Eikum Hotel
A traditional hotel with a century of history at the base of the Jotunheimen mountains.
Overview
On a pristine lake, this standard, family-run hotel in Hafslo is a reliable base for those who plan to be out and about enjoying the nearby mountains, fjords, ski resorts, and Europe’s largest mainland glacier. While many hotels in the area are seasonal, this is a year-round option (hello, skiers) with 59 rooms offering single, double, or family sizes. Breakfast is free for guests, and there’s a spacious restaurant and bar in the evenings, though hours of operation may adjust per the season.
Kimkim's Take

Pros
- Enjoy a traditional hotel and restaurant serving free breakfast with lake views, a private beach, and a pretty garden.
- Due to its prime fjord location, a slew of outdoor activities is possible for all seasons like glacier tours, hiking, trout fishing, boating, and skiing, which can be arranged by staff.
- The restaurant has a full bar and serves traditional Norwegian fare in the high season.
- Guests can inquire about hiking and biking trails that can be accessed from the hotel; bike rentals are available.
- Rooms are small and basic, perhaps best suited for those who don’t plan to be in them much.
- WiFi may not work in all the rooms—inquire at the front desk for better service if that’s a priority.
