Family-run hotel for over 100 years

Eikum Hotel was started by Brita and Per Eikum in 1919. The hotel then had two beds, the price of a cup of coffee and two large cakes was 0.25 øre, and a dinner cost 0.50 øre.

In 1922, the first foreign tourists came to the hotel, and there were 3 Englishmen: a general and two colonels.

The hotel rooms were eventually equipped with a washstand with a washing set (pitcher, saucer and soap dish), a potty and toilet bowl inside a cupboard, and two oil lamps. The price for an overnight stay ranged from 75 øre to 1 krone and 25 øre, depending on the standard of the room. The boarding price during the summer season, which included 1 room and 4 meals, was four kroner per day.

This was the brave start of a family hotel that in 2023 will be over 100 years old, started by the current owner, Ståle, his great-grandparents.

4 generations have left their mark on this family business, which has a strong tradition of shuttling tourists in VW buses, Himmelpudding and traditional food, and is located in the middle of the alleyway of the most beautiful attractions in Norway.
