A charming spot to stay while visiting the fjords.
Pros:

This is a charming, somewhat offbeat hotel. The rooms were fairly basic but clean and comfortable. We had a patio right outside the room and a beach and sauna directly across from the hotel. The staff was delightful, and the breakfast was light but very good.

Cons:

Be aware that the fjord cruises don't stop in Balestrand.

Sydenfølelse i fantastiske Balestrand
Pros:

Veldig fin beliggenhet med fantastisk utsikt!
Hotellet ga oss en smak av Hellas med et flott uteområde, rett ved vannet.
Personalet var upåklagelig og servicen var langt over forventningene🥰 Enkel standard på rommene, men her sov vi virkelig godt! Deilig å våkne på morgenen, gå ut på balkongen og nyte utsikten❤️
Ønsker man frokost/mat kan jeg varmt anbefale å ta med en kupong og teste maten på Kviknes.

Vi kommer nok tilbake💕

Balestrand is a very cute town
Pros:

Very nice, comfortable. It’s right in the center of town which is pretty small. The view was awesome. The rooms are small but comfortable. The facilities are clean.

Cons:

We have nothing negative to say. Wish we stayed 2 nights instead of just 1 night

Très bonne escale à Balestrand, village charmant.
Pros:

La situation face au fjord et sa position bien centrale de l’agglomération.

Cons:

Les chambres face à la montagne ou la vue est très limitée. Le petit déjeuner très sommaire se résume à 1 ou 2 croissants et du café filtre

Pros:

Great view, good location, very attentive and pleasant staff

Cons:

Way too expensive: The room was outdated, no breakfast ( only brewed coffee and a croissant), you need to pay extra to get an espresso drink in the morning

Pros:

Chairs and table outside my room to enjoy Sun (yes, there was it).
The art around all the hotel is fresh and beautiful.
The view is beautiful 😍

Cons:

There was no convenient way (such as a ramp) to bring up wheeled suitcases; the same entrance used by cars had to be used.

Trevligt. Rekommenderar gärna.
Pros:

Fin utsikt från rummet. Balkongen. Men framförallt det charmiga och fina mottagandet och kontakten under vistelsen. Bastu. Lekmöjlighet för alla. Biljardbord mm. Enkel bar med lite av varje.

Cons:

Hade önskat frukost på hotellet. Frukosten på annat hotell var god men väldigt dyr.

An incredible value compared to the Kaviknes Hotel the street
Pros:

Very helpful and friendly staff. Love the homey and artsy feel of the place. Clean and well updated.

Cons:

It was a bit of a slog up the hill in the rain from the pier, especially with my wife’s bad knee.
