Reviews of Singerheimen

If you want to sleep in a museum, this is the place to stay. The personnel was very nice. There was home-made bread at breakfast.

Just keep in mind: you will "enjoy" a shared bathroom, and you better keep your luggage tidy because there will be people visiting - your room as well! We noticed too late the "shared bathroom" feature; this may be acceptable for young people, but for us it was not. The pictures published on the internet are just great; our room was not there! we got a very small room (probably the former servant's room), with none of the nice, attractive items from the images. There is no lock at the door; when you leave your room, the door stays unlocked. Way too expensive.

Perfect. Extremely nice place near the Jake, great food and great hosts. We did half of bessegen climbing up and then took the trail to the hotel from there. This way we do to see great views but also did not walk up the hard part of bessegen in the rain

Very nice hotel, like sleeping in a museum, which makes for an awesome experience!

The pillows were terrible :-)

It was very interesting to stay in such a historic house. The staff knew a lot about the history of the previous owners, which made it a lot more interesting.

The house is over 100 years old, so it of course has some creaking when stepping on the wooden floor and when opening and closing doors. So it’s important to be mindful with the noise.

It had a unique character with lots of details everywhere. Extremely beautiful area and nice stories behind the place. Great decorations and views.

It was more expensive than the quality of service and facilities were worth. Rooms didn’t have a key and some rooms were connected to each other. I accidentally opened a door in our room but suddenly entered other people’s room which was very awkward. The shower was not working properly either.

If you wish to experience beyond what a traditional hotel offers, this is the place for you. After our travel with numerous Hotels, this place stands out, and the reason is not because you have more choices at the breakfast, but you feel you are in a different universe. Like you went back in time and your stay becomes more than just a room. Even though we booked wrongly the hosts arranged everything to meet our needs on the spot.

Loved the location and setting. Loved the fact that we were staying in a museum and all the original artifacts. Totally intriguing.

Our beds were very uncomfortable. My husband slept in William’s bed and it was not made when we arrived. We had a shared bathroom which we did not expect

This is a museum not a hotel - that said the environment was delightful. It contains original furniture and fittings, and there are shared bathrooms. We stayed in Anna's room and had lovely views of the valley down to the fjord. The breakfast was delicious and there were plenty of areas to sit during the day and evening in the various sitting rooms and outside. There are facilities to prepare a simple cold meal and make tea and coffee. The views from the breakfast room are exceptional and there are numerous pictures, artefacts and books to read about William and Anna Singer and their legacy. The staff were delightful and we really enjoyed our tour of the house and hearing about the couple from our young, enthusiastic guides.

The bed was not the most comfortable (it is all original furniture) and had not been made properly with just one sheet laid across the mattress that didn't fit. The original curtains do not fit the windows so did not keep any light out. It would have been good to have a simple cooker or hob in the outhouse to make warm meals in the evening as there are limited local options for food.

Very nice breakfast, and friendly staff

The mattress of both beds were horrible, need an urgent update

Breakfast with fresh bread and scones was good…view from the dining room and the lawn was awesome…

Upon our request, the host was very nice to advance our breakfast from 8 am to 7 am to meet our needs. We do appreciate he did this for us.

It is a historic house with a lot of decorative items.

It was a special moment to stay at a museum hotel. It makes us feel like we traveled to the past. The surrounding area is really beautiful and quiet. The owner was very nice and friendly. We had a great time at this place.

The location was amazing, the hosts were very nice and helpful, the food was all homemade and excellent

Everyone always prefers a private bathroom but gives the age of the house and all it’s charm I didn’t mind giving up on the private bathroom in exchange for that

It was the house of Mr Singer, an heir to his American businessman father but who wanted to be a painter. We grew to appreciate the house - it’s warm and full of history! The staff is great too.

Wonderful historic stay. Beautiful home. Great location.

You feel obligated to listen to the spiel from the caretaker of the place, and we were tired and not ready for that. Beds are not that comfortable, but a great experience for one night for sure!

A very historical home - maintained with all its original fittings & fixtures

It’s a museum home - we’re not given room keys. While we like the home, it does need a refreshed … some further cleaning.

Great location, really special hotel, excellent staff

The staff was amazing. So kind and caring! The beds were very comfortable, the shower was good and the breakfast plentiful and tasty. Also the view was very pretty.

Nothing that wasn't pre -written. Do wish I had a double bed. Also the lounge/cafe area had some functions missing.

The host Harald was very kind and welcoming The dining room is spectacular
