This property was an old articulated bus, separated into three units, fitted into a hillside with the mountain looming over us and a view of the ocean on the other side. The unit was warm, clean and had all the basics one would need. It fit four people and luggage. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was next door. We were able to cook very simple meals inside. The property was stunning with horses nearby, chickens running around and all the wildflowers. We just called the number given to let them know when we would show, they met us promptly and were very nice. I would highly recommend!

Unique stay at the foot of the mountains
The converted city buses here offered fairly rustic and cozy accommodations. It's a unique place, with ingeniously designed bunks in some of the rooms. Chickens and horses give it a very country feel.

Much smaller than photos. We did not have a cell capable of calling. A message was sent to confirm our check in but no answer back. We were lucky another visitor used their phone for us to call and someone came to bring us bedding and show us our bus. Bathroom was warm and clean. Kitchen was well equipped but think camping out to stay organized for a full meal. It was an experience, cute and cosy.

Esjan was a lovely property to stay at! We stayed in November and I was worried it would be freezing but it was actually very warm and toasty inside the bus, the shared bathroom was a few steps away, and the bed was super comfortable. We brought food to eat in and played cards that we brought on the dining room table. Gorgeous view to wake up to. Only thing to note is that you HAVE to call the owner upon arrival - there is no check in desk, so plan for that with your phone and any international calling plans you may have, as this was a setback at first as we could not call out with our phone when we first got there. There is free wifi and you can connect to it once you arrive.

The experience is unique, the view of the Mountain is great. More of a campsite than a hostel. Must have your own transportation.

You must be able to make a call to local number to be able to get the keys. Old buses. Very uncomfortable beds (bunk bed). Kids enjoyed the new experience

Unique and Comfy
Four of us stayed at Esjan (in two different buses), and we had a lovely time. The beds were more comfortable than I expected, and it was a quiet and peaceful place to start adjusting to the time zone. (Until the rooster woke us up in the morning, but I guess that *also* helped us adjust to the time zone). The buses were surprisingly comfortable, and the VIEWS were amazing.

Excellent stay. Fun, comfortable accommodations. Not the fault of the property, but no food or grocery accommodations close by.

The bus was created by the owner. It has an excellent view of Mount Elja. It was so perfect and efficient. I absolutely adored it. The owner was perfect too.

Smutsigt hippe boende!
Väldigt smutsigt hippe ställe! Allting i köket var odiskat och det var mat kvar i kylskåpet från föra gästerna. Värden var trevlig och hjälpsam men väldigt väldigt hög!
