Hotels Near Grøntjernet Dødisgrop in Jevnaker

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an incredibly disappointing experience. We booked a family room with a double bed and a single sofa bed, as described and shown in the pictures. After a tiring 7-hour drive, we were given a room with three single beds, which was completely different from what was advertised. Mistakes happen, so we politely went to the reception to address the issue. However, the staff was extremely unhelpful and dismissive, telling us that was all they had and essentially telling us to deal with it. Their attitude was unacceptable and left us feeling frustrated and unwelcome. On top of the poor service, the hotel itself is old and not clean. The level of ignorance from the staff was astonishing. Hotels are all about providing good service, and this place failed miserably. Honestly, this hotel is not even worth staying at for free. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a pleasant and hassle-free stay.

We hadn't planned to stay here, we had planned on a very early (0400) departure to drive from Geilo to Oslo Gardemoen at the end of a skiing trip. But the weather forecast was looking a bit unfavourable, so we thought it would be prudent to not risk the snow and ice, but break the back of the journey the night prior. Hønnefoss is a natural location; two hours plus from Geilo and within an hour of Gardemoen made it look like a good place to stop. Two things worth noting: firstly rates can be quite a bit cheaper than the Gardemoen airport hotel rates (plus airport hotels always seem to have more noise from fellow guests' late arrivals / early departures). Secondly, when checking ******* and ***********, both showed no availability. However, going to the Scandic website direct, we managed to book a family room, at short-notice, for NOK1895. Two adjacent rooms (ie, a family room), breakfast included, seemed to be pretty good value. Although we arrived just before 2200, the reception was manned and we received a warm welcome. Parking is a bit of a pain; we parked just over the road in front of the hotel, but it charges all through the night and is pretty expensive. Cheaper than a fine I guess, but still a bit alien to us Brits where parking charges tend not to be applied at night. Anyway, the reception area is bright and welcoming, with all you might expect to find with the Scandic brand. Plus a pool table and shuffleboard. The room was OK. Actually it was a bit tired, which does seem to be a bit if a Scandic Hønnefoss trend. But it was for one night, nine hours, so it did the job. Plus points: comfortable bed, nice lighting, warm, big TV, mini-fridge, and was quiet. Minus points: a bit small, other furniture and general decor a bit worn, and the mini-fridge had a glass door so we had an unwanted night light. We unplugged the mini fridge. Issue solved. Bathroom was fine, actually seemed to be modernised. Being a family room, had a mobile seat for the shower. Clean, lots of hot water and the standard Scandic toiletries. The smaller family room had its own sink unit. Breakfast was included, and is the standard Scandic breakfast, through perhaps not quite as 'rock-star' as those I've enjoyed at Scandic Gardemoen. Trondheim and Bodø (but it's smaller, and so I guess scaled appropriately). But is still very good, usual selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurt, cheese and meats, bread, pastries, hot dishes. And a waffle maker! So take away the slightly tired room furniture and decor, this was a great place to stop over and we would happily stay here again. There is also more to this hotel than we had the opportunity to discover on such a short stay.

Hotel a 4 stelle, posizionato sulla collina di Holmenkollen, vicino al trampolino olimpico. Non la posizione migliore se si vuole visitare il centro di Oslo. Nel parcheggio ci sono diverse colonnine a bassa potenza per caricare la macchina elettrica. Peccato che al nostro risveglio fossero tutte saltate e l'avessero caricata solamente per un 10%. Colazione a buffet abbondante e con qualche prodotto dolce in piu rispetto agli altri hotel visitati qui in Norvegia.

The location is on the top of the mountain, the transportation is inconvenient, the bus stop to the city center is about 13 minutes away, the train station needs taxi, Oslo nobles, in addition, a large part of the hotel is newly renovated, facilities and daily necessities are not yet available, the room does not even have a phone. The room is not small, the bedside table and table are small, not commensurate with the room area, the bathroom is large, but unfortunately the glass door of the shower room is not well designed, the water will still be immersed. The advantage is that the landscape is good, the breakfast is good, and the breakfast area is cute. The overall service is ordinary, not professional and procrastinating.

This hotel is very much NOT located in Oslo, it is on the outskirts. There is a train station nearby, so you can get the train from Airport to the railway station and then a taxi to the hotel (It is not walkable). The hotel staff are friendly and efficient, the restaurant offered good food and the breakfasts were excellent. The room was clean, had a desk and good Wi-Fi. Nearby is a large shopping mall that offered some additional dining options and a supermarket. Overall this is a solid option if you are in business in this district, it is not an option if you want to be in central Oslo.

The hotel is not in the city center, but there is a bus at the door, which is quite convenient. The price is right. There are lush plants in front and a bay in the back. It is suitable for leisure and free travel. The overall feeling is very good

Hotel Leangkollen is a fantastic hotel, situated in a lovely place with fantastic history and great outdoor areas. The hotel has what I/we experienced as Norway's best food for both lunch and dinner. We also had a conference at the hotel, and break food and coffee were always ready between the program. For those who have a conference in the same wing as the rooms, I still have to recommend going to the break section at the reception, which has an even better selection if you have forgotten breakfast, feel like for some fruit, popcorn, sweets or simply soft ice cream. The staff were welcoming with a smile and provided fantastic service througout our entire stay. Don't forget to give a little praise here and there to the individual if you are lucky enough to experience the and the same quality of staff we experencied from arrival to departure. All in all, delighted. The hotel can be highly recommended for conferences in a work context, but also for private overnight stays/travels.
