Pros:

The hotel was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient for exploring the surrounding area.

Cons:

The advertised views were quite disappointing. Instead of scenic views, our room mostly overlooked bushes and vegetation.

The hotel was also extremely crowded with large groups of Asian tourists, who were unfortunately very noisy and often inconsiderate of other guests. This significantly affected the otherwise peaceful atmosphere we had expected.

Costly but simple
Pros:

Expensive, simple room in a camping environment, not hotel-standard.
The only thing talking for this so-called hotel is the surroundings.

masslos überteuerter und enttäuschender Touristennepp
Pros:

bis auf eine Ausnahme eines Kellners im Seafoodrestaurant war das Personal sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Das Hotel hat zwar drei Sterne, verdient aber kaum zwei, obwohl es den Preis eines 5+ Nobelhotels hat. Die Zimmerausstattung auch der Wikingerzimmer ist äusserst karg, immerhin ein Wasserkocher, aber dann nur Pappbecher und billiger Instantkaffee. Das Badezimmer ist ein Duschraum mit Klo, eher das einer Jugendherberge. Keine Toilettenartikel, nur zwei Seifenspender und ein abschliessbarer Toilettenpapierhalter mit dünnstem Papier, erinnernd an eine Flughafentoilette. Der Clou des Zimmers ist ein Glasdach. Je nach Zimmerlage hat man Blick auf eine Felswand mit dünnem Wasserfall oder eine Felswand mit Bushaltestelle. Das Glasdach scheint seit 1998 nicht mehr gereinigt worden zu sein, ebensowenig wie der Spannteppich. Das Glasdach kann durch eine Art Segel abgedeckt werden, jedoch schliesst dieses nicht lichtdicht, sondern lässt grosse Spalten frei. Daher kann man in den Sommermonaten das Zimmer nicht abdunkeln: nichts für lichtempfindliche Schläfer. Auch das Frühstücksbuffet ist seinen Namen kaum wert: nicht umfangreich und lieblos angerichtet. Auch hier zeigt sich das Problem eines Monopols: im kleinen Ort gibt es keine Konkurrenz, die wenigen Unterkünfte gehören alle einem Unternehmer und konzentrieren sich hauptsächlich darauf, Reisegruppen und Tagestouristen durchzuschleusen. Hier besser nicht übernachten, sondern durchreisen. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist unter jeder Kritik.

Overpriced and underwhelming.
Pros:

Quiet isolated spot on the edge of the Fjord. Beautiful scenery. Seafood restaurant was good but pricey.

Cons:

Basic rooms that were reminiscent of school trips. Tv didn’t work and we were on the edge of a car park that had a constant stream of tourist coaches.

Pros:

Perfect location for the cruise: It is located right in front of the Gudvangen port, making it incredibly convenient to take the cruise.

Beautiful scenery: The views of the fjord were absolutely stunning.

Mini-kitchen: Having a mini-kitchen in the room was very handy and practical

Cons:

Construction noise and dust: The port was under construction, which made the surroundings very dusty and noisy.

Overpriced and cramped: At 890,000 KRW, it was way too expensive, especially considering the room and bathroom were extremely small.

Poor dining and service: The breakfast was terrible, and the staff's attitude and service were quite unfriendly.

Lacking a hotel atmosphere: The reception and breakfast area felt more like a highway rest stop than a proper hotel.

Pros:

Loved the location and the rooms were nice

Cons:

Late check in by the night manager could have been a bit more thorough. Would've appreciated being provided the wifi password as well as the breakfast vouchers we needed for the morning (our rooms were booked inclusive of breakfast)

Underwhelming
Pros:

Overpriced for a very mediocre experience. Clean and basic, think youth hostel with a private bathroom for an extortionate price. Wouldn’t do more than one day.

Gorgeous views in Gundvagen
Pros:

Incredible location right at the edge of the fjord nestled between high cliffs - very picturesque! Loved the nearby Viking Village. And the included breakfast was fantastic. We also had dinner at the seafood restaurant on site, which had excellent food and service. The beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

We stayed in one of the family cabins and the bathroom is on the lower level but the bedrooms were on the upper level.
