Went here on a deal for the weekend. Geilo is very easy to get to on the train from Oslo and only…read moretakes a few hours. 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.

We stayed here as a part of a BA holiday package and it was our first time skiing in Geilo. The…read morehotel has bags of old charm and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. We had a standard room and use of the cosy guest lounges with free coffee and tea on tap. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. We stayed half-Board and the food and selection was excellent. A free ski bus and shuttle service made staying here a breeze for getting to all the slopes. So good we are thinking of coming back next winter and also one summer.

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.

Also, the dinner, breakfast, and snacks available ( waffles, prawn sandwiches....), are pretty good considering the type of place. This a mountain hotel or lodge, so the rooms and comfort are as expected, common showers (only 2 on the floor as I can remember), however, my room had a sink, it was clean and comfortable. On a minus note, it can be a little noisy as you can hear everything going on at the floor. I stayed there one night on my way to do the Bessegen ridge, about a further 20 minutes beautiful drive. From bygdin you have many great hikes also though. I would definitely stay there again, maybe more than one night next time.
