Peer Gynt Hotel & Spiseri

Nord-Fron

We didn’t stay at the hotel but had lunch. Lunch was excellent with a good spread of food. As a visitor to Norway, I can say the lunch was cooked with a genuine local flavor and not catered to tourist taste. I really liked it. The view was fantastic and the service was excellent!

Excellent Lunch

A good hotel which we used a stop over towards Oslo. Quite a recent hotel, clean and good. Breakfast was very good and we also had nice dinner at the restaurant. We appreciated the place and would recommend it.

Good Hotel to stay the night

A highway hotel at the foot of the mountain, with the village located about two kilometers (about 30 minutes) away.To enter the rooms you need the room card.The breakfast and dinner were buffet, although it seemed somewhat scarce in terms of variety.In the room we were three people, and one of the beds was small, the feet getting out of the bed.The comfort of the beds, except for this small one, was very good.The bathroom was very spacious, and the shower was comfortable to shower.The hotel staff with very good care.

Well done to you.

If you are looking for a hotel in a scenic spot this is not for you! But if you need a comfortable, friendly hotel to stay overnight in between A & B then this is perfect!

On arrival my thought was "Oh great, we are staying in a crappy hotel at a truck stop/gas station!" That being said I was very impressed! The room was comfortable & modern, had a large bathroom with a great shower, comfy beds & the staff were wonderful. We had a view of the parking lot but others in our group had a view of the countryside. The rooms are in a separate building to the restaurant but were away from the gas station & were quiet. 
In the main building is a cafeteria-like restaurant, but the food that was cooked to order was simple (burgers etc) but tasty & they even provided me with a GF burger bun. There was a decent bar, and although the eating area was a bit like a motorway service area & not intimate, there is a comfortable lounge with tv, & tables & chairs outside next a quiet green space.  
Breakfast was great & I would say probably one of the most generous on our trip around Norway, with gluten-free bread option for our group members with allergies. I would definitely stop overnight here again. It had everything a group of tired, damp bikers needed!

A strange location (definitely an overnight stop), not fancy but extremely comfortable.

Stayed at this hotel one night during the week of February, during the Tour Francorosso - Show trip between the Fiordes  (start and end of trip) and I would sincerely expect, travelling with a tour operator of that name, a better hotel accommodation, as happened to other hotels where you slept during the Tour. Typical on the road hotel with a free-access restaurant nearby. Dinner in the evening not a buffet and a bit of a snack. Many of us gave up and went next to the service station to get sandwiches. Good breakfast and discreet room.

Useful only for sleeping

I had been in this hotel last week with my family. The hotel is situated in a wood. It has nice room, but the shower is very uncomfortable. Breakfast was really poor. There were jot a lot of choices. We had a served dinner and it was poor too, but it was tasty. I had higher expectations actually. But the atmosphere was very good for relaxing and having a good time with the family. 

Sufficient 

In 2017 we stayed one night in this typical on the road hotel with dozens of electrical distributors in the square next to it and a good hypermarket with typical Norwegian products including also large packages of frozen bear meat and much more. The hotel is also inspired by the name of the traveler from a Norwegian fairy tale metaphor of life (may be our pinhole). After a year I see from the photos that the outside area has been completed, in fact in 2017 the square/garden was work in progress.

Traveling to the fjords

Prior to arriving here, our guide told us that there was nothing to do and that we should spend (kill?) time while we were in Lom ahead of schedule. The reality is that apart from the Stave Church (which is pretty cool, but I can't find it on TA to review it) there is nothing to do so we retired to a bar and waited until our departure time.

The guide was right about the location of the hotel - it is located by a motorway intersection with nothing immediately around except a petrol station. He also described it as a 'modern' hotel, which really didn't mean anything at the time.

However, after we checked in - and maybe this is a Norwegian thing - reception was in a different building from the rooms. Upon entering the building where the rooms are located, it appeared as if we had entered a type of factory or the inside of a transport ship. 

Once in the room itself, it had the feeling of being in a shipping container! Nice decoration (apparently each room is different) with quotes from Peer Gynt's books/stories on the walls. Luckily we were only there for one night as there wasn't much space for clothes even had we wanted to unpack.

We then went for dinner - included in our tour - and despite knowing it was a set menu, we had no idea what to expect. In the end was were served what appeared to be chicken tikka masala, but which wasn't curry as a main course. I don't know about any of the others, but my chicken was quite rubbery. I wasn't overly impressed.

Walking out of the dining area and into what appeared to be the bar, I was told they didn't serve drinks - was this the time of day/the day itself/general policy? - but they could sell us cans of beer to take to our room. So off we went at around 9.30pm, back to the shipping container with nothing else to do. Luckily there was a working fridge in the room.

One cool thing that I hadn't seen before were several Tesla car charging stations beside the accommodation block. We watched a few people pull up in a car park, find a space, plug their cars in and go to have a coffee or whatever in the petrol station while their cars charged. That was completely new for me, so my best memory of the stay.

Strange place in the middle of nowhere

It is not a charming hotel, but if you like the on the road style it has its charm. The rooms are modern and charming (although the closet is virtually non-existent), clean and functional, and the staff is courteous (we searched the internet for the Italian translation of the various fish available at the restaurant).

Modern and functional, on-the-road charm

If you are offered to stay in this establishment, try to avoid it at all costs (unless you have nowhere else to go in the middle of the night). Built only in February 2017, the hotel itself looks modern and clean but in fact this is a roadhouse attached to an eatery and intended mostly for long-haul truckers. The hotel reception does not exist, and the related functions are done by the cashier in the eatery. The food is mediocre and the choice is limited. There is no beer or wine or any alcoholic drinks. There is absolutely no place to have a walk around unless you prefer to stroll on the parking for cars, trucks and trailers. There are, though, several shopping malls if this is your favorite pastime. Don't go there...
