About

Hellesylt vandrerhjem has 15 rooms and 13 cottages. The building was used as a school until the 1970s. Erling Rusten, a highly appreciated citizen of Hellesylt, then opened the hostel in 1975. Another 32 years later, the hostel was taken over by Einar Arne Aasetrand, the owner of Ålesund Hostel, in the summer of 2007. Einar has the ambition to expand the hostel and the camping as well as the entire tourism industry in Hellesylt.

Poor children can’t travel

 The turists love Norway espesialy the Polish, they travel here i ever vaster numbers year after year. They love the mountains and the nature here.

Wonderfull breakfast, and a very nice Fjord view. I think t was a bit hard to find it at night, so I suggest studying well the map before going

Very good location for visiting Geiranger Fjord. Everything was fine, and price was very ok (one of the cheaper hostels on our trip). The building, bedrooms etc. are a little older, so that could be renovated.

The staff was very friendly. The single-room was clean, with good facilities. Breakfast was very good, a lot of things to choose from. The whole hostel had a really nice atmosphere. Good value for money. Thanks for the nice time. Tom.

we have been travelling since 6/15 and have stayed at youth hostels. and yours is the best, particularly the view from the dining room, kitchen, patio, and sitting room. anne, the staff on duty, is very nice too. if we get a chance to travel to the area, we definitely will stay in your place or recommend your hostel to our friends. problem is norway is just too expensive, with the us$ devaluating each day. we also love your all your can eat buffet breakfast.

Lovely setting with fine views of the fjord. Well worth the walk up there. The weather was great and the staff very helpful and friendly.My single room was small but functional with a bunk bed, desk, chairs and washbasin. The staff kindly kept my luggage for the day while I went out walking. The bus stop for Alesund is just down from the hostel, which runs at least twice a day. Breakfast is plentiful and the room overlooks the fjord. The hostel also has some cabins facing the fjord.
