Latest Review for Marken Gjestehus
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
Early evening arrival. Interesting entry scenario, what with no one around, using my credit card to swipe one door after another. The next morning there were people in attendance, very friendly and helpful. I would advise anyone wanting a cheap dorm bed to go with the 4 rather than the 8-bed room.

Important Information
Conditions
Marken Gjestehus opened in December 1997 with 12 rooms and 36 beds. In May 2002 we expanded, and added 9 rooms and 29 beds. Now we have 21 rooms and 67 beds.
In january 2005 we redecorated our first wing. All 12 rooms has been painted in fresh and modern colors, and the interior has been upgraded. Also the corridors and common rooms has been painted.
In 2007 we have got a new kitchen, a modern, fully equipped kitchen that will meet the needs to those of our guests that will prepare their own food ( tea and coffee will still be available and free for our guests 24 h ).
In October / November we will install a Wireless Zone, that will be free for our guests.
From the opening in 1997, we have received great response and feedback from our guests, saying that the accomodation we offer is excellent, modern and reasonable priced. We wish to maintain these essential factors , and to continue giving our guests the same up-to-date accomodation at the same low price.
