A beautiful, romantic place to enjoy your holiday.

Pros: The hotel is situated in a tiny picturesque village from the late 19th century by the Luster fjord, overlooking a fantastic view. It has Norway’s best breakfast with everything you may wish, and fantastic service. For extra luxury, enjoy a wonderful 4-course dinner prepared by some of our best chefs, followed by a drink and coffee in the garden. We stayed in one of the modern rooms, which has plenty of space and a nice porch on the lawn to enjoy the morning sun. This is a must see for everyone who just want to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape. It’s not cheap, but it’s with it.

Pros: Nice location, ideal for walks amd swimming. Super helpful staff. They prepared me a delicious 4pm snack (waffles, cream amd marmelade) !)) The 4 course menu was delicious! And breakfast too!

Cons: A jaccuzzi and sauna outside could be cool! With such a view, it would be top. Bed too soft for me.

Oldest hotel in Norway with incredible food and lovely staff

Pros: A quaint historic hotel in a picturesque location. We thoroughly enjoyed the 4 course dinner as well as scrumptious breakfast, and the staff clearly cared and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again if/when visiting Norway.

Fantastisk sted, atmosfære, personale!

Pros: Veldig fornøyd med både frokost, serveringspersonalet og beliggenheten. Og kunne nyte kaffen ute i den flotte hagen var en flott avrunding av frokosten.
