Norefjell Ski & Spa

Hotellissa oli erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta, mutta siihen plussat sitten jäivätkin. Olimme reissussa 7 yötä tarkoituksena rentoutua kylpylän palveluissa. Erittäin kalliiseen - selkeästi kallein paikka koko reissulla - hintaan ei kuitenkaan päässyt edes allasosastolle. Vain huone ja aamiainen. Aamianen oli hyvää keskitasoa. Huone oli viihtyisä ja pienehkö eikä ilmanvaihto ollut riittävä. Toki pysäköinti kuului hintaan, mutta se oli pieni lohtu pettymyksen keskellä. Hotelli sijaitsi vajaat 20 km Noresundin keskustasta vuoristossa. Vuoristotiellä oli aluksi upeat vuonomaisemat, mutta ne hävisivät ja hotelli oli ylhäällä keskellä ei mitään lukuunottamatta muutamaa ulkoilureittiä. Lisäksi joutuu maksamaan tiepuomilla 50 nok, että edes pääsee asiakkaaksi hotelliin. Hotelli rakennuksena oli lisäksi hyvin sekavasti suunniteltu, joten ei siitäkään pisteitä heru. Ei voi hyvällä tahdollakaan suositella ainakaan talvikauden ulkopuolella.

Stayed here in beginning of February with my husband. The rooms are average, nothing special. Tried to upgrade to get a bathtub in the room, the suite was available on line but the front desk said it was full. The food is really bad for a ski/spa resort. They served first price juice at breakfast witch is the cheapest juice you can buy in Norway. Tables were not cleaned properly due to crowded restaurant and not enough staff. Would not recommend eating in the restaurant. We decided to have pizza in the evening because we had heard from other guests that the a la carte and buffet was really bad. The atmosphere in the pizza restaurant was poor. They could have done a little better to make it more cozy and inviting to spend Saturday evening there. Plus for nice skiing slopes ( cross country) had a really nice 4 hour trip. Sunday was spend at the spa witch was ok. Not crowded and relaxing. Minus for not heating the outside jacuzzi enough to relax while it was snowing outside. The spa is not included in the stay and is quite expensive.

This is a large sprawling hotel with lots of facilities. It has everything for ski in/ski out hotel, also enough for the non-skier/ski widow. The highlight is the spa on the 7th floor with stunning views over the distant mountains. The gym also has scenic views and good equipment. We had a 2 bedroom suite in the main hotel which had a luxurious amount of space. Very well equipped for self catering, if that is what you choose to do. We had half board package and the breakfasts and dinners were delicious. I would return here again, in summer or winter

The service at the hotel was ok, nothing special. The rooms were dirty, we had chunks of dust under the bed. The shower walls/door was also dirty. We had two single beds pushed together, so the beds were not comfortable. Poor sound isolation, we could hear people walk by our room during the night. Our room was like in the passing hallway, so we heard kids running and screaming, people coming back after a fluid night and people checking in/out. Spa area was quite crowded in the evening, but then we visited it in the afternoon, and it was so much better. Having that said, the spa department messed up our reservation, having us change the time and they didn't manage to put us on the couples room, as we had confirmed in the email. We were in to separate room with an open door between. The treatment itself was not even good, it was just below average. The buffets were really crowded. They were empty on coffee, napkins, cutleries at times, making us have to wait for that. However, good location for skiing. But not good value for the money! Too expensive, the spa, the hotel, the food.

Norefjell Ski & Spa brings the thoughts back to the classic Mountain hotels, though with modern comfort and style. We stayed 5 persons in a spacious self-service apartment. Cross-country tracks right outside the door and 100m to the elevators. We tried all the facilities, including the full scale climbing wall, the swimming pool and some excellent spa-treatment. They also have a Pizzeria which is popular among the kids. The surroundings are magnificent and the view from the top is beautiful! Great place for a family-holiday, with activities for everybody, both indoor and outdoor!
