Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, while functional, lacked a touch of luxury for the price point. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. The picturesque location and nostalgic vibe added charm to the stay, although dining options were somewhat limited in variety and pricey. The facilities were satisfactory, but some updates could enhance the overall experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a nice view of the fjord and Balestrand, but they were just okay and a bit warm in the summer. The service was a bit rude and arrogant at times, but the staff were extremely helpful with day trips and activities. The location was excellent, close to everything in Balestrand and offered stunning views. The dining was decent but lacked quality compared to other hotel breakfasts in Scandinavia. Overall, a stay with both positives and negatives.
Staying at this hotel was an amazing experience. The rooms were excellent, offering a comfortable bed, a settee, and an armchair. The balcony with chairs and a table provided stunning views of the village and fjord, making it a truly relaxing stay. The service was top-notch with kind and accommodating staff, and the location right on the coast was breathtaking. The dining options were superb, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes. While the facilities were great, the price for some services could be a bit high.
