Very well organised and presented. Well equipped and very clean

This nice guesthouse was my first and last accommodation on my Norway trip. The whole building as well as all rooms are recently renovated. This house is barrier-free, too. The lounge is decorated stylishly and cosily. The individual sleeping rooms are furnished functionally. Everything, especially the wash rooms was clean. The very kind and helpful staff made me feel almost like home during my stay. I enjoyed this quiet place surrounded by nature, although the capital isn't too far away. So I can recommend this nice place especially for travelers with a car but I also managed to get there by public transport - including a very short walk of about 500 m. One bus during midday is even stopping directly in fronz of it. Around Emma Gjestehus you can easily go hiking or strolling. Sandvika, the next town and train stop starting point to Oslo is also worth a visit with its nice restaurants and the big shopping mall. Another good reason to have a stay at Emma Gjestehus is the good price-performance relationship - compared to most other hotels and hostels in an around Oslo. I would be glad to spend some more days there during my next vacation in Southern Norway.

I was completely satisfied. Maybe travelers who arrive by public transport might see it as a (manageable) hurdle to get there the last meters. For someone who needs action and a central place for staying, this peaceful and relaxing place might not be the first choice.

Comfy beds, great room size, very clean and good bathroom and shower facilities, bonus that there is a kitchen with most of the necessary utensils

When we had to go to the restroom during the night the lights in the hall and bathroom are so bright you almost get blinded :D maybe they could be less bright in the night

The family rooms are tight on space but you can make it work. The place is recently renovated and really clean. The staff gave us a lot of support especially when we were looking for public transport options to Oslo. The history of Emma Hjorth and what she did is fascinating. You not only get a nice, clean, affordable place to stay, it has a a lot of history.

extremely clean, well organised and comfortable

not great location if you want to visit Oslo. Great place for nature though.

A good affordable alternative for staying in Oslo center. Everything is nicely renovated and well maintained. There is a nice feeling of a robotic building with all the automatic doors.

The family room is absolutely tiny for 4 people. Reception hours are limited and it is problematic since they only accept payment in person during their office hours. There was no soap in the shower and no one to ask from sine there is no reception...

Excellent

Quite and feel like home.
