Hallingdal, Buskerud hotel rooms at the Independent

"Hesla Gård (Farm) is so charming. There has been great care in preserving the historic buildings, the lodging is clean and very comfortable, and the inn hosts are wonderful. Easy walk to town (10 min) and to local sites, such as the Gol Church, and to hiking trails. I look forward to my next visit! "

"We had a fabulous 2 night stopover in Dr Holms between Bergen & Oslo. The staff are a credit to the hotel especially Julia on reception who was really helpful & Karin (i think thats the spelling) who worked in the restaurant. She was so friendly & knowledgeable about places for us to see on our stopover. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we've had, there was a great choice for everyone in our party & the kitchen staff were accommodating of any requests. I was on the 2nd floor & my room was lovely, with amazing views of the mountains. We loved the quirkyness of the hotel & there was lots of nooks & crannies for us to explore. It was warm & sunny during our stay & it was great to have the balcony on the first floor to sit out on to enjoy it. The only minor disappointments were that both Jacuzzis were out of commission during our stay. Some more vegetarian options in the sports bar & diner would have been welcomed too but other than that, we wouldn't hesitate to return "

"Everything was"

"Beautiful stay in bright large apartment. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything you need. We had a mountain view/view of ski slopes and it was beautiful with the large windows. You do need to bring your own towels and bedsheets (bedding itself provided) or you can rent them. All amenities like pool are at an additional cost. Easily walkable to town center, hiking trails and slopes though during ski season till mid April a ski bus takes you for free. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend. "

"A great stay on my trip as a middle crossing point in Geilo, en route to Oslo from Bergen; it is within close walking distance from restaurants/shops, the information centre and of course the train station - as well as both having a restaurant/drinks counter (including tea and Starbucks coffee selections) and a nice swimming pool/jacuzzi/sauna in their building to access was also great for my short stay! Plus the staff were very nice and helpful when it came to check in/check out and drink orders. A definite recommend, especially if you're into nature walks, hiking or skiing close by to your accommodation. :)"
