"The cabin is great and quiet w/ a great view on the surrounding mountains (hence the “good” overall score).
However a few points of disappointment which need to be improved:
1- We met 2 staff members and both barely spoke English, although the check-in instructions (Dan Center) said that staff can speak Norwegian, English and German. The 1st person was friendly though and showed us the cabin.
2- More problematic: there are unclear/hidden fees not documented on Expedia web site nor on the specific check-in instructions we received from Dan Center: linens, towels. For the electricity, the 2nd person we met asked us to pay an amount not at all in line with what is documented on Expedia web site (0.15 Euro/kWh). Also we were very careful to turn off the lights and the heaters at night and during the day when we were not there. When I asked the 2nd person for an explanation for the electricity fee, he was not able to explain it to me in English and I didn’t have time to go through a Google Translate conversation. And he asked us to pay in cash, although the specific check-in instructions said we could pay any incidentals by credit card.
So at the very minimum Expedia needs to clearly document these various fees (linens, towels, electricity) for this property to avoid any bad surprise afterwards."
"Rooms were clean. In the top bunk bed, the mattress was taller than the railing and therefore not safe for children to sleep. No shampoo or body wash provided. The view was incredible "
"Nice hotel. Great location. Decent breakfast. We had larger cases so bit of a pain lugging them down stairs to our room ( and back up leaving next day ). But handy and helpful for charging our EV"
"Beautiful location, convenient to many great tourist sites if traveling by car. Hassle free parking and awesome breakfast included in price. Very efficient staff in a well run facility. Innkeeper was especially helpful and knowledgeable with suggestions regarding local activities."
"Driving into Hjelle through the lakeside tunnel was magical. This repurposed schoolhouse was a fantastic place to experience old-world Norwegian living. Loved the nook beds and touches of history. The modern bath and kitchen were integrated well. The property manager was kind and helpful - he let us know when the early snowfall unexpectedly closed down the mountain pass. Was a great site to just relax and enjoy!"
"Clean cabin however the WiFi did not work in the cabin. You have to purchase both the bed sheets and the towels in a bundle and cannot purchase just one. This was not clearly written in the description. Also you had to buy a token to take a 5 min shower which I was not aware of based on the description. "
