Balestrand Hotel

Friendly staff. Beautiful view of fjord

Breakfast was just croissants

Beliggenheten var super. Deilig å bade ved « badeplassen «. Men trappen ned til vannet var litt glatt og vanskelig å gå på for en som er over 70 og elsker å bade.Så rengjør den litt og lag litt enklere adkomst

Egentlig ingen ting med unntak av nevnte trapp

We fell in love with this hotel’s seaside view, eclectic decor and community vibe. This hotel felt connected to Balestrand’s unique community in a way most hotels don’t. An easy walk from the ferry. Our room was basic but exceptionally clean, with comfortable beds, bedding, chairs, strong and stable WiFi, quirky local artwork, a balcony with two chairs plus table and an incredible view (upgrading to a sea view was worth every penny). Our bathroom was older looking but functional and very clean. The hotel provided body wash, packets of shampoo, hairdryer, earplugs (it’s an older building so rooms aren’t completely silent but we didn’t find it disruptive), two glasses, lots of shelving above the toilet, and a wardrobe. Bring conditioner, lotion, and an eye mask if you need to sleep in a dark room in summer months. No kettle, coffee maker (coffee is available in the lobby), or TV in room. Friendly and helpful hotel staff. There’s a private beach, sauna, parking, bar in the lobby, games, a pool table, indoor and outdoor seating, hammock, a small lending library by the hotel’s back door and a few kids toys, older but working elevator, and fresh croissants, coffee, jam, and butter in the morning. A partial voucher for breakfast at a neighboring hotel was offered at check in. We absolutely loved our stay here, it was a highlight of our Norway vacation, and we really want to go back to spend more time there. If you’re looking for a traditional generic hotel experience then this isn’t the hotel for you, but if you like a clean, comfortable, friendly, small-town hotel with a unique community vibe and incredible views then check this place out.

Nothing really. There wasn’t an option to book a time for the sauna at check in, the sauna website is only in Norwegian which makes booking tricker. No conditioner or washcloth, but those don’t seem to be commonly provided in Norwegian hotels overall. There’s no hotel or local souvenir merch available for sale in the lobby, something simple like postcards would be nice.

La vue est sublime ! Les chambres sont classiques mais la vue sur le fjord est inégalable ! L’accueil est très chaleureux et les pièces communes de l’hôtel sont aussi très agréables. Un grand merci aux équipes, qui, malgré un petit imprévu d’eau chaude, nous ont fait un très gentil geste commercial pour palier au désagrément. Rien à redire !

Comme partout en Norvège, les prix restent tout de même assez élevés, mais le supplément vue mer vaut le coût !

Veldig hyggelig betjening og god atmosfære

Ikke TV på rommet

Hadde likt å kunne spise frokost på Balestrand hotel ,for å slippe å gå ned til Kviknes. Men det gikk greit.
