This was a wonderful place to stay. It was so relaxing and quiet. The breakfast was fabulous as well. I got the single twin room and I thought it was perfect for those that want a little privacy. The view was beautiful from the window. I have nothing negative to say.

Hovdetun er et vandrehjem. Flott at de faktisk finnes enn så lenge. Vi skulle besøke venner og trengte bare en seng å sove i til en grei pris. Med dens beliggenhet håper jeg det fortsatt vil forbli et vandrehjem. Et utmerket tilbud til barnefamilier og idrettsglade.

Enkel standard, men veldig koselig. Veldig hyggelig betjening både ved innsjekk og utsjekk. Stor tv i hytta og komfortabel seng selv om det var køyeseng. Vi koste oss nede ved sjøen, stupetårnene og med tennis. Vi kommer tilbake 👍 Anbefaler også den indiske restauranten noen minutter unna ☺️

Fint beliggende hotell ; litt utenfor Gjøvik sentrum) Rett ved tennisanlegget, badevannet med stupetårn og slalombakken om vinteren. God frokost i trivelig spisesal, med fin utsikt gjennom store vinduer. Vi hadde 4 sengs rom (var 2 voksne og en gutt på 10 år) med eget bad heldigvis. Det er ellers dårlig med rom som har egne bad.
