Amazing place to visit!
Pros:

I had a wonderful three nights here with my family in June. This is a special hotel right on the lake. We loved the history of the hotel and the beauty all around. The meals in the beautiful dining room were excellent and everyone that works there is very friendly and helpful. We lucked out with clear sunny weather and walked to a waterfall and hiking trails right from the hotel. Hjelle was the highlight of our two-week trip in Norway. Also very convenient that they have electric car chargers for our rental car. Thank you for having us!

Pros:

Beautiful location and lots of history. Owner is wonderful. Only down side is that we came late in the season (mid September) and some of the other dining options close by were closed. Found some good places in Stryn (30 minute drive). Loved the book of suggested hikes in the area - make sure that you follow instructions/direction carefully.

Pros:

We had the most wonderful stay at the Hjelle Hotel. A must if you are in the area. The dinner each night was incredible, all food made with local ingredients and so delicious. Our 9 month old was with us and the owners went out of their way to accommodate her and provide what we needed. Also, the views from the hotel grounds are out of this world. We hope to come back one day- our stay here was a highlight of our trip to Norway.

Pros:

Dejlig beliggenhed og smuk udsigt ud over søen fra hotelværelset. Skøn morgentur. Skønt at møde rigtig værtspar i receptionen der er arrangeret i hotellet og go til at give ideer til hvad man kan fortage sig i området.

Pros:

Haben im Motel übernachtet. Zimmer sind sehr sauber und modern, Zimmerwände sind aber etwas dünn, man kann den Nachbarn schnarchen hören. Frühstück ist auch in Ordnung, wenn auch nicht ganz so reichhaltig wie an anderen Orten.

En opplevelse i norsk nasjonalromantikk
Pros:

Historisk hotell i sveitserstil. Fikk et av de største rommene i romantisk stil med balkong og utsikt mot vann og fjell. Sengene var gode, romslig bad med god plass til toalettsaker. Litteratur på rommet « tips om hva gjøre lokalt og med bil innen en time». Rommet var rent. Restauranten hadde nydelig lokal mat. Vertskapet introduserte middagen med hva vi fikk å spise samt historien om hotellets opprinnelse og utvikling. Beliggenheten, helt ypperlig blant fjord og fjell.

Un hôtel de charme dans un cadre exceptionnel
Pros:

Magnifique hôtel et environnement exceptionnel. Le cadre est sympathique, la décoration est raffinée et respecte l'architecture du bâtiment. Le motel, bien que plus simple, est un endroit agréable et confortable pour y séjourner. Le personnel est avenant.
