By coincidence we were next to two Norwegians and they commented that they thought they must be the only Norwegians in the restaurant. But they agreed that the food and beer were truly wonderful. I tried the Viking platter with the beer tastings and each dish was so incredible. It's pricey but was so worth it and really fun. Thank you! Highly recommended (but be ready for wild prices and lots of tourists!).

Driving down from our cabin we were excited to get to Fagernes to treat ourselves to dining out. We were a tad bit late and actually got into a small car accident rushing to get there before closing, but luckily the owners saw how desperate and frazzled we were that they kept the restaurant open for us. Fantabulous customer service! I ordered the spare ribs, my father had the steak with Bearnaise and my mother ate the house special of fish and chips. Portions were more then generous and very large. My ribs were excellent, the meat melted off the bone and they even had a sprinkling of rock sea salt which just enhanced all the flavors. Next to the bar is homemade bread that you can snack on before the main course, we enjoyed the spelt bread and carrot bread. If we hadn't been so full we would have bought 11 loafs of bread. Free coffee and tea too! The owners are Danish and on the weekends they hold service in their restaurant. Although I'm not a church goer I value this quirky addition, warm fire, fun art work and the owners feel like family.

Having said that we were starving from a day exploring the fjords and a little buzzed from the hotel drinks. My husband and I split the deer burger and lamb dish. I meant to take pictures but we inhaled them. The lamb melted in my mouth and the burger was lean and fresh. Leaving one star out bc the burger sauce was kinda gross and we just used mayo and mustard instead...and the prices were ridiculous (which is not unusual for Norway but whatev).

We had a wonderful squash-like soup, with hints of ?cardamon, nice charcuterie board, and the caesar salad. Warm service, ample outdoor seating (and indoor seating as well). Tip: stash luggage in the self-service lockers just outside the visitor center; they are quite deep, and was able to get quite a large back to fit in one and two overhead carry-ons in another.

A short work from the train station and town centre, the hotel was very quiet with friendly staff. Board games in the bar and lounge area, but if you don't speak a bit of Norwegian you might struggle reading them. All staff speak perfect English however so no problems there. They have a room for skis but not a drying room, which I asked about, which was quite disappointing. Geilo is a ski town so I would have expected them to have one. Ended up drying in the room on the heater which was fine. Speaking of skiing, they provide information regarding the ski bus to the various alpine runs surrounding Geilo. Hotel room was clean, comfortable bed, but pillows quite thin and lack a bit of volume. Bathroom is clean and has everything you need. Rooms look newly redone and are modern. Wifi works well and is a good speed. If you get meals included it is buffet style and decent enough quality and variety. They have a sign in the restaurant that if you have allergies they can cater for you. All in all, a good stay and I would definitely come back again.

Geilo Hotel is a budget hotel located in the ski-town of Geilo. The lounge area is kind of cool,…read morethe service was good, and the rooms are relatively clean (although you can start to see the wear and tear of being a ski resort). For the included breakfast, you can either choose the breakfast buffet or a la carte items, the latter being recommended by the staff. While breakfast was okay, they tend to cook with a lot of grease so keep that in mind. Hey, I can't complain about a cheap included breakfast, especially in Norway where everything is ridiculously expensive. Do note that this is a tourist bus hotel meaning you may run into a bunch of tourists. When I went there were 3 buses of Chinese tourists staying there...which made the hotel quite loud. Anyway, the price is right and you'll be hard pressed to find a cheaper hotel in the area that isn't a dump. 3 stars.

The common areas remain nice and comfortable, but the guest rooms are in sad need of an update. Perhaps Dr. Holm's Hotel is more lively during the winter months, but I stayed here for a rainy summer day in July and the hotel felt like a ghost town (or scene from a horror movie). For as large as the complex is, I saw maybe 5 or 6 staff members total for the duration of my stay. The real redeeming feature of the hotel for me (besides the gorgeous drive through the glacier to get here) was wandering the hallways, getting lost in the various wings, and admiring the artwork. The walls are littered with beautiful lithographs and engravings, and the many bars and sitting rooms are decorated with taxidermy and large paintings. For the hotel alone, hold your breath, but I would have given it [a low] 3 stars based on the charm and feeling as if you've walked into the time of The Great Gatsby. +1 star for the modern high-end spa, which was a unexpected, and a very pleasant surprise. "Dr. Holm's Spa" is an Elemis Official Spa, same type of spa featured on many upscale cruise lines and makers of some of my favorite everyday products. The addition (which is open to hotel guests) includes a large indoor pool, showers, and steam room featuring Shiseido products. Sadly, spa appointments were full upon my arrival but I hope to return to this beautiful part of the world one day and take full advantage of all the spa has to offer.
