We had a very pleasant time in this quiet hostel where everything was catered for for the travellers : the hostels was not so full so the two kitchens turned out enough for us to cook in the evening, and it was fully equipped. The room was confortable and it even had a view on the fjord even though we didn't requets a room with a view! We even enjoyed a (free!) game of table hockey and there were other games available. The staff was absolutely helpful and nice. A very good experience.

Loved: the location-beautiful, close to ferry, store, & restaurants. The hiking trails! The kitchens (though need to be restocked), the beds were comfortable, the view was lovely, the breakfast was plentiful.

The nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. Spacious, clean, almost like a hotel. And the location was phenomenal.
