Hotel Aurlandsfjord

Great location , nice rooms , great breakfast

Rooms on 3rd and 4th floor don’t have an elevator . We didn’t received one of the rooms we ordered

La vista al fiordo

Mycket proffsig personal. Middagen och frukosten. Utsikten. Lugnet

Nydelig hummersuppe i restauranten og god service fra en hyggelig blond dame! Fin beliggenhet og koselig sentrum.

Kaldt bad og rom (juniorsuite). Savner også ekstra puter.

Amazing staff, in a beautiful location. Our room had a balcony with wonderful view over the fjord. Breakfast was good with a choice of some made to order dishes. Evening food was really nice. Good availability if parking immediately outside the hotel.

Price of food and drink was particularly high. It was the most expensive we found when travelling around Norway.

Our stay started extremely well - the service of the front desk is fabulous, really cordial and professional, and the dinner in the restaurant is fantastic. We highly recommend both the "normal" restaurant (which is extremely well executed fine dining with 1-2 vegetarian options) and the otherworldly good and unique KEST gourmet tasting menu. The room itself was tasteful with a comfortable bed and a nicely renovated bathroom.

After the fabulous dinner, we really looked forward to breakfast - and unfortunately were quite disappointed. The coffee was the biggest let-down - it's a machine preparing espresso-esque beverages from a concentrate that contains sugar and lots of additives and tastes as bad as it sounds. We loved the idea of offering both a-la-carte options and a buffet but execution unfortunately left us underwhelmed: The buffet (at least in the May version - there was lots of empty space on the counters, maybe they offer more choices in peak season) felt limited; there was no wholegrain bread (in general a surprising gap in Norway given that nearby Sweden has fantastic wholegrain breads), the melons were tasteless, there was no hot chocolate for kids, and sugary wheat puffs were the only cereal option. The a-la-carte items ranged from the tasty (the hot oats with chocolate, almonds and fresh blueberries were great; the (half of a) waffle was nice) to the inedible (the hummus was strangely sour) and were rather small. In light of the exceptionally high price of the hotel, the limited buffet options and the small size of the a-la-carte options, we were taken aback that we could not get a second item. Overall the hotel felt overpriced - while the price suggests ultimate luxury, aspects of the accommodation were rather basic: e.g., the elevator only reaches the first floor (we had to haul up our bags two more flights of stairs to reach our top floor room with balcony), and because of the tilted ceiling underneath the roof, every time we went to our bathroom or sofa, we had to be careful not to bump our head into a rather low beam. There was no desk and no closet, and consistent with the breakfast, there was no coffee maker for capsules capable of producing high end coffee in the room. Free parking space in front of the hotel is limited and may not be available every night.
