments are privately owned, not all private owners have a high budget or much taste, so also the apartment we were assigned too was not nicely decorated, a bit empty, and had almost exclusively IKEA furniture and hardware. But, the apartment was clean, decent, spacious, comfortable, everything required was present, and it wasn't thát ugly, really. Even had a dishwasher and a washing machine. And free wifi.||Plus, the prices were very reasonable. You're not paying for a 5 star hotel, so you shouldn't be expecting 5 star hotel quality. The price matches the quality.||The restaurant serves very simple food, with the prices to match. Three types of pizza with 4 additional toppings to choose from, and 3-4 standard Norwegian dishes. We ate there for 400 NK with our family of 4 people. ||The area is one of my favourite in Norway. Here you have everything within a 30-40 minute drive: gletchers, plateaus, spectacular hiking trails, the fjords, skiing (even summer skiing), the hadangervidda, and even the coast could be reached in a day trip. Yet it isn't so ridiculously touristy as the Sognefjord area up north of the Telemarken to the east. Don't understand why though, in my opinion this region os much more beautiful and interesting as telemarken.

My wife and I feel fortunate to have found a room in this little hotel with an excellent restaurant. We had the reindeer patties and cod dinners. The included breakfast was just right. The receptionist/manager lady treated us so kindly and also treated her two brand-new employees super well. She took a sincere interest in my wife’s Norwegian heritage and went to the trouble of printing out the Norwegian words to Row, Row, Row Your Boat, a version of which has gotten passed down through the generations in my wife’s family. We enjoyed sitting on the bench across the road from the hotel, taking in the great scenery. We would originally have chosen a hotel in a larger city but now feel glad we found this peaceful place between water and mountain. Oh, and our room had a super comfortable bed which we count as a wonderful bonus.

OK,- this is not a classical 5 star hotel,- they do not exist in Norway anyway. But this a 3 star hotel that deserves top rating! It is homely,- cosy,- great consept as "appartments",- we had great view,- terrase,- very spacy and comfy. The food is simple,- but very (surprisingly) good.... and the service is simple but very friendly. We will be back here,- as we got what we came for: terrific nature,- beutiful scenery,- nice location an clean comfy stay. Thanks so much!!!

Nicely located on top of the Røldal lake and close to several ski slopes and tracks. Personnel nice and service was good. Hotel rooms and restaurant to be improved. Overall a bit overpriced for the quality but ok for a short 2-3 days stay.

Very nice hotel, very friendly and smiley staff, they helped with everything we asked for. everything in the room looked new, better still than the pictures. Amazing view of the fjord. We loved every minute of our stay!

A hotel with one of the most spectacular views. The space inside the room is quite generous with a separate living room and a kitchen. The balcony is pretty wide. This is my staple hotel everytime I visit Norway. There are 2 downsides of this hotel though. First, everything in the bathroom almost tears apart. Second, there is a sticker on a glasswindow which blocks the view from the inside.
