Beliggenheten, med god utsikt over byen, og med Fastland badepark som nabo!
Utemøbler.
Bra kjøkken- og stuefasiliteter, hvorav en stor og god TV med sving.
Luftig.
Deilig frokost.
Veldig hyggelig personale.
Alle bygningene, inkl alle plattinger, ga et rimelig shabby inntrykk utvendig. Utearealene generelt bar heller ikke preg av å være velstelte. Hadde dessuten vært hyggelig med litt utebeplanting.

The cabin where I stayed (studio room) was very cute and had just what I needed for a couple of days. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast buffet was good😊

En plass med god atmosfære mellom veggene og veldig hyggelig betjening. Ryddig og hjemmekoselig på samme tid. Veldig trivelig med fellesrom man kan slappe av på. Man merket at det ble tatt på alvor å drive stedet på en seriøs og imøtekommende måte.
Plassen var super, men uhelidig at det på booking.com blir framstilt som om toalett og bad er inne på rommene. Betjeningen sa de hadde hørt dette av besøkende tidligere. Dette var ikke noe problem for oss, vi fikk lett oppgradert til rom med bad.

Breakfast was fine. Very friendly reception, The location in the town is nice and calm.
The town was a little disappoining given the location at a lake. Where we slept was rather a container than a room, floor needs renobvation. Fairly clean but certainly minimalistic, in particular in relation to the price, but that is probably Norway.

Nice location with a city and see view. Close to tennishall and ski lift. Nice lobby with tee and coffee, good WLAN.
Room could be more modern

This must be among one of the best hostels I've stayed in. Dorm room was well sized, great leisure room to relax in, and the included breakfast would put many hotels to shame. The self-catering facilities are adequate. And all in a great location and for a good price (for Norwegian standards)
Not much, the mattress was a little soft/thin, but it didnt stop me having a good nights sleep.

Staff are friendly. Good breakfast and coffee. Room is clean.
The madrass may need to be replaced to the new one.

Amazing price for a hostel in Norway. The breakfast was great, in my opinion quite luxurious (e.g. smoked salmon, eggs, salad, different types of fresh bread and yoghurts). The dorm had a sink and I had the dorm to myself!
The location was a bit of a walk, but it was worth it. The bathroom wasn't that nice and the showers had no locks, just curtains, so everyone could walk in.

We liked the site facilities even though didn’t have time to use the tennis courts. We enjoyed the lounge and ordered a pizza one evening which was lovely. Breakfast was good and it was great that we could grab a tea or coffee during the day. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Perhaps having a more substantial and comfortable sofa would have made our room better, particularly if we had stayed at the hostel more during the day.

All really great!

Location was a quiet place, right next to a large park.
Disadvantage is that there is no restaurant. Breakfast is served although.
