Geilo Hotel

our room was very big, well stuffed with great views, the breakfast was nice and the staff of the hotel was very friendly and helpfull. We had a small problem with the flow of the sink - it was solved immediately. We had a very nice stay and the loved the bar with the nice fireplass

This hotel was a total miss. We ordered first caurses and main caurses and got nothing. We got no food at all what an experiece. The room was b ad to come to even if it was on thev first floor. We got help from other travelers but no help from the staff. The peaple on the hoel was terrible.

Another very relaxing and enjoyable stay in this superb hotel. Great room on the top floor looking across to Vestlia (thankyou Geir!); very filling breakfasts; and super staff - all very cheerful, friendly and helpful. Looking forward to returning next winter!

Spent new years at Geilo hotel and had a great time. Comfortable rooms, great views of the mountain-side, and the ski lift is just a few minutes walk away! Breakfast is fantastic, and I really appreciated that the dining room was nice and warm. Will come back for Norwegian waffles for breakfast, they made my day.

Reception staff were very welcoming and helpful, and happy to see us, noting that it was very quiet and only a handful of rooms were occupied in the first few days of our stay. The room on the 3rd floor was spacious and very pleasant. Two comfortable chairs to relax in, good work table, plenty of room for storage, and a very comfortable king bed, with soft pillows. The large windows offered a great view of the Vestlia ski area and the southern mountains beyond. But you will hear baby elephants (kids and adults alike) moving around in the floors above and below, and in the corridors - it’s family-friendly, so you have to expect this in holiday periods. Between-floor and between-room insulation is not great. Pretend that you’re staying in a youth hostel and you’ll be fine. It does generally go quiet after about 11pm, and remains so until baby elephant waking time. Bedside tables and individual light fittings (with power outlets) excellent. Wifi reliable and fast, TV adequate. General lighting per any Norwegian hotel - i.e. a little on the dark side. Nonetheless, a table lamp and a lamp stand adds just enough brightness. A full-length mirror on one of the cupboards can be pivoted for viewing. The bathroom was a generous size, clean, and modern, with good lighting, and excellent water pressure and heat in the shower, and even a plug for the sink (rare in our travels!), but no shampoo. The bathroom floor was not heated, surprisingly for Norway. The oddest thing was the non-usable hair dryer. Perhaps one day an electrician will wire it up so it can be used! No in-room safe, tea or coffee facilities - so it’s a walk down the steps to the dining area to discover the hot water urn and tea bags, instant coffee, and creamer sachets. Or pay for a hot chocolate. Or buy a drink at the bar. The door keys are the credit card variety, with the room number printed on the card (but no hotel information, so no issue about security if mislaid). Elsewhere in the hotel, plenty of public areas to relax in, a good sized ski storage area adjacent to the entrance, and a generally warm and cozy feel added to the more traditional mountain lodge style of family-run hotel. It’s not your average chain hotel. Food and dining was a very mixed bag. The included breakfast was surprisingly thin pickings. Good for regular Norwegian light breakfasts perhaps, but a poor choice of breads which were not always freshly baked. No croissants or other varieties of baked goods made it seem rather sparse in offerings. A lot of the platters looked tired: they appear to have been set out for a number of days. The cooked breakfast was nothing to write home about - no bacon on its own must upset a lot of Norwegians! Other hotels we’ve stayed in have offered fresher food and greater variety: smoothies, porridge, chocolate croissants, more cooked options. The service was a little haphazard, too: food not replenished without asking, plates and cutlery being removed too quickly, and no in

This hotel has the potential to be much better than it is. Worst check in experience of my travels, ever. To say the young lady that checked me in was rude would be an understatement. Dinner restaurant at hotel closed at 7pm, this is the time most restaurants in Norway open. It was very hard to find anyplace opened for dinner as the town was closed up. Room: No kettle for coffee or tea. No luggage rack. Room STUNK of perfume/fragrance. Very poor sleep because there was a high pitch noise from building next door. I had requested a quiet room, I should have been given a room on the opposite side of the construction due to my request. Cheap plastic throw away cup in bathroom for water. No shelf in shower. No floor towel. No tissue box. 3 hangers: 1 plastic,1 wooden, 1 falling apart. Breakfast: Nice view Opens rather late during the week, 08:00. Tiny water glasses. Tiny coffee cups. Processed poor quality meats/pate. They cut the fruit paper thin. Both hard and soft eggs clearly labeled. They had a large pan of an egg scramble with onions and tomatoes that was tasty. There was a plate of sunny side eggs…each had a small piece of crispy bacon on top of them, would have been nice if there was actually bacon for the rest of the guests. Lactose free yogurt and gluten free granola were options. Security issue: Room key has the name of the hotel on it and the number of your room.
