This was a wonderful place to stay. It was so relaxing and quiet. The breakfast was fabulous as well. I got the single twin room and I thought it was perfect for those that want a little privacy. The view was beautiful from the window. I have nothing negative to say.

It's not even cheap -
If you have to spend a night in Gjøvik this is the cheapest alternative if you get a room with a shared bathroom for around 100 USD. If it's more expensive I would seriously avoid this place if possible. It's old, service is slow, the rooms are freezing cold and so badly lit that you can't even read in your room. It's far away from everything and so for the prize it's bad. But Norway is expensive.

Gjovik - nice way to start you visit to Norway
Stayed 1 night in the cabins (Hytte) - nice accomodations, quiet semi residential surroundings. - terrific breakfast. Fairly priced by Norwegian standards. Hardly abel to be called a hostel.

Helt ok overnatting. Skulle bare ha en overnatting pga håndballkampen. Var ikke helt forberedt på køyesenger. Men det gikk greit å komme opp. Renhold kom si komsa pga gammelt interiør. Veldig møkkete sofa. Summasumarum ok.

Rommene var slitne, gammeldags, men ganske rene. Det er trangt å være på familierom med ungdommer. Positivt med TV på rommet. Noen familierom er uten bad/toalett. Sengene var greie. Området rundt med bading og tennis er supert, og det er fint å gå bakken opp den lille slalombakken.
