Seljord Hotel - Unike Hoteller

Seljord is a nice little town in the mountains. The hotel has seen better days and in need of a lot of TLC.

The hotel is very old and has loads of history. It seems that conserving the history is more important than giving guests a good experience, and that is sad. The up-keep of the rooms is so-so. For a full price hotel there is expectations to what the guests expect. It is possible to conserv the history and accomodate guests. Bed was worn out and the matress was very thin. The chairs were probably from the 1800's and due for a restore job. The bathroom was "modernized" but could have been so much better by spending a bit more. The room was very hot. Window open and weather turning over the night made it OK though, but I can imagine it being hot and humid in a good summer night. We passed on the dinner and found a different place to eat. Nothing on the menu was tempting for any of us. The breakfast had very poor selection for gluten free diet. Come on, there is so much to choose from these days. Even frozen bakery you heat up on request. For regular diet the breakfast had the basics. Of the good stuff the hotel is very preserved and there is tons of history. If this is your fancy, this is the hotel for you. If you prefer plaster walls and clean design you might steer clear.

This is a quaint looking hotel in a small town but was very disappointing. The public areas were very nice, with a small restaurant & a nice library/study area in which to sit. The staff were friendly but disorganized & appeared rather frazzled. Our room was in the roof space of the building & was small. There was no closet/wardrobe in the room (maybe it was too small for one?) but neither were there any hooks or hangers on which to hang clothes & jackets etc, so we had to drape everything (we were on motorcycles So lots of outerwear) on the two chairs! The bathroom was basic & the shower so small we continually bumped elbows against the glass. The noise from the quiet roads as cars hit the raised school crossing was annoying during the night. The dinner was unexciting & unoriginal with a choice of three "a la carte" items (some were no longer available) or what looked like frozen pizzas. What was really weird though was this... we were a group of twelve & the bar was very understocked with the basic options...only 1 bottle of alcohol free beer, 1 bottle of chardonnay & not much beer! One would think when you have a large group booked in you'd make sure the bar was well-stocked with the basic options! Breakfast was also disappointing. The coffee was undrinkable & that is saying something, given the amount of coffee we drank at gas stations, the selection of food was small & not kept replenished & for the gluten-free option once again the only choice was crackers. There is GF bread available people! Finally the staff seemed overwhelmed & under prepared. A very disappointing experience.

Trivelig opphold, god service og godt vær,

Trivelig opphold og hyggelig personale

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The room I had was a bit outdated (80s bathroom), but bed was very comfy and room was clean. This is an old wood building, so you will hear your neighbors. Decent dinner in the restaurant and a very nice library bar. As at most hotels in Norway, the breakfast was solid and tasty

Behagelig opphold

Nice and pleasant
