"Facilities: Good Hygiene: Good Service: Average Breakfast: Good Environment: Good"

"Definitely love this place. The room was clean and there was a private fridge. The shared toilet and common kitchen were clean enough. The facilities were good enough, although the location wasn't so strategic (far from amenities) and there was an extra fee for bed sheets, pillow covers, and towels. Friendly owners. We will stay there again if we visit Trysil in the future, and we recommend others to do the same."

"Here are the positives: - Trysil is a great place for family skiing. Plenty of easy slopes for children to learn. Also lessons are 90 minutes and instructors a lot friendlier than the ESF experience - There is now a newish airport 40 mins away which makes travelling here easy (although not many flights to Scandinavian Mountains airport) - Hotel rooms are a good size - Food is generally good at a very pleasant restaurant - Ski hire very easy and you can ski in. Here are the negatives: - There is really very little to do outside skiing. The town is a 20 minute bus ride - bus goes on the hour - and when you get there, activities in town and restaurants were fully booked; - This is not a cheap holiday - and having to pay extra to use the pool at Skistar is a bit aggravating. Especially when it’s fully booked except for one (single) space on day we wanted - There are two other restaurants in the hotel but similar problem with lack of capacity - the pizzeria was fully booked for the first 4 days of our stay. - So whoever has built this large complex hasn’t really allowed for enough space for restaurants or anything else - eg no activities, films or shows. There is one games room with a single ping pong table and a couple of arcade games - which is a bit poor given the enormous size of the hotel; - No tea or cake in the afternoon. You need to pay for that too. - Big problems with communal areas not being cleaned. Ski room didn’t have a bin and rubbish was just building up day by day The real issue with Trysil is that while it’s a promising option for people who don’t want to go to the Alps there isn’t enough infrastructure in terms of restaurants on the slopes, restaurants in town, cinemas etc - and when it comes to skiing, most lifts are buttons or t bars. Which is fine except it can lead to long queues. Overall an interesting contrast to skiing in France and Austria. But quite an austere experience. Generally a 3.5/5. Not sure I would recommend it or come again"

"Clean, good location, and reasonable price. It would be more attractive if the hotel could provide breakfast service."

"We booked two canoes for our family - four adults and two children. Reinier was polite and friendly on the phone when we arrived and gave us a clear briefing on canoeing for six. They offer a self-led three hour rental at your leisure, or you can meet at one of two times and be transported from downstream when you are finished. We chose the self-led rental, I recommend good physical fitness to paddle back as the current is strong in places. The equipment is in excellent condition and well-maintained. Life vests are supplied as part of the rental and we all in excellent condition. Overall a great experience from start to finish and highly recommended."
