Worked well for me this time but the 18 bed room might be too much for some travelers. Not downtown but the view is spectacular. Staff was kind and helpful.
I loved my stay in Montana and I can see why it was voted as Norway’s best hostel. The highlight for me was the activities organised by the great team of volunteers. I was lucky to be there on a Sunday so joined the hike to Baunehytten - beautiful scenery, lake swimming and coffee and waffles.
In terms of practicalities, the hostel is a 20 min bus trip from the bus station (which is very close to the train station). Take bus 12 and you can buy a ticket (49) on board. It is worth buying the 24 hr bus pass if you are likely to do 3 trips in a 24 hr period.
The hostel is very clean and extremely it well equipped. The kitchen has everything you would need and there’s a supermarket just along the road - it is closed on Sundays like others in Norway.
The breakfast was generous and varied. There is a great sunset viewing area and I recommend going to the 5.30pm coffee/tea and biscuits with the volunteers.
Thank you for a fantastic time!
Stayed in the mixed dorm. Slept well. Common area was nice and clean. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Close walk to Bunnpris for other meals and snacks. Exercise room could use sprucing up.
Nice hostel, overall good experience. Front desk staff were passive aggressive.

Staff were friendly n helpful. Had a bad experience with their in-house hiking activity where 4 of us 1st time hikers got lost when their team leader didnt act professionally to ensure that we were together when we headed back to the hostel.
I absolutely recommend this place, it’s super clean, the staff super friendly and attentive, Patricia is super thoughtful 😊. Breakfast is amazing too. And, the view, fantastic.
Exceptionally clean room and comfortable beds. Very sufficient and nutritious breakfast. Worth noting that it is a bit far from the city center and on Sundays the bus runs only every 30min, but the breakfast makes up for this along with the proximity to mountain walking trails up the mountain. The hostel seems to double for student accommodation, so this can lead to noisy behaviour from students.
I really liked my stay at the hostel. The staff were kind and helped whenever needed. It was great that there were always activities planned for the next day, by volunteers and that everyone took an initiative to attend them! I would highly recommend this hostel to someone travelling to Norway for the first time atleast; it would be a lovely place to make friends and you’ll also be able to experience and explore new things everyday!
