Consider me a loyal fan—I'm coming back!
Pros:

I just had the best stay at Kleivstua in Sundvollen! It’s a magical spot that feels so far away but is only an hour from Oslo—perfect for an authentic Norwegian getaway.

The moment I arrived, I felt the history. My room was located in a charming red building that had once been a mountain farm, and it was extremely cozy and clean. The staff were fantastic—friendly yet professional, which made everything feel welcoming. And there are so many rooms to explore in the main building!

I missed dinner, but I heard the food was great! Breakfast was delicious, especially making my own Norwegian waffle. The views were stunning, and I loved hiking, especially at King’s View (Kongens Utsikt). Honestly, one night isn’t enough; a couple of days is ideal. I’ve already decided I’m going back!

Cons:

I do think the 10 AM check-out is a bit too early, given the number of things to enjoy. An 11 AM or 12 PM check-out would be ideal, allowing guests to enjoy a stress-free breakfast and squeeze in a morning walk or hike before leaving. And for the winter enthusiasts, I'm told the cross-country skiing trails are endless, suitable for all ages and skill levels.

Could have been perfect
Pros:

The hotel compound is simply beautiful. From the cabins to the pond, everything looks amazing. And those views! Just great. The area is also very quiet and offers nice walks in the woods. The room, although quite small, had lots of character and was decorated appropriately. The breakfast was very good.

Cons:

We had to wait a very long time at check-in due to the employee being on the phone. At no point did they even acknowledge us, let alone call someone else to check us in. The room wasn’t cleaned all that well (lots of hair and other debris on the floor). To access the hotel, you have to use a local toll road (40kr. each use), which wasn’t mentioned during booking and really adds up if you make several trips down the mountain.

Highly recommended to stay at!
Pros:

We were accomodated in the separate house with 5 rooms and a shared lounge. We were lucky to stay there alone, no other guests. The room was spacious enough, very cosy and clean. Breakfast was rich and fresh. Especially would like to mention dinner. The quisine was delicious, Chef is a real master! Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank you for the perfect stay)
