Since the hotel was built in 1921, the rooms originally was without
bathrooms. After a major renovation in the late seventies, most of the
rooms got own baths, but the rooms got somewhat smaller in size, and the
number of rooms decreased.
The picture to the right shows the new terrace by the river ,
built in 2005. We are constantly renovating , and two more rooms was finished in 2010.
Lonely planet description from 2008:
"Last time we were here
we just couldn't bring
ourselves to include this place,
Setesdalen's oldest hotel,because the rooms were
so rundown. Thankfully Monika
and the wonderfully named took over
and are slowly overhauling the hotel. The newly renovated rooms have an old-world
charm, while those yet to
be renovated are all about tired
1970's decor;there's free wireless
throughout. The restaurant is possibly Evje's
best, with dishes such as
reindeer heart and reindeer a'la
rudolph;it also has popular
sunday buffét in summer(hotels
remark: all year) The lakeside
terrace is lovely,while Roar,
a former country singer
sings in the bar on
some weekend nights."
