Reviews of Kongsvold Fjeldstue by Frich`s

Great, classic hotel on a stunning location. The hotel comprises a group of small woorden buildings with rooms spread across those buildings. The communal spaces are very tastefully decorated, especially the lounges and sitting rooms. The hotel room was small but very comfortable.

The hotel only opened for check-in at 3pm. This wasn't fully clear to us; if we had know this we would have taken more time for our walk. The weater was fine but I can imagine it's less nice to have to wait outside when it rains.

The best location you can get for walking the musk ox trail. The houses are beautiful with over 100 years history. The dinner is also fantastic. The three salon rooms are stunning!!!!

A bit crowded during breakfast time. Food was out when we arrive at seven the first night.

This historic landmark in Kongsvoll is the perfect starting or finishing point for a visit to the majestic Dovrefjell–Sunndalsfjella National Park. Steeped in tradition, it offers a cozy, rustic atmosphere that reflects its rich heritage. The main restaurant is well worth a visit, especially for traditional dishes like reindeer. For more budget-friendly options, the Kro serves up a pleasant selection. Don't miss the Kongsvoll Botanical Alpine Garden (Kongsvoll Botaniske Fjellhage), located just next door, it's a hidden gem well worth exploring.

While the staff is very polite and their command of English is certainly helpful for international guests, I was surprised to find that some of them did not speak Norwegian. As a sign of respect for the country and its local visitors, especially considering I personally witnessed three Norwegian-speaking guests leave due to communication issues, I believe it is important that staff are also able to communicate in Norwegian. I hope they are studying and will soon be able to offer service in Norwegian as well.

Nice place in the nature, more meant for pilgrims but anyone is welcome.

Wifi coverage didn't reach our cabin so had to work outside instead.

It’s a beautiful place along the pilgrimage trail with fantastic views all around.

-There’s a few things to be aware of - there’s no path from the train station so you have to walk on the actual main road for a short time which is a bit frightening. -rather than serving pilgrimage style hearty filling food at a reasonable price, the restaurant has been taken over by a chain called Fritz who serve very expensive gourmet food that doesn’t fill your stomach at all after a day walking. There is no alternative food to buy so it’s really not fair or suitable for walkers, especially young ones and those on a tight budget and doesn’t seem to fit the ethos of the place as a pilgrims stop!

Such a great place to stay to see musk ox ! We saw 10 on a half day hike.

No reception open to leave bags out of hours.

Beautiful location and property and friendly helpful staff. Delicious food

The room had cozy mountain cottage vibes. Location was a very good base for hikes into the Dovrefjell area (such as musk ox trail). We experienced an issue in our room, but this was swiftly fixed by the staff by giving us a new room. Staff was helpful in meeting our wishes.

Very good breakfast and evening meal - food in general of a high standard. This hotel is in a fairly remote location though easily accessible via a good road it stands alone in glorious countryside. 10 minutes walk from the railway station, an excellent location for walkers and obviously heated up for this activity. We went for the walking and loved it!

Old fashioned

The staff were wonderful and extremely helpful. They were always so lovely and helpful and the staff on duty helped us contact our bank when are phones were not working which would have caused us a lot of trouble if we had not been able to do that. We were extremely grateful for the assistance of the manager on duty that day.

The hotel restaurant only served a very expensive 3 course meal with no cheaper options available and it was a 20-30 min drive to the nearest restaurant

Was not impressed

Tooo expensive

Very nice staff, nice room and beautiful surrounding! And the breakfast buffet was great.

Marcel was a great guy, very friendly, natural and helpful. The pictures on booking.com don't do justice to the charming rooms and stunning location. Great for train travellers.
