Booked our trip with Iglu Ski, one of the reasons we chose this hotel was that it was advertised with spa facilities including a pool, sauna and whirlpool. When we received our confirmation details we discovered that these would not be available and we're infact 'planned' - very disappointing and what's more, no compensation! The hotel nightclub had recently been... more

I stayed at the hotel Skogstad with my wife and children for a skiing holiday over half term. We arrived there pretty late on the sunday night and were given a different room to the one we had paid for. I complained at the time but the guy on reception said they were full and to sort it out in... more

We decided to go away skiing for New Year and due to the lack of snow in europe(!) thought we would try out Norway. .and how impressed we were!! We booked the flights(BA), car hire (avis)and hotel all separately as it was difficult to get a 4 day package to suit our requirements. However, It couldn't have been easier, the... more

We sat by the big windows drinking hot chocolate and watched it snow outside. The room was on the corner of the hotel and we had the perfect... more

We booked the Skogstad Hotel (of the Norlandia chain of hotels) with Crystal Ski, and arrived there on 2nd April 2006, staying for one week. Having read the reviews of others before we went, we were prepared for some drawbacks, but overall we liked it so much that we hope to go again next year. The hotel is comfortable. Everything... more

Stayed at the Skogstad for a week. The rooms are not English 4* standard but are clean and sufficient space with great underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Very cosy. Food was fantastic, all you can eat breakfast, they let you make packed lunch with plastic sandwich bags for your days out and the evening meal is again all you can... more

Just returned from a Xmas break in Hemsedal. The Norlandia Hotel seems to be one of the main places in Hemsedal: the coaches pick up and drop down there, and at the time we went there it seemed to be the only bar and restaurant open. Staff were very friendly, and the restaurant served buffets in the evening which were... more

The Skogstad is rated as a 4-star hotel. I would say that it is leaning more towards the 3-star side of 4, rather than 5. The rooms are basic but clean. The half-board option was fine. Breakfasts were buffet style and you were able to make packed lunches to take up to the ski slopes. Dinner was generally good to... more
