Was worth the splurge for a once in a lifetime visit to Norway. So worth it!!!
Pros:

The breakfast and the Michelin dinner were amazing. The most beautiful breakfast buffet I think I’ve ever seen. The gardens are absolutely lovely. The location is charming. The owner is very friendly, entertaining, and fascinating as he discusses the history of the hotel, Norway , and the art that they have. The premium room was splendid.

Cons:

Everything was splendid.

Pros:

Hôtel idyllique en bordure du fjord. Une adorable bâtisse au charme d'antan On se croirait dans plongé dans un roman d'Agatha Christie. Les chambres décorées à l'ancienne sont somptueuses et l'hôtel est un vrai cocon dans lequel on se laisse choyer par un personnel aux petits soins. Repas excellent et petit déjeuner somptueux baigné par une ambiance jazzy. Qui plus est l'hôtel est face à l'embarcadère du petit ferry.

Cons:

de notre point de vue tout était parfait

Et nydelig sted, et sted vi alltid vil huske og gjerne kommer tilbake til !
Pros:

Har vært på Walaker Hotel tidligere og opplevd den helt spesielle og fine stemningen på hotellet og ved stedet Solvorn. Hadde igjen et veldig fint opphold med nydelig mat, vakre omgivelser og et hotel med sjel. Fantastisk god service, alt gjøres for at det skal bli et fint og minneverdig opphold. Det ble det!

Cons:

NA - har ikke noe på listen :)
