Very cozy room and the kids were very happy about it. Unfortunatly in need for some care with broken lamp and bathtub stopper missing.
Not sure if it was becasue of low season, but breakfast was beuatifully served av the table. The bread was 5 of 5!
Utrolig hyggelig plass med godt vertskap. Fikk bestilt en deilig 3 retter på veldig kort varsel. Generelt god oppvartning på hjemme koselig og sjarmerende sted rett ved vannet.
Fint sted men slitt. Badet har meget enkel standard fra 60 år tilbake. Manglet lyspærer flere steder. Til tross for enkel standard på rommet høy pris for hund. Høyere enn ellers i Europa. Frokostbuffet, lite utvalg av pålegg og ingen grønnsaker eller frukt.

Hyggelig opphold
Hyggelig opphold på Strand Fjellstue. hyggelig personale og god søndagsbuffet med middag. Strand Fjellstue er et gammelt erhverdig fjellpensjonst som nok har sett sine beste dager. Gode senger og hyggelige rom, men slitt og kunne trenge litt oppussing. Spesielt badet. Veldig enkel frokost.
Det er en koselig, gammeldags fjellstue. Stille og rolig. Vertskapet var meget imøtekommende og vennlige. Renhold upåklagelig! Maten var helt fantastisk, hjemmelaget og god, rause porsjoner.

I inngangspartiet til rommene lå det brukte sokker, uvasket stekepanne, Haug med brukte håndkler, sko og klær strødd. Personalet virket ligyldig. Dosetet var festet i en skrue, holdt på å skli da jeg satte meg ned,lokket helt løst, jeg la det i dusjen, Stor forskjell på rommene,kommer ikke tilbake selvom Fjelllørretten til middag var god.
Oppholdet var kjekt. Kom til ett hotell som har tatt vare på tradisjon og ser ut for å jobbe med det. Kvart rom sitt særpreg. Skigard av ski utenfor. Reint og fint Frokosten var enkel og god
Fantastisk opphold her i Espedalen. Fikk overnatte på brudesuiten med gamle tømmervegger, idyllisk himmelseng og utsikt over vannet og flotte fjell. Utgangspunktet for våre sykkelturer på Peer Gyntvegen og Mjølkevegen viste seg å være veldig bra. Vertskapet sørget for god frokost før vi dro for å oppleve natur og kultur i skjønn forening. Rent og behagelig sted. Anbefales👍

En natt var greit
Rommet hadde 2 vaskeservanter. Den ene hadde ikke vann, den andre var tett.
Elbilladere kunne ikke brukes. Personalet visste ikke hvordan.

Hyggelig
Koselig sted og god service! Dyrevennlig rom var avgjørende for oss. Kommer gjerne tilbake.
Enkelt motell med greie rom for gjennomreise. Fin utsikt og område utenfor.
Resturant stenger kl 18 som man bør være litt obs på.
Veldig enkel med fungerende frokost. Få gjester og litt «øde».

Ok lav pris
Ett hyggelig eldre hotell, 1 dobbelt rom to personer til en tusenlapp så er dette bedre en forventet, hyggelig betjening, gode senger, ok rom med eget bad, så alt i alt ett bra opphold hadde vi her
Eit godt og koseleg rom med god seng og andre møbler. God frukost og romsleg spisesal. Hotellet ligg fint til i naturen. Fint å gå ein tur i hytteområddet på oversida av hotellet. Lett tilkomst til vatnet nedanfor hotellet.
Rotete uteområde med søppel og ødelagte presenninger. Overgrodd område med bygninger som manglet vedlikehold. Inne: overmøblert, slitt, baderom fra 1970(?). Ikke varmt vann.

Litt slitt bygning og uteområdet. Gammelt rom med sjarm. Badet kunne trengt en oppgradering. Dusj med forheng. Helt ypperlig service og nydelig mat- både middag og frokost. Gode senger.

Trivelig sted med et visst oppgraderingsbehov.
Lite rom, gode senger og behagelig sengetøy og håndklær, rolig. God mat, både frokost og middag, god stemning. Badet trenger en overhaling generelt og spesielt alt som var løst: doring, dolokk, dusjstang. Dusjforhenget var ekkelt og bør byttes.
