“Kleivstua Hotell Norway Magical Experience”
+A Magical Stay at Kleivstua Hotell Kleivstua Hotell is enchanting even on foggy mornings. If you don't have a car you can take a bus from Oslo and get off at the nearest stop, Sundvollen. As avid hikers, we chose to tackle the steep yet stunning ascent to Kleivstua. Along the trail you'll find informative signs detailing the area's history. Be sure to carry water especially during the warmer months. The hike is a short distance of about 2.8 km and absolutely breathtaking. On our way up we enjoyed views of Tyrifjorden, the lake, and its surroundings. Upon reaching the top of this hill we arrived at Kleivstua Hotell, a tranquil retreat featuring a beautiful main building adorned with glass windows that showcase the majestic mountains. The interior is steeped in history, although we weren't familiar with it, but became more so after learning about it, and it also exudes elegance, with tasteful table settings and a beautifully decorated bar. Our room was incredibly peaceful, spacious, and cozy next to a fireplace, complete with available firewood. We enjoyed a fire each night, and the bedroom is separate from the Den, ensuring it stays cool for a comfortable night's sleep. The bathroom

“Excellent view and very good foo”
+Excellent view and very good food with friendly staff and a historical site. Worth a visit! If you’re looking to spend the night or just have a nice meal in spectacular surroundings this is the place for you. The restaurant is associated with a hotel but there are also camping grounds nearby with the same spectacular view.
“Historisk sus over Kleivstua”
+Kleivstua er absolutt å anbefale. Praktfull beliggenhet, historiske omgivelser og mange flotte turmuligheter. Praktfulle bygninger og en flott stab.

“Magic 🪄”
+Magic. This word describes this place best. Every wish you could have: not even thought it already came true. It just brings one surprise after the next. The surrounding woods are beautiful and rough. And Andi ist just the most guest oriented and friendly person to host your stay. Perfect stay for us. Nothing to wish for. 10/10

“Hotel i særklasse / a special vintage hotel”
+Et meget hyggelig hotel med masser av sjel ovenfor Sundvollen (den riktig gamle veien over til Oslo). Fantastisk utsikt fra hotellet. Meget bra servering, maten (lam og kål som hovedrett) som ble servert til middag var usedvanlig smakfullt med gode porsjoner og flott anrettet. Gode rom. Møterom med gode fasiliteter, hvor alt virket som det skulle. Lokasjon / hotel leverte godt over forventning og anbefales. This is a very cost hotel on top of the hils, up from Sundvollen. This is an old hotel on the vintage road to Oslo. There is a fantastic view from the top. I was seriously impressed by the friendly staff, the exceptional food with local touch. We had lamb and cabbage as super tasty main dish. The rooms was clean an nice. Overall a cool mix of new and old buildings. The meeting rom and conference facilities were in good condition and worked well. Overall this exceeded expectations and is a short drive from Oslo (45 min).

“Nice staff, but bad room”
+Old worn out rooms and furniture, dusty radiators, narrow stairs and not easy access to rooms. The lamps are old and shaky (the ones in the bathroom are loose and seem like a fire hazard), use inefficient warm light bulbs (halogen), where they could have switched to LED which would be cheaper (electricity wise) and give a better light. Dimmable lighting would also be good. The night lamps are way too bright, and the ceiling lamp is way too weak. These are things it’s easy to do something about, if the hotel wishes to make a better impression. The floor and furniture is worn out and squeaky and the radiator is filled with dust. (See attached picture) There are no televisions or other screens in the room. The bathroom is very small, yet OK. The mirror is little too. The rugs (which are charming yet old and worn out to go with the style) on the shiny wooden floor are falling hazards. It is possible for the hotel wonders to buy some strips from ikea to place under the rugs. The staff, which mostly are Danes speaking Danish, are very nice and service minded. The staff deserves five stars! When I was little going to a hotel was always better than being at home. It was a treat. Modern, ne

“Excellent staying - unusual business venue”
+We hosted a company board meeting at the hotel. The staff was helpful and the meeting room was well efficient. Rooms are spartan (most probably too much for a board meeting) but nice and stylish. The area around the hotel is signed by hiking trails and a couple of lakes.
