Jomar 10/10

Norway 🇳🇴

Pros: Nice and quiet, even if it is in the middle of Gjøvik.

Queenie 9/10

Australia 🇦🇺

Awesome hostel.

Pros: The receptionist Silvia who checked us in was friendly and helpful. There's a laundry room within the hostel grounds. There's also a public swimming pool walking distance from the hostel. We booked the apartment but next time, we will try to stay in the private hostel rooms.

Cons: We do not particularly like the bunk beds in the apartment. However, we are aware that it's the bedding in the apartment we booked so all good.

Cons: A liked everything but if I had to say something is I wish the beds were already made, and not had to make them myself

Sunniva 8/10

Norway 🇳🇴

Pros: The breakfast was really nice and good value for the money. The make-your-own-egg station was a great addition.

Cons: The common shower flooded the bathroom and toilets when used, and didn't have anywhere to hang towels, clothes etc.

I wish I could stay more time and walk around the neighbourhood but I had to catch up with bus and

Pros: 1. serene atmosphere at the balcony 2. very clean environment 3. It is good idea to select preferences from the whole breakfast menu. 4. Easy to locate.
