SkiStar Lodge Trysil Customer Reviews

Hotel was wonderful - beautiful cosy, Scandi decor, surrounded by snow laden trees. Room very clean and comfortable beds - really hot/powerful showers, perfect for the end of a day outside. Buffet breakfast and dinner had a great range - really busy on the first night (as lots arrive at similar time) but other days weren't at all hectic. Staff really helpful, perfect English. Spa also wonderful - pool/saunas/hot tubs - all super clean and kids allowed to use all (at certain times) - ice bucket was a favourite of theirs. Could walk 15m or so to the magic carpet to get down to a t-bar or ski straight down to a button lift - with little kids going to ski school, if they can't manage that yet, there is a bus from outside the front door to the village 5 mins or so away (and then a few mins walk up to the slopes). Overall wonderful - will be coming back.

The Lodge was brilliant, our accommodation was spacious, we had a two bedroom apartment and an interconnecting double room to accomodate our group of six. The kitchen facilities were perfect, although there is no real access to a grocery store which would be disappointing if one did not have the half board package. The rooms were clean and modern. Access to the swimming pool had to be booked and incurred an additional charge. We were lucky to be able to secure a few slots for the kids throughout the week to get a swim. The sauna and hot tubs in the facility were really lovely, a great way to relax after a busy morning on the slopes. I was talking to other guests who were not able to get booked in though which would have been disappointing. The breakfast and evening food was really lovely, we enjoyed all our meals. There were some activities put on for the kids like yoga and a disco, but it wasn't something that our kids participated in. Generally we found that our kids were pretty exhausted after their time on the slopes and in the pool so didn't really need further entertainment. There is a small kids room that had some soft play toys and a games room that the kids sometimes used in the evenings. The bars on site were quiet, well stocked and nothing was a problem for the staff. In general, we had a fantastic first family ski trip, we loved the family friendly feel of the Ski Star Lodge and would definitely return.

Superb! We were in the main building and our room looked out onto the pistes. It was warm, comfortable, equipped with a fridge, safe, kettle and even a small heated cupboard to dry gear! The ski lockers were large enough to accommodate our Boards and sited next to the Ski shop, rentals and one of the Ski Pass machines. We chose a half-board package which gave us basically an all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast and evening meal in the Barken Restaurant. The food was excellent (I nearly ate my body weight in smoked salmon!) with a full choice of hot and cold breakfast food, plenty of salads and always three or four hot main courses, cheeses and a few desserts. The only drawback was the cost of alcohol - but this is Norway!
