Amazing
Pros:

I booked 2 extra nights because I liked the place so much, and if I could I would have stayed even longer. It is pretty close to some amazing places like: Geiranger, Jostedals Glacier, Reinheimer National park, scenic route 258, scenic route 55, and so much more. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was really good. The owners are super nice.

Pros:

We stayed in this hotel to be in the Gerainger fjord area (35 minute drive away). The hotel is dated and actually has an alpine lodge retro feel (lots of wood, pine and stuffed animal heads). But that’s ok unless you want a 21st century 4/5 star modern hotel. We had a family room that was under the dining room and were woken at 7am every morning by chairs being dragged across the floor above! Horrendous noise. Breakfast was ok but basic. You either eat in Gerainger or Stryn for dinner/late lunch or you have to eat at the hotel evening buffet. We didn’t eat there but I’m sure it would be basic enough. The shuffleboard in the games room didn’t have the required granules on it and the pool cues were broken so that was a pointless room. Our stay was made even worse by having some of my wife’s jewellery stolen from our room. To be fair, the manager was very apologetic and facilitated the police report. But even if that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you wake at 7 every morning and intend to hike all day and don’t care for a comfortable modern hotel. It was not worth the money. Great fjord, great scenery - not a great hotel. It trades on its location.

Breathtaking Views , We’ll Be Back!
Pros:

Hello, Thank you for a lovely stay at Hotel Videseter.

The location is absolutely magical, with stunning views and breathtaking nature all around. While the standard of the hotel is quite simple, the charm of the place and its unique setting made our stay very special. We would definitely like to return in the future.

Enkelt og greit - middagen er overpriset
Pros:

Lokasjon nydelig i fjellet. Enkelt og greit, ser tiltak gjort for fornying. Hovedsakelig midt på treet - usikker på om verdt prisen. Største er at middagsbuffeten koster 520 kroner per pers og inkluderer ikke et glass brus engang. Maten tilsvarer heller ikke prisen, halvkokt pasta og kald ris. Det er 40 min til Stryn hvis man vil ha noe annet restaurant-mat så spis før man kommer og spar mange kroner.

Pros:

Grundsätzlich war das Hotel für eine Nacht in Ordnung. Das Zimmer war jedoch sehr in die Jahre gekommen - insbesondere das Badezimmer würde eine Renovierung vertragen.
Das Frühstücksbuffet bot viel Auswahl, jedoch war die Qualität verbesserungswürdig. Speisesaal mit Kantinenflair.
Die Lage ist toll und der Ausblick aus dem Zimmer sehr schön. Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus.

Pros:

Ser att många klagat på standarden på Videseter. Jag tycker att det framgår av bilderna vad man kan förvänta sig så vi blev inte besvikna. Snarare tyckte vi att det var fräschare än vad vi trott. Rummet hade otrolig utsikt och var faktiskt riktigt svalt trots att solen låg på och verkligen gassade - men med ett betonghus blir det inte olidligt varmt. Vi gillade sängkläderna och kuddarna och sov gott alla fyra.
Frukosten var ok, inte mer.
Men ändå. Vi är jättenöjda med vår natt.
Inget att klaga på!
(Möjligtvis att det inte fanns sand så att inte inte kunde köra shuffleboard.)

Underbar utsikt och miljö, men slitet hotell.
Pros:

Medioker Hotellupplevelse, receptionen hade inte öppet 24/7 utan stängde vid midnatt om man inte innan kommit överens om detta.


Positivt
Hundvänligt, kostade 300NOK extra.
Underbar utsikt från rummet, obeskrivligt vackert.
Bra städade rum
Gott om parkering
Avskilt från det mesta, blir inte störd av annat.
Mysig och äldre stil i lobbyn. Gott om aktiviteter såsom spel och fina delar att umgås på.

Negativt
Dyrt
Hävdar att det finns elbilladdning, men när man kommer fram är alla ur funktion. Finns ingen laddning i direkt närhet, så se till att ladda upp innan.
Finns inga lättillgängliga platser i närjeten, dvs inga affärer eller restauranger. Enda restauranger som finns är hotellets, där man erbjuder en medioker buffée för 520NOK/person?!?!?! Hutlöst dyrt.
Hotellets faciliteter och rum är inte särskilt moderna, det mesta är slitet.
