Welcome to the comfy living room of the Achterhoek. Stayokay Gorssel is situated close to Deventer in a gorgeous Norse hunting lodge that's full of character.
Gorssel is located in the middle of nature between the historic Hanseatic cities of Deventer and Zutphen. These two cities are certainly worth a visit. And after a day in the city, enjoy the peace and quiet in Gorssel.
In the hostel
In the middle of nowhere looms a beautifully renovated Norwegian hunting lodge, you have arrived at Stayokay Gorssel. You will find an atmospheric restaurant, a cosy sitting area by the fireplace, a nice living room with games and a lovely terrace in the large garden. All in line with the characteristic Norse style. You spend the night in the family or private rooms (always with private bathroom) or in the Wikkelhouses on the grounds of the hunting lodge.
In our hostel, we stimulate the sale of local, fair, organic products. Don't forget to try out our menu!
Reviews are important. For you and for us. It helps you to make the right choice and helps us to learn. That is why we post reviews on external (booking) sites on our own website.
