The loveliest - coziest and most peaceful hotel we have visited this summer. Authentic old place with the loveliest staff and the food was in a category of its own. Warmest recommendations from us.

Points of interests
Brasserie Fengselet
Find a cheap self-drive holiday with Risskov and go on a family holiday to Norway and experience Brasserie Fengselet, or Brasseriet Fængslet, which today provides premises for skilled chefs and delighted guests. Located in the former auxiliary prison in Hønefoss, the brasserie was built in 1852 and offers outdoor dining in the summer in the old ´luftegård´, where the prisoners could enjoy the sun for a short while. Find a cheap weekend break for the whole family at Risskov or just enjoy a cheap summer holiday in the beautiful area close to Brasserie Fengselet.
Hønefoss
Today, Hønefoss has a population of just over 15,000 and is located about 6 Norwegian miles northwest of Oslo. The town used to be a central hub on the East Coast and it is also easy to take a detour to Oslo or to visit the surrounding sights.
It is from the roaring waterfall that Hønefoss gets its name, which also forms a natural midpoint between the Sørsiden and the Nordsiden. Also visit the old Knights' Manor, which dates back to the 18th century and has a very beautiful location in Hønefoss.
There are several good places to eat in Hønefoss, try the restaurant in the former prison, Brasserie Fengselet, or the Restaurant Boat, which is open all year round. Hønefoss is certainly a worthy candidate for this year's winter holiday, summer holiday or perhaps just a long weekend break in Norway.
MS Dronning Tyra
From 1 May to 31 October you can visit the restaurant boat, MS Dronning Tyra. The boat is located in Hønefoss and sails up and down the Storelva and stops at Glatved Brygge. MS Dronning Tyra offers a unique dining experience on Tyrifjorden and Steinsfjorden. With its serene voyages and panoramic views of the stunning Norwegian landscapes, this boat provides an exceptional opportunity for tourists to enjoy local cuisine while immersed in the natural beauty of the region, making it a memorable addition to any travel itinerary.
Riddergården
Riddergården is an old farmhouse from the 1700s located just outside Hønefossen in Hønefoss. It is a so-called city farm, which is known by the fact that some of the buildings are placed around a natural centre so that a kind of alley is formed between the buildings.
About 200 years ago, the farm was the residence of the Ridder family, and today guided tours are organised in the summer, and when Christmas approaches, a cosy Christmas market is held. Get to know the Ridder family and experience a genuine 18th-century Norwegian farmhouse.
Gjermundbu
Gjermundbu comes from the name Geirmarabú, which was the name of a former manor located in Ringerrike and which dates back to the 16th century. But it was also here in Gjermundbufu that a farmer suddenly discovered an old burial mound in 1943. The grave in Gjermundbuu would turn out to be the final resting place of an influential and powerful chieftain, as it is one of the most valuable finds from the Norwegian Viking Age. Among the weapons found were axes, swords and spears, and the site bears witness to arguably one of the most important moments in Norwegian history, from a global historical and cultural context.
Veien Cultural Park
Take a trip back in time and discover one of the largest burial sites in the East from the Early Iron Age. Just north of Hønefoss is Ringerrike, which has been a gathering place for people dating back to around 900 BC.
The museum exhibits objects found during the excavations in Veien and the visit can end in the shop or café, which also serves hot dishes and cakes in summer.
