För friskusar

LÄgbudgetstÀlle för friskusar. Otroligt obekvÀma översÀngar - ej för vuxna. Otroligt dyrt med middag och aktiviteter som rafting och badtunna. Stort kök om man vill göra egen mat.

Mysigt hostel med hög standard som rekommenderas!

Fantastiskt! Fint belÀgen i en dal pÄ promenadavstÄnd frÄn Àlven. Lugnt stÀlle. Möjlighet till familjerafting (forsrÀnning). Standard, storlek och skick pÄ rummet övertrÀffade vÄra förvÀntningar. Vi hade ett rum med eget badrum. I rummet fanns ett litet pentry med 2 spisplattor, kylskÄp och diskho. Lakan, badlakan, stÀdning och frukost ingick i priset. Gratis parkering precis utanför stugan. Ingen tv eller mikrovÄgsugn pÄ rummet.

Helt supert

Kjempe god service. God mat, fin avstand til mye aktiviteter. Rom var helt ok. Pluss at det var dyrevennlig. Det eneste som var negativt var vanntrykket og manglende mulighet til Ă„ styre temp i dusjen, men det gikk greit hvis du sto lenge nok.

An idyllic hostel in the hills

The hostel is in a beautiful area with plenty of opportunity for outside activities such as walking and there is water rafting available on site. The facilities are ideal for a quiet break with the opportunity to either use the self catering facilities or the limited hotel menu and bar. There is a good breakfast provided and I would definitely return when I am next in the area.
