It is a lovely hotel with its own style. Very pleasant public rooms with lots of character. The food is excellent. The location is stunning. Our room was comfortable and had a balcony with good views.

Beautiful spot. Rooms in modern section perfectly acceptable

We had a room in the "modern building" which was not modern at all. Rooms were very small, cold and unwelcoming. Balcony had a concrete railing with a painted pipe on top. Yuk. No sense of luxury at all. Very much an economy room. We had to ask for shampoo. No bathmat for the shower. And is there some reason every hotel on the planet does not yet have a USB charging port on each side of the bed????

The old world charm of the historic building was delightful. Breakfast in the old building was excellent.

No floor towel to get out of the shower, no shampoo/conditioner, ilumination in the rooms is very poor, shower pressure is on the low side. My room looked and felt VERY outdated. And the horrible building where the rooms are… ruins the entire town.

Staff is great, and the main building (old house) is very nice from the inside and outside. Located just by the fjord… really nice.

We enjoyed our stay. The view from our room was beautiful. Our room in the old building was well appointed and comfortable. It seemed recently renovated and doesn't match the dingy description cited by others. You're paying for the destination. The breakfast was ample and delicious. The views from the common areas was gorgeous. Please stop by Ciderhuset for cider and a meal. It's a lovely property up the road a ways. It was one of the best meals we had in Norway.

We were there in early October, which is apparently the end of the season. Unfortunately, everything in town was closed. It's a beautiful landscape to walk around though.

The view from the room were amazing! The historic part of the hotel is a must see. There's alot of history there, including antiques and old artwork. The view from the dining and lounging areas is also spectacular. The dining options were great. We chose to eat a la carte in the bar for dinner and a nice buffet for breakfast.

Beautiful location

I feel the service could have been more attentive. The young boys and girls were’nt really bothered and would’nt even look up to the guest. They were like robots.

The breakfast was served in the old heritage dining room. The place was huge and high ceilings. The views of the fjords and village were stunning. The breakfast variety was best quality and variety. Myself and my husband are vegetarians but still had many options.

There is a very new section that is functional and has great views but i think i would have preferred the old section. This is unclear when making resvs

Beautiful old hotel with many lovely old antique rooms to have a cocktail of after dinner coffee or tea

Great location, easy to catch the ferry, enjoyed the view from the balcony. The bar menu was quite good -- and a better option for our casual crowd than the dining room for dinner.

The rooms are a bit dated, but it didn’t bother us too much. The elevator made creaky noises, which was a bit unsettling, but it functioned, so it was OK.

Great location. The historic building was beautiful. Most rooms I think have a beautiful view. It was clean and the staff were friendly. Breakfast was very good, in a wonderful room.

The weather - not the hotel’s fault…

Excellent breakfast buffet, although missing any sweet pastry. The dining room was elegant and the views lovely

In areas it could do with updating the “modern “ block is no longer modern and lack any personality. It is the same as an airport hotel but a lot more expensive! It lives on its reputation and lack of competition in the area.

The view from our balcony was great as was the terrace area. The old style old building is interesting. Balestrand is a lovely spot
