Very cool place and a...

Liked: The staff were very helpful. The young lady at the receptionist changed my room when I asked for a change in the twin beds pushed together. She immediately gave us a room and that was lovely.

Fantastic hotel with breathtaking views...

Liked: Breathtakingly beautiful view of the Tyrifjord from our room. We were very glad to have paid extra for a lake view with a balcony - that made our stay extra special, and I was able to get some incredible photos of the Tyrifjord at sunset.The room was lovely. Generously sized, with a fantastic bathroom, and a fridge. Very comfortable bed, with good space either side of the bed, and bedside tables with lamps.The staff were really helpful. Online ordering worked great - we ordered a pizza, a burger, and some beers, and got a text to say our order was ready to collect from reception. Prices for food and drinks at the hotel were reasonable for Norway. The coffee was excellent too.Vikersund is the closest train station to the Krøderbanen heritage railway, which we came to visit for the twilight train and a steam gala. The Krøderbanen is totally worth a visit for heritage railway enthusiasts - it's the longest standard gauge heritage railway in Norway, and the location is beautiful with wonderful scenery - and some gorgeous locomotives and rolling stock.
Disliked: Not a criticism of the hotel itself (which was fantastic), but there is a severe lack of buses in Vikersund at the weekend. We were visiting the Krøderbanen so had to pay for taxis to and from Krøderen (about 25km away from Vikersund) for the twilight train, and also to get to Krøderen for the gala the following morning. So we spent almost as much on taxis to and from Krøderen as we did for two nights at the hotel (excluding food and drinks).It's about half an hour's walk from Vikersund station to the hotel, which is OK if the weather is good, but not so nice if it's raining.
