Reviews for Sogndal Vandrerhjem
Review 1：Complimentary breakfast was a bit average. Stale bread
Review 2：Great location. Spacious rooms. Clean and modern. Close to town and great views over lake. Easy parking close to unit.
Review 3：Very far away from bus station and cruise port, but there is a bus stop in front of the hostel. Cruise leaves early so we can't have breakfast. Had wrote email to them a month earlier, they said we can pack a breakfast pack by ourselves, and we also told the girl when we checked in, she said no problem just tell my college tomorrow. We thought we can pack during evening. But it turned out, we have to pack next day's breakfast during breakfast time. So we missed the chance and was very disappointed about how they deal with things.
Review 4：Bed linen was not included into the price, will need to pay 75 per person for the linen. Bed was comfort. Free WiFi. Room is big and clean. The area is quiet and with gorgeous view.
Review 5：Double bed was a sofa with very thin mattress, not very comfortable. We were unlucky to have a group dining at the same hour, using almost all available tables in the dining room.
Review 6：This is a quiet friendly place very well equipped with a kitchen, several washing machines and tumble driers. The room was spacious. The place is 1.3 km from main bus station (skysstasjon), which is a bit far with heavy suitcases... :) Fortunately, there is also a bus stop at a hundred meters where buses from airport and Glacier bus can stop! There are several shops at a walking distance (600m).
Review 7：Checkout is before 10 am, didn't have enough sleep.
Review 8：I liked the chance to wash and dry my hiking clothes for free. The room was plain yet had all we needed. The breakfast was generous.
Review 9：Check in was late in the day. Would have been nice if it was a little earlier.
Review 10：Much of the facility was fairly new and the rooms were large and clean. The amenities were great! Loved talking with other guests and the staff.
Review 11：It should be clearly notes that the bed linen is not included in the cost of the room, and the charge for bed linen and very very high (75 Krones per person!!) which adds a lot to the price of the room
Review 12：Location was great, very clean
Review 13：Need to bring or rent towels and bed sheet Shampoo or bath soap not provided
Review 14：staff is friendly location is convenient Some rooms have private bathrooms
Review 15：There were some problems that should be fixed: the light in the showers kept turning off, and one of our pillows was really bumpy and uncomfortable. Also, we didn't like having to pay an extra charge for the bed linen.
Review 16：The room was quite big for a hostel, the included breakfast was nice, and the common areas were modern, well kept, and very clean.
Review 17：The price was was right. The breakfast was great. In our two week, 7 country, whirlwind tour. Sogndal was one of our favorite stops and this hostel allowed us to enjoy the serenity of the area without having to be away from civilization. Great hikes from here too. Staff was very accommodating.
Review 18：not cheap 좀 돈에 비해서는 아깝긴해요 아무리 성수기라도.

Review 20：A bit far from the bus terminal, need 20 minutes walk
Review 21：Very good buffet breakfast. Supermarket is just 5 minutes walk. Bus stop is just in front of the hostel. Clean and comfortable

Review 26：The reception works only from 17.00 till 23.00. There was no possiblity of leaving our belongings in the hostel when we arrived in the morning. Also, the beakfast starts from 7.30 , which was too late for us.
Review 27：A good location, spacious clean rooms, a good breakfast
Review 28：The hotel as such was comfortable and a brilliant choice. Sogndal as such is a small town and has nothing much to offer. Perhaps a better choice would be have been flam or gudvangen for some easy ferry access to the Narrow Fiord.
Review 29：Friendly staff, beautiful place. Free bike hire:) :) We could use the kitchen and laundry facilities - they kept our luggage and let us use the common facilities till the evening on the day of checkout. Super clean rooms and common areas.
