Amazing experience and stay, takes full advantage of Norway's nature and its beauty

Pros: The views from the hotel (everywhere practically) are fantastic, very relaxing and they instill a sense of happiness and wellbeing, but that is what Norway is known for, although the hotel is perfectly positioned to take advantage of it's surroundings.

Cons: Dinner was a bit costly, but it's difficult to compare...

Good memories in totality

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

A wonderful hotel in a fabulous location

Pros: Beautiful , old world hotel in a stunning location; staff very nice; room was big and view from the room was lovely; grounds well maintained; grocery store and restaurants near by; Restaurant evening meal was over-whelmed on our first night there--a tour group...we therefore ate in the bar area and the food was delicious. Tea and coffee are available in the lounge area in the evening and this is a wonderful treat; Breakfast is outstanding and the view from the breakfast room is wonderful;

Cons: there is a steep walkway leading from the ferry dock to the hotel; it has no railing and so in wet weather it is particularly treacherous.
