Heyerdalsbukta Tours and Activities

The place was spacious as we had the two bedrooms. The apartment had natural cooling, which was ok as it wasn’t as hot while we were there and cooled pretty good with the windows opened. The kitchen was okay stocked, but didn’t have a few essentials like oven mitts and dish towel or cloth. Place was equipped with soaps and a few pods for dishwasher and one for washing machine. It does take some time to dry, but we hung some clothes up and they dried overnight. We were able to access key cards into building and room okay. It did take some time to hear back on the luggage room code, the messenging system seems automated, but we finally got through. There was bad reception in the basement as well. Overall a good stay. Location was close to grocery store and a relatively short 10 minutes walk from the train station. Some music at night, but wasn’t bad on weekdays. Sundays are quiet. The view was nice and so is the roof top patio.

If like us you are just looking for a place to rest in comfort while you are traveling, then this is it! Very clean, basic furnishings with no TV. A cooktop, microwave, and fridge, but no oven are provided. As we arrived after midnight, and had difficulty with the room code after entering the building, we called the 'emergency number' and got in the 'next available operator' loop for half an hour so no one responds if their is an actual emergency. Office opens at 9am and email responses get answered only then. Fortunately we worked through the emails received prior to arrival and found the electronic access (via a phone app) in an email link. If we hadn't had the phone we were sleeping in the hallway until 9am! Do not miss the opportunity to walk the neighborhood as the grocery store is right next door, and the Old Timber Mill is not to be missed! The bus to Oslo (or the local terminal) runs every 10 minutes, stops in front of the apartment, and connections to everywhere are many. An entirely great visit and we hope that the communication and contact information improves, because emergencies do happen, and at 3 am, no answer is not a good response, nor a great impression...

The location was excellent, room was super comfortable, breakfast and dinner were awesome. We loved this stay!
