Vestlia Resort

Good hotel Cleaning room Nice view on mountain

Были в июне, не в горнолыжный сезон. Отель очень понравился - хороший интерьер, большие номера, вкусный и разнообразный завтрак, шикарный бассейн. Всё понравилось, смело рекомендую.

Arrived today. First evening ruined by shocking service in the restaurant and useless customer service at front desk when I complained. No effort at all to placate us or make amends. Food thus far ridiculously lightweight and tiny portions for hungry people coming off the slopes. This is a very expensive place to stay and frankly thus far they seem to be taking the piss.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which offers an abundance of entertainment options, from a swimming pool complete with a slide to a dedicated playroom for kids, a cinema, spa facilities, and even a bowling room. The rooms themselves are spacious and many boast breathtaking views of the ski piste. However, one notable area for improvement is the noise isolation in the rooms. I frequently found myself disturbed by sounds from my upstairs neighbors, including footsteps and moving chairs, which detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, while the restaurant offers a variety of a la carte meals, the quality of ingredients could be enhanced, particularly considering the prices charged. Overall, a wonderful hotel with room for refinement.

This is our second visit to Geilo. In my opinion the Vestlia resort is the best hotel in the region, especially for families. The good stuff: - Very modern accommodation (we stayed in a family lodge), that had a kitchen so we could cook if we wanted to (definitely a good option as Norway is expensive to eat out each night), balcony, wi-fi, underfloor heating, comfy beds! The kids loved it and commented it was the best hotel they've been to (and they've been to some impressive places!) - Restaurant is great, huge breakfast, loads of space, never a problem getting a table - Loads for the kids....swimming pool (packed between 4-6pm so go before or after that time), bowling etc - Really modern gym and impressive spa - Ski store close to reception with a door straight outside putting you right next to the lift and ski schools, no messing about with buses or taxis - Complimentary taxi/bus from the train station to the resort The not so good stuff: - This isn't a five star hotel. It is busy (it's a large complex), but there is plenty of space. Not a problem for us but some people might be disappointed by not having every luxury. I debated whether to give it four or five stars, but I think 5/5 is fair - It is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Getting to the end of a run and skiing right up to the ski store is incredibly convenient

Didn’t want to rush this review as wanted the dust to settle and I’m glad I did. First and foremost, this is without a doubt the best overall hotel in Geilo; we’ve been to a few! Rooms are a good size, clean and modern. Shame the towels and pillows aren’t a little nicer, felt they were of a far lower quality than anything else in the hotel which was a shame. The facilities are fantastic. There is a good sized pool with a slide for the kids, a lovely bowling alley with the ever so popular shuffleboard on offer. A tiny cinema is on offer for the younger kids along with a tiny play area (not for teens). Alongside a very large bar area to have a drink or play some cards, there is a very large restaurant that can be a bit crowded in the evening but offers a very good breakfast buffet in the morning. For those of you skiing, there is an incredibly large boot room to store all your equipment and the hotel itself is mere meters away from the lifts and ski hire shop. The location of this hotel is second to none. As lovely as this hotel is, it’s not a 5 star venue. There is no room service or even a phone in the room to contact the front desk. I won’t dwell on an issue we experienced during our stay that was very unpleasant as it was dealt with eventually, but at the time of occurring, I do wish there had been more of a security/seniority presence at the hotel. I do feel for such a lovely place, a slight increase in older, professional members of staff would not go amiss. All in all, lovely place, fantastic facilities and location but still has a few minor flaws. Saying that, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Geilo from now on.
