Friendly staff that allways greet you with a smile, great location close the Hemsdal shopping, restaurants and nigthlife, and the free skibus , good homecocked food, and ala carte, nice bar. Fitnes and relax.

We stayed half board for a ski holiday (6 couples age 30 to 38). Initaly after some confusion with our booking we were allocated 3 rooms which were in need of refurbishment. However after further complaints we were moved to some nice rooms on the 3rd floor. The hotel staff were very helpful and understood our initial
concerns. The hotel has very nice bar areas which were quiet every evening - no noisy disco or DJ. The breakfast was excellent (buffet style) evening food ok - soup and bread starter then meat and veg main. If you didnt like the main course there was always an alternative. Note there is a charge for dessert !!!!? The skiing in Hemsedal is great and there are enough runs for all abilities. For experts the off-piste powder is fantastic and excellent instructors can be booked at the resort. Don't expect any cheap beer or wine even at the supermarket, buy all your booze at duty free :-) if you want a break from skiing I recommend a visit to Hemsedal Huskies

We were here i april last winter, and had a fantastic stay at Skogstad. The food was great, we stayed for one week, and had a two course dinner midweek, and a fantastic three course dinner friday and saturday... The service and staff were so pleasant, and we were helped with everything from skipass to activities like snoscootering..
We asked for a room away from the nightclub, so we were not bothered by any noise.
We defenitly reccoment this hotel for our friends...

You expect that ski resorts can be a little rowdy, but this was on another level alltogether. We were shaken out of bed by the nightclub around 11. I t was astonishingly loud. My first thought was to a demand another room, but after getting dressed and walking round the corridors, concluded that there would be nowhere you could sleep. The nightclub stopped at 2.30 am and fortunately only operates at weekends. Hemsedal is a great ski resort and we may well be back, but will not be staying at the Skogstad.
