Øen Turistsenter Apartments

Nice spacious apartment with an amazing view of the stream nearby. It was really relaxing sitting in the huge balcony amd listening to the sounds of the water. The kitchen had enough crockery for the 6 of us. The open plan of the kitchen, dining and living room was very convenient.

The apartment didn't have hand soap in the bathroom. There was no microwave in the kitchen. The living room roof leaked in a couple of places during the very heavy rain when we were there. We were offered an alternate apartment but we managed to put mops and buckets and stayed there with no further issues during the night.

Location was good also the apartment is good for a family of 9 ppl

Toiletries wasn't available nor it was mentioned while booking. There were no heaters on the rooms above. No microwave was available

The facility was very clean and well equipped. Good location as well, close to city centre.

The accommodation is good value for money for those happy to stay outwith the immediate town centre. There is ample parking and a ski bus for those arriving by public transport (we were in a car). The cabin was clean and warm with enough seating spaces for our party size. There was space to store our skis. The small sauna was great to relax off the muscles after a day of skiing. The owners are super friendly and helpful - this has been our experience on a number of previous visits. You can buy a lovely breakfast at the main lodge - we have done this in the past but were fully self-catering. Not sure if they do evening meals.

The kitchen equipment was a bit limited - perhaps more so than I remember from previous visits - eg one shelf in the oven meaning you had to plan out what could be cooked for a party with diverse dietary requirements. A toaster and a microwave would have made things better.

missed a toaster

Beautiful location, skibus stops right outside twice a day (once there, once back), river nearby very pretty, staff wonderful. e were in one of the apartments which was a good size for the number of people. Cabins so pretty, and not on top of each other, but still a compact site - just right. A winter wonderland I will never forget. Perfect for children couples - peaceful setting and atmosphere. Note there is a large storage room under the ski rental centre at Vestlia where you can leave equipment which is really helpful.

Would be good if there was more that one ski bus (there and back) per day, but that may not be within the control of the accommodation. You could walk if you absolutely had to (if you got caught out, about 2km I think to Geilo centre). We enjoyed waking and skiing to the natural rhythm of the day.
