Hotel's Favorite
A hotel with traditions, servise and strong customer focus. Outside the center of Geilo so you avoid noice from traffic or night clubs, located close to Hafsdalen downhill area, and cross country paths to Prestholt. This is probably the best hotel you can join in Geilo. The service at the reception was outstanding, a special commend to CBD, she went the extra mile to keep guests satisfied. Also Laura in the restaurant was of the same kind, focus on guests, quick and responsive, always with a kind smile even though the children made paper planes of the napkins. We got extra food for the home travel at the service of the hotel. I will express my thankfulness to the whole establishment for making the Easter stay a success.

Family ski holiday, 2 adults and 2 young adults. 2 rooms for a week. The hotel is very welcoming and full of history. Large lobby and lounges. Interesting art and antiques all around the hotel. The bedrooms (at least the ones we had) were quite small. The beds were fine but felt somewhat soft and small for some of our party. Rooms otherwise comfortable and clean.
The food was great. One in our party is vegan, and they went out of their way to accommodate him. Most evenings they serve a huge buffet for dinner but our vegan had lovely food made just for him. Two evenings a week they have a la carte, but again they were flexible if something was not to everyone’s taste. Breakfast was the same grand affair, more food and variety than we knew what to do with.
The hotel has a nice pool and sauna, children’s play area and table tennis. In the summer they have outdoor tennis courts.
There is a shuttle bus taking people to the ski lifts in the morning and afternoon. It’s not even 5 minutes to the nearest lift. Once on the lift one can get to all other lifts and pistes on that side of the valley. We stayed there pretty much all week as this is the sunny side. There is a shuttle every ten minutes taking people back and forth to the other side for skiing if desired.
We skied back to the hotel at the end of the day. A track takes one down to the side of the hotel and near the ski room.
It wasn’t entirely clear where to go so we got a bit muddled on the first day but it was easy as anything once we sussed it.
Sofie’s cafe, bar and small deli is attached to the hotel and can be accessed either from the lobby or outside. They have great food if one wants something to eat outside the hotel’s mealtimes, and also great coffee.
The staff was genuinely super nice all around, but we must mention our friendly Portuguese waiter Gill in the restaurant. Service with a smile and a skip in his step and and funny &friendly banter 😊

Bardola hotel was a good place to stay for two nights on our Scandinavian odyssey adventure. Second to last stop, Geilo!
The hotel check in staff were very friendly, and we had booked a family cabin, number 615. The cabin was spacious for the four of us, although it would have been a squeeze for the ten people it was advertised for.
The layout consisted of a downstairs floor with a lounge and kitchen, plus two Small bathrooms, one with a shower, and two bedrooms with two beds in each.
The top floor was a surprise, as it had a very low ceiling. For me, this wasn’t exactly an issue, although it wasn’t suitable for my parents to come up.
The cabin was nice and cosy, although there were a few minor issues that need to be sorted out. These issues were the ceiling height on the top floor as it wasn’t really suitable for adults or taller people. Another issue was that when we needed some change for the washing machines to put in a wash load they couldn’t offer any change. The last problem was that was the description of the cabin made It seem a little more spacious than it actually turned out to be and it was advertised for 10 people, again, it was spacious for the four of us, but for 10 people, it would be a squeeze.
And on a good note, the hotel had a lot of really good bonuses such as a really amazing Pool which was large and had facilities as well such as a sauna and there is a gym. If you were in the hotel you get these for free, but if you’re in the cabin, you have to pay for this.
The restaurant in the hotel was a great option for when we were staying in the cabin. We came here two nights in a row and the food was delicious. The portions for children were perfect and the spaghetti Bolognese and burger were delicious.
Highly recommended, good stay.
In the words of my younger brother, it was “
Bro!” ( very good! )

On our stay 4th of August they gave us a room, number 202 to be precise, with a horrible window view to a white greyish wall and a dirty black floor (see the photos) and also a tiny sewerage smelly bathroom, totally unbecoming of a 4 star hotel. At the reception we requested a room change that they denied us, even though there were other free rooms in the hotel, saying that they gave us what we had paid for. I specified that we had booked the stay through a travel agent (Logitravel), and that of course we expected a room according to the category of 4 star hotel and that no image of the type of room such as the 202 appeared on the hotel website, (adjoining rooms 201 and 203 also enjoy the same horrible view), otherwise we would have requested another room or hotel for our stay in Geilo. To this argument we got no sastisfactory answer. To be fair the hotel has a nice restaurant with very good service and decent food and the overall interior design is very nice and the beds and linen were good.

We stayed a night in one of the small Cabins (Torely) annexed to the hotel. Inside it was charming, with a wood stove in the corner. The staff had kindly put a bottle of sparkling wine out for us as we were staying for a special occasion.
The inside is a little dated, but perfectly functional. The kitchen was enough for us to cook a meal and make coffee. There's WiFi (no more than 2mb and patchy) and a TV (not a smart one).
The main criticism is the bed; two small rickety beds pushed together that cannot be considered comfortable, and pancake-flat pillows. The thin curtains that didn't completely cover the windows also hindered a good night's sleep given we were staying in July and it stays light nearly all night. I imagine that isn't an issue in winter.
Our only interactions with the staff were at check in and check out but at both times they were very friendly and helpful.

The hotel feels very authentic and not part of a big chain.
The facilities for children are great. There’s a play area with soft play, air hockey, table football and table tennis. It’s right by the restaurant so kids can play before or after dinner.
The pool is a good size and lovely and warm after a days skiing.
We stayed over New Year so they had a good entertainment planned for the kids.
All of the staff were very friendly and keen to help.

Bardøla - the fairytale that disappeared
Since 1998 I have visited this wonderful hotel at regular intervals.
The food has been fantastic and the staff welcoming and cheerful.
Christmas has been magical for young and old.
I have met people from USA, who have traveled errands to celebrate the holiday there, because the place has created a unique atmosphere. Now, unfortunately, it's over. The hotel has been rebuilt and the staff group is new. The cafe is now part of the reception and the food is average ok.
Gone is the warmth and genuine romantic hotel. After more than 20 years, we now have to find a new place to gather the extended family and business associates.

The hotel did not care to reply to my enquiries which I made before my arrival. Simple information requests from my side - very easy to handle. Shows their bad attitude. Luckily there was an opening in another hotel, so I cancelled the reservation.

We stayed in a comfort apartment with 2 bedrooms. The apartment was nice decorated, it is soundproof between the apartments. Comfortable beds. Access to pool. You check in and out on a slot machine. The area is quiet, short distance to the city center.

not far! I’d say 5-10 minute walk to across country skiing.
there is a ski bus that takes you from the front of the hotel to the resort.
