Pros:

Beliggenheten😀

Cons:

Vi fikk først et rom der det luktet vondt på badet kjennes ut som en intens mugglukt. Bodde der en natt men fikkbyttet til et annet rom neste natt.
Dette rommet var ok.

Pros:

Schöner Blick, wenn man die richtigen Zimmer bekommt. Die Zimmer waren sauber.

Cons:

Es riecht abends im ganzen Hotel nach Essen. Das Frühstücksbuffet war überschaubar und die Produkte waren qualitativ nicht die Besten.

Perfect stay in a stunning location
Pros:

We had two nights at the Brakanes hotel in a fjord facing family room

I really don’t understand the negative reviews, this hotel is excellent, the service from all staff incredibly friendly and the location is just breathtaking.

We ate in the restaurant one night and the food was 10/10

We hired the hot tub for an hour which was a really enjoyable experience and we were lucky enough with the weather to enjoy being able to swim in the fjord and also hired kayaks.

Yes the bathrooms are not the most modern but do what they’re meant to do, it this isn’t a sparkling modern hotel, it’s a gem of a hotel with character in one of the most picturesque settings in the world.

If you want modern and shiny go to a chain hotel, if you want an understated luxury stay in a picture perfect location I’d recommend it. And we will be back.

Se questo hotel rimodernasse le camere, sarebbe pazzesco !
Pros:

La posizione dell’hotel è bellissima. Il ristorante offre dei piatti più che buoni. Oltre le aspettative

Cons:

Le camere sono assolutamente da rinnovare . Vecchie, in un bagno c’era della muffa attorno al lavandino e la doccia con la tenda non si può più vedere .

Flott hotell i idylliske omgivelser, men dårlig service!
Pros:

Nydelig hotell i flotte omgivelser! God frokost!

Cons:

Vi fikk naborom til heisens maskinrom. Medførte stadige rystelser og jevnlig bråk og støy. Fikk ikke bytte rom, selv om hotellet sa de kjente til problemet med rommet.! Betalte ekstra for å oppgradere til nytt rom. Opplevde det som dårlig service! Burde fått nytt rom automatisk!
