SkiStar Lodge Trysil Customer Reviews

Our self-catered mountain-view apartment at Skistar Lodge was ideal for our family of 4, with easy access to the main slopes via a magic carpet and connecting T-bar. Our suite was spacious and comfortable, with 2 bedrooms and a large open living area with kitchen. A washing machine in the room would have been great, however, the shared facilities (booked and paid for via reception) were fine. Food and drinks were expensive, however expected given the location. Unfortunately, the food at the buffet restaurant was poor, especially considering the price (we went once for dinner and would not recommend it), however also the most economical family option within the hotel. The local bus stops right outside the hotel and can be used to reach the slopes, nearby shops and other areas. We used this on the first day to reach ski school for the kids, until we had our bearings and knew how to get there via lifts and skiing instead. Dedicated ski lockers are provided with the room, can fit 4 sets of skis but only 2 pairs of boots (possibly more at a push), are really convenient and accessed using your room key via doors that automatically open (really helpful with a hands full of ski gear). The onsite ski rental makes that step far easier for those needing to use it, and ski passes can be collected via numerous self-service kiosks in the hotel. All in all, a comfortable experience with all major needs met locally within the hotel, where self-catering is recommended.
