The staff are relentlessly cheerful and helpful. Excellent breakfast, all you can eat every morning. Kitchen facilities and laundry facilities are available. It is not far from the centre of town, with gorgeous views.

The wifi in my room was very weak, so I had to attend to personal emails (eg edit the abstract for a conference paper) in the lounge area. Also, the washing in the basement area dries quite slowly, but I was warned about that!

Super good location, and value for money. Very clean, very tidy, free breakfast, helpful and smiley staff. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Beyond Perfect for a short stay.

There was 4 beds in my room that made feel on edge that I could have a room mate any moment without warning.

I took a private room for 950. I took off one point on comfort because the bed was small and you had to put on the sheets yourself. But everything else was excellent - and for this price one should be very happy with the facility. Staff is friendly and I had no issues. Beautiful view of the sun rising over the tennis-courses ☀️

The place was very charming and the breakfast was better than i expected. Great price, great location, will definitely book again!

It said there was an oven in the studio room description of the kitchen, which there wasn’t. I also wish there would have been an extra hand towel. A little extra embellished on booking.com, so I guess I expected a little bit more than I got, but that’s on me. :)

Breakfast and staff were fantastic, room was very basic and very warm so had to borrow a fan from reception, we had a room with two bunk beds and a shared bathroom as we booked late so no choice, next time will book with an en suite as didn’t like sharing bathroom.

No en suite to our room and very warm felt like a sauna

1. serene atmosphere at the balcony 2. very clean environment 3. It is good idea to select preferences from the whole breakfast menu. 4. Easy to locate.

I was lucky to have a room because it was the only available room as at when I booked but the bed was too small.

The host is really friendly and provides great service. The place is super clean, and there are fun things to do like swimming and playing ball games. It’s quiet and safe at night, and very reasonably priced — a great choice for budget travelers.

Fairly basic hostel accommodation with bunk beds. You have to put the bedding on yourself and the bathroom is shared. But the place is super clean, with friendly staff, a great breakfast (included in the price) and fantastic views from the breakfast balcony, where you can also chill with a drink in the evening. Outstanding value for money in an expensive country, and an ideal stopover if you're on the long drive south towards Oslo or Torp airports.

Nothing not to like.

The cabin exactly matched the photos. It was very comfortable stay and the view from the cabin was excellent. There is a pool area nearby for swimming. The breakfast was really good with lot of spreads.

It would been better if the bathroom was bit big otherwise nothing to complain about the place
