| A very nice and cosy accommodation with a very good view of fjord and snow mountain, which is totally different from normal youth hostels. It is rather like a hotel than a hostel. The hostel has a very good and classic decoration. Peaceful and quiet environment for spending holidays with family or friends.Excellent breakfast buffet every morning is provided in the cosy breakfast room where you can sit back and relax with the tasty and a hotel-standard breakfast buffet. Comfortable beds is also ready for every traveller to have a good night sleep. | ||
