While the hotel is nicely located in an idyllic location with a historic rustic building, I had my fair share of problems with this visit as a whole. It's clear the tech of this hotel is lagging behind the times, from keycards from prior generations to TVs that have seen much better days. First of all the room itself is spacious enough, and doesn't feel overly cramped, the priorly mentioned TV is an afterthought at best though, and not something you can really enjoy anything on anyhow. The biggest problem with the room is the bathroom, it is relatively small and the shower is miniscule, and not one I would even fit into due to my stature. This is a big sign of when this hotel was last renovated, and is much below par from what I expect of a hotel with an agreement with Thon. While this is a personal pet peeve, the hotel does not have a coffee machine at all, not even in the breakfast area, and only serves pre brewed coffee of relatively low quality, which is something I never like. As there are extremely limited options in terms of restaurants in Selbu, we decided to just eat at the hotel restaurant, which turned out to not be the best idea. The menu is understandably small as the traffic is low here and they do not want to waste food. That being said, each course only had three options, so I got the reindeer for my Main while my father had the fish of the day, then we both had the 'homemade' caramel pudding for desert. Now the reindeer itself was treated well, it got served medium rare or so, which is what I requested, and it had also been given time to rest so the meat was tasty and juicy. Perhaps a little more salt and pepper but that is just a nitpick. Now the sides for my main were far from perfect. The brussel sprouts were sadly a bit watery and loose for my taste, and they could have been given a good bit more crunch or contrast. This is even more important since the rest of the dish did not really give that contrast either. The brown sauce was fine for game meat but nothing special. The best surprise In the dish was the addition of some cripsy bacon bits. This gave some much needed saltiness and crispness to the dish and suited the meat well also. The mash that accompanied the dish was very lackluster. It had practically no taste and lacked heavily in salt, pepper, butter or other ingredients to make it shine. To me I think a proper pomme puree would have been much better suited if they wanted to do a mash with this dish, but alas. In the end I also feel some more contrast, in textures especially, would have helped greatly in this dish, some more vegetables and mushrooms for example. The meat was the hero though and the best part of the dish, so well done on that part at least. My father had the fish of the day, and he had the same lackluster mash. His carrots were also on the soggier side which did not help anything. While he said the fish itself was well made, they had left the skin on and treated it terribly. The skin was o

To start with.. The whole hotel feels like a retirement home for older people, and I read that it actually was sometime ago?! The beds are bad, and the furniture are terrible. There was no trashcan at the room. There was no toilet brush in the bathroom! The shower did leak outside of the cabinet, and the floor was so cold in the bathroom that it didn't vaporize. It was terrible to stand on a cold tile floor in the morning, and it kind of gave me a bad start of the day. I thought this was it, but then I arrived at the breakfast next day and it was literally just egg and bacon, maybe a few slices of fruits and yoghurt among other small things. It was the worst breakfast I've had at any Thon hotel, and I do travel a lot. I now understand why the hotel require pre-payment on arrival. I guess guests were leaving their bills to find other places. This whole ordeal left me with a "bad taste" from Thon hotels, and I wouldn't be proud of having this hotel as a partner at all. From now on I will read all the rewiews when considering a Thon hotel, and I didn't have to do this previously because I trusted the service and the brand.
