Guest Reviews

• Monika (8/5): - Die Zimmer sind zwar klein, aber der Platz wird perfekt genutzt, ohne sich beengt zu fühlen. Das Personal ist sehr nett und unaufdringlich. Da nimmt man es auch mal in Kauf, dass beim Frühstück der Joghurt alle ist. Zumal, wenn man sich in der Nebensaison befindet und nur wenige Gäste da sind. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hinfahren. Im Bad wäre es schön, wenn ein Haken an der Tür wäre, um ein Handtuch aufzuhängen. Der nächste ist nämlich am anderen Ende vom Bad und das ist ungünstig, wenn man nach dem Händewaschen immer den ganzen Boden volltropft.

• Anne (6/5): Greit sted å overnatte på gjennomreise. Burde vært mulig å få noe å spise på kvelden. - Greit sted å overnatte på gjennomreise Trodde ut fra beskrivelse at det var mulig å bestille middag, men fikk forklart dagen etter at det var bare for grupper. Vi kom sent på dagen og så ikke for oss å reise rundt for å finne sted å spise. Heldigvis hadde vi noen tørre kjeks…
• Bettina (9/5): Praktische Pension für Ausflüge in Norwegens Natur - Interessanter 70er Jahre Bau in schöner Lage mitten in Rauland. Mischung aus "Schule", Kulturhaus und Pension, Perfekt für Ausflüge in die Hardangervidda und nach Rjukan oder einen Zwischenstopp. Ruhige Lage, gute Parkmöglichkeiten, Restaurant in der Nähe.
• BJØRG (3/5): Ok en natt for reisende. - Grei beliggenhet for veifarende for en natt. Dette er ikke hotell, med et skole-/kurssenter med overnattingsmulighet og kantine.
• Anne - Marie (7/5): -
• Henk Veldman (8/5): -
• luc lauwaert (10/5): -
• Morgan (10/5): - It was a great facility, the staff was AMAZING very friendly and helpful
• Stephan (9/5): -
• Jette (10/5): - Roen, miljøet og naturen omkring. Fine ture i fjeldet og ved søen. Gensyn med steder vi tidligere har besøgt i Rauland for mange år siden.
• Cornelia (10/5): - Koselig dame i resepsjonen 👍. Ved frokosten var det deilig hjemmebakt brød👍 Ingen negative ting

• Aga (10/5): Nice pitstop during long drive. Positively surprise that they organize so many courses. - Very nice place where you can relax after long journey. Staff was very helpful. Very good breakfast - everybody could find something for them. I was positively surprise that the facility organize so many courses - for sure I need to check the offer for future.
• Aila (6/5): Pleasant - The nature and location A bit dirty (could be because I moved in before my check-in time)
• Pieter (9/5): Superb -
• Udakara (7/5): Good - Nice location and nice staff. Rooms were a bit basic but everything was ok.
• Donatas (3/5): I have nothing to say - Unfortunately the road was closed due the bad weather and I wasn't able to reach the hotel. I write the hotel and asked if this possible to change the date of arrival as it wasn't my fault. Unfortunately I didn't get any answer.
• John (8/5): Very comfortable and convenient when staying in Rauland - Very conveniently located and comfortable. Only a short walk to Rauland "centre" (even in thick snow!). Excellent value for money. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was tasty and wholesome.
• Giuseppe (8/5): Nice hotel! - Hotel is nice, it is situated in a campus. Breakfast in the morning is good, rooms are comfortable and not so small as I expected. Staff is kind, especially the lady at the reception.
• Linda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bueffl (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast Clean Friendly
• Bueffl (8/5): Very good - An amazing breakfast
• Mila (9/5): Beautiful location, good for the money - Beautiful location, helpful and polite staff, parking place, very good breakfast.
• Philippe (2/5): disappointing and I do not recommend this pseudo hotel - Breakfast was avaialble from 08.00am and not earlier. As we had to catch a ferry end of the morning, we had to leave at 07.30 am. I asked if possible for an earlier breakfast and proposed solution has been to let a kind of breakfast in a frigo close to our room. Breakfast was horrible; no fresh bread, no hot chocolate for kids, no coffee , no milk, no jam, no chocolate pasta...only butter under plastic & a plate with 4 tranches of alami, ham and cheese. No fruit, no yohourt etc... Very disappointing. When we left our house at 07:30; we went through the restaurant and have seen breakfasts were available. Also, last evening, as dinner we just had a soup of vegetables ( A cup of soup); for my 2 kids and 2 adults , we have to pay almost 1000 NOK !!!! come on; it is not acceptable. I do not like the fact that things were not clear from the begining. I travel all the year in EMEA area and also with my family; first time I lived this situation.
• Aujourdhui (10/5): Silence, green and smile - The staff was super friendly, the rooms practical and clean with bathroom included, the location is perfect for a get-away. Silence, green and smile - if I can summarise it. The breakfast was great, everything what you eat at home was available (if you eat healthy)
• Peter (8/5): Very good -
• Van (8/5): Very good - Spacious room.
• Diana (7/5): Good -
• Jana (10/5): Perfect place to stay. - Perfect place to stay. Very calm and quite during April season, beautiful landscape. They served great breakfast despite we were only 2 families who stayed during the weekend. It was also great they had kitchen in common area where you can cook, make hot drinks etc. I wish I could meet staff in person to say thank you :) We arrived very late and there was easy to manage self check-in.
• Francesca (8/5): Very good -
• Patrycja (8/5): Very good for a short stay during your journey. - The receptionist was lovely although she did not speak much english. I was very pleased that we were able to book the stay only 2 hours before arriving at the hotel. Breakfast was very good! It was very quiet at night during our stay which we very enjoyed. Bathroom was very clean, the room was ok, had two beds, table and balcony exit. The property is quite big and we have found it difficult to find our room as had to go outside and across the garden, but we made it in the end :) If you plan to arrive late in the evening, ensure you have some food with you as there is only one place with food open in the town and it is not the best as well (kebab place). There is no TV in the room and WIFI was quite poor in our room.
• Trond (8/5): Very good -
• Rob (8/5): Very good - Very friendly receptionist. Had made arrangements for us to collect the key and allowed us to join students for pizza dinner.
• Richard (8/5): Very good - very clean and comfortable. breakfast was great the signage wasn’t clear which made locating it difficult
• Bart (7/5): Stay in a university room. - Good breakfast at the University. Hot water + tea or dried coffee in the hallway for free. Its at the University. Looked like a room which could be used for students.
• Feiguel (10/5): Exceptional - Clean room with a shower, good breakfast, easy to access in a lovely place
• Svenson (7/5): Breakfast yay, room not so. - Breakfast choice was great. Lots of food to choose from, very decent breakfast. Price of bringing dogs should have been published in advance. This was a bit pricey, especially seeing that cleaning after a dog that isn't dirty from the start is peanuts with the linoleum flooring. And on top of that I found the room and especially the bathroom not as clean as I expected. I found some hairs and a dirty toilet roll in the bathroom from the previous occupant(s). Also found the room a bit smelly, seems like it does not get any fresh air at all.
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Mentr (9/5): Superb - Well cleaned. Good beds. Good sanitary arrangements. Morning breakfast was well arranged. I would like to have paid a little less for the one night :)
• Sander (7/5): Good and cheap place to stay for a night - Breakfast and dinner The “sleeping sofa” was a true nightmare….
• Xiaodong (8/5): Very good - Good place to stay over a night. Its made for summer students who are mostly seniors. But they are very nice, we had a tour of the campus. Cleaning should be improved.
