wireless internet was only in the upstairs room in the main building and it was very unstable. Thats not good enough. Moderne people need wireless internet.
Hostel response:
Thank you for your rating. Unfortunately we do not really provide WIFI here at the hostel this year, but hopefully and probably next season! The WIFI in the upstairs room that you mention, is dated back to the origins of the WIFI, and therefore very unstable. Even though we do not advertise or inform guests that it exists (on websites, flyers etc.), we have chosen to keep it there for our guests to use for free if they want to. Best regards, the staff -

Hostel Overview
This hostel is a seasonal hostel, which means it is not open all year and has seasonal opening times. Please keep this is mind when checking availability. Lysefjorden Vandrerhjem sits right inside the Lysefjorden. The hostel has 22 rooms and 49 beds. All rooms have en-suite facilities. Lysefjorden is a starting point for many exciting trips, for instance to Kjerag, 7 km, or Nilsebu, 22 km. Impressive, wild nature with great contrasts is what makes this idyllic place what it is.Lysefjorden Vandrerhjem is the perfect base for doing the hike to Kjerag and many other beautiful hikes.
Please note that our 4-bedded rooms are with 2 beds and mattresses on the loft. And therefore more suitable for two adults and two children than for adults only.
Due to this, the price on our online booking is for two adults and two children, and for our 3-bedded rooms the price is for two adults and one child.
If you would still like to book it for three or four adults, please send us an email and we will confirm your booking.
If you choose to book online, the additional charge will be added to your bill at arrival.
Please note that we have got two different offers on single rooms with two different prices. The one with the lower price is in an older building and the standard is not like our other rooms. Therefore you may choose a double room as a single room, but at a differency in the price.
