Særdeles hyggelig betjening. Enkel, men velsmakende og tilstrekkelig frokost. TV mangler på alle rom, unntatt resepsjon. Ikke greit. Gammelt og slitt hotell, men meget suksessfullt restaurert. Fint rom, tiltalende lobby og frokost sal. Enkel parkering. Alt i alt godt fornøyd. 8 av 10 poeng tenker jeg. Jeg anbefaler hotellet. Value for money.

Fin beliggenhet, greit oppusset, middelmådig mat som ikke var verdt pengene, spesielt middagen. Internett og tv fungerte ikke på rommet, ikke hjelp å få. Vi ble skuffet.

Flotte bilder, men de lyger.

Veldig hyggelig dame som satt i skranken, resten var ikke noe og skryte av. Fikk rom nederst i kjelleren hvor flere takplater manglet. Rommet var mye styggere enn på bildene og badet var ekkelt å bruke, rommet var også skittent når vi kom. Her lyger bildene veldig, spise hallen og resepsjonen var veldig flott.

Dårlig renhold

Veldig dårlig renhold. Dynen var ekstremt flekkete og da vi åpnet skapet på badet kom det løpende en svær edderkopp. Tydelig at ingen har gått gjennom rommet før vi kom.

Alt for dyrt, fraværende service og skuffende dårlig frokost; norskt fjellhotell med halvstekt ferdigbrød og ferdigskårede osteskiver og kjøttskiver med plast mellom hvert lag. Det holder ikke! Forventer hjemmebakt brød og lokale produkter med kvalitet av et slikt hotell, og til den prisen. Velger ikke skinnarbu igjen.

Fantastisk utsikt midt i fjellheimen. Flotte turløyper. Nydelig middag og stor frokost buffe der det var mye å velge i. Hyggelig betjening. Stort rom, gratis kaffe og te i lobbyen. Hyggelig sted som jeg gjerne kommer tilbake til. Gratis parkering på utsiden.

Badet var noe gammelt og lukt. Man kunne se flekker i tak av tidligere lekkasje av fukt/vann i tak, både på bad og i Resturant. Men ellers veldig fint hotell og koselig, og området rundt er så vakkert.

ette kan gjøres bedre !

Glimrende beliggenhet, men kjølig over alt innvendig (få gjester til å være høstferie gjorde vel sitt til at det ikke ble varmet opp over alt.) Frokosten var det ikke noe å utsette på, men middagen bar preg av å være laget på forhånd, og så varmet opp til hver gjest. Smaken var som forventet , men hadde satt pris på varm mat etter en kjølig og vindfull tur i det flotte terrenget, og ikke halvvarm mat. Prisen var i det øvre skiktet, så man bør kunne forvente bedre !

Tips til hotellet

Det var greit nok. De i resepsjonen bør skjønne/forstå norsk. De bør også ha noe "kleskode". I restauranten så vi de hadde "gensere" med Skinnarbu. De var fine. Det kom et kraftig regnskyll like etter vi kom, da kom det mye vann igjennom taket i baren. Jeg gikk inn og sa i fra, og fikk til svar "kun" JA. Skulle også vært et sted for barn. Vi hadde med et barnebarn og det var flere andre barn der også, Ingen steder hvor barna kunne være/leke. Det bør også vært opplyst på deres nettsider at bassenget ikke er inntakt. Vi var der for veldig mange år siden, var da fornøy, og ønsket nå å ta en tur igjen som var litt nedtur.
