Highland Lodge

A good hotel a couple of minutes walk from the town centre. Cafe and restaurant downstairs serving good food, not too pricey - for Norway!

Impersonal self-check in.

Very comfortable stop-over while travelling on the Bergen line from Bergen to Oslo. Room was well decorated and comfortable with a separate hallway for boots/coats and a spacious bathroom. Easy to find from the train station (about a 10 min walk max) Wasn't able to use the restaurant but the bakery in the morning was very welcome indeed. Nice balcony with a view was a bonus and excellent value for money compared to stays in the bigger cities. I was staying out of the ski-season so it was quiet but I would imagine it gets quite busy in peak times. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

Self check-in machine a little fiddly - and room doors open outwards onto the hallway which is common in Scandinavia but did cause a few hallway collisions. Room is a little small but for me alone it was fine - could imagine for a couple over a longer period it might get cramped.

Everything except it was too hot inside.

Too hot in the bar/restaurant and especially the rooms. Nobody to ask at reception about cleaning rooms etc. auto check in and check out felt like a hostel not a hotel. Poor look to not have a real person at a front desk. If I’d known this I’d have not booked there.

Location & pool , very friendly staff especially the breakfast girl who had lived & worked in Colorado

No breakfast include or swimming towels included building site view & no coffee machine in the room. No international stations on the tv & no Amazon or Netflix
