| Best location ,around the lake and at the starting point of the pulpit rock excursion.The breakfast buffet is ok ,but the evening menu at the restaurant is overkill:too expensive.You should definitely use the common kitchen if you are staying at the hostel.So bring your own supplies as there is no shop around. | ||

| private double room-that was honestly smallest room I had ever seen and should be named a storage room.one shared shower on the floor simply not enough plus additional two showers in other building where you have to put 10kr to have hot water is simply a joke,not even to mention you can't lock the door there.
very friendly staff,good breakfast and amazing route to Preikestolen makes you forget all these things though... Hostel response: | ||
