Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms were unique with a system that took care of our shoes and wet clothes, decent size, and crisply appointed, offering stunning views from the balcony. The service was exceptional, going out of their way to ensure we didn't miss our flight and providing valuable local knowledge. The location was fantastic, right on the water with warm hospitality and easy access to town. The dining experience, although not elaborate, was full of delicious local specialties. Overall, a great value for money experience.
Staying on the third floor at the end of the hall with a view towards the back of the hotel turned out to be a simple but clean and bright experience. The rooms, although not huge, were extremely comfortable. The service, particularly with luggage assistance and local recommendations, was top-notch. The location in a quiet picturesque village with stunning fjord views was a highlight. The dining experience provided fresh and delicious options but lacked some variety. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming stay with beautiful surroundings.
The hotel offers a breathtaking view of Sognefjord from rooms with balconies. The friendly and accommodating service, along with a pleasant lobby area, enhances the stay. However, the breakfast options could be better. The location by the fjord is fantastic, away from the hustle of the town.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with breathtaking fjord views. The rooms are well-appointed and spacious, though the bedding might be too warm for some. The service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff providing great recommendations and assistance. The location is unbeatable, right by the fjord with easy access to the town center. The dining experience is a mix of positives and negatives, with delicious food but limited fruit options. Overall, a great value for a quality stay.
