Prachtig hotel, mooie omgeving. Zeer vriendelijk personeel.

It’s a very crowd place with lots of tourist busses
Location
You see the historical building and then you find out you are in the 1960’s Howard Johnson building.
Hier stimmt wirklich alles: Tolle Lage, freundliches Personal, ausgezeichnete Küche!
Der historische Teil ist sehr gepflegt und gibt eine tolle Atmosphäre. Das Dinner im Speisesaal direkt am Fenster hat uns sehr gefallen.
Der Aussenbereich ermöglichen eine schöne Aussicht auf den Sognefjord und die umgebende Bergwelt.
Die meisten Zimmer sind nicht im historischen Teil, sind gut eingerichtet und erfüllen ihren Zweck.
Zugang zum Nassraum durch hohe Schwelle nicht barrierefreien. Unangenehm war die Ausstattung des Badezimmers mit einer Badewanne, eine Dusche hätten wir deutlich bevorzugt.
Tolles historisches Hotel. Die Aussicht beim Frühstück toppt alles. Das Frühstück ebenfalls. Parkplatz am Hotel im Hof. Super schöne große Zimmer mit Blick auf den Fjord. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal.
Gibt nichts 😊
the location had perhaps the best views of our entire trip. It was surreal and wonderful to eat breakfast and look out over the fjords. Quite Magnificent. We missed dinner but ate breakfast and it was wonderful. Plenty to eat. Did try the local cider from the cider huset and it was perhaps the best I had ever had. Room was comfortable and roomy with beautiful view. Hotel was literally steps away from the ferry dock so only had to walk about 50 meters with our luggage.

Excellent property, great location
No short comings
Location was central. Room was clean and adequate. Staff came in each day to make the beds and change the towels.
It’s not a 4 star hotel. Either in terms of service or facilities.
Room was pretty basic.
Tea and coffee making facilities consisted of a kettle, sachets of instant coffee or earl grey tea and paper cups.
Breakfast was poor. Lots of things ran out and weren’t replaced. Fried eggs were cold. The staff made it feel hectic as they seemed overwhelmed (despite it being low season) and were physically running around the dining room clearing tables but then causing dirty cutlery / napkins / crockery to go flying all over the floor in their haste. Tea and coffee was supposed to be served to you but staff couldn’t keep up, so most people were sat without a drink for much of breakfast.
There is a lovely cosy bar that overlooks the fjord but it was closed. Instead the only bar available was shoe-horned into reception with no views. Service was poor - when we asked about the menu which was in Norwegian we were told by the barmaid that it was self explanatory. We ordered a large beer and then were told they only did small beers but we could get two of those.
Tea and coffee was available in a room adjacent to reception one day, then the next day they had an event on so the public areas weren’t accessible to us and tea and coffee wasn’t on.
It’s a telling sign when they don’t ask you at check out whether everything was ok with your stay…
Overall disappointing and we wouldn’t stay again.
Beliggenhet, salongene, personalet
Intet
J ai aimé la beauté de l hôtel, le charme et l emplacement idéal
Je n ai pas apprécié du tout le manque de charme total de la chambre qui n était pas dans l hôtel de charme mais un bâtiment annexe collé à l hôtel . J ai eu l impression de m être fait un peu avoir sur la prestation!
Beautiful setting and fabulous evening buffet
Room was very warm at night. We turned the thermostat down, but that didn’t help. They only had heavy quilts, which were very warm to sleep under.
Excelente hotel de estilo y categoria superior, Hermoso ! Mobiliario de epoca. Salones amplos con vistas increibles al los fiordos. Hermosa experiencia habernos alojado en el kvknes Hotel,. El restaurante muy bueno , la atencion de su personal siempre amables tanto en la recepcion y restaurante . Fue una gran experiencia haberlo elegido.
Nada que decir.
Frokosten var veldig bra og beliggenheten var flott. Bodde dessverre ikke på den gamle delen av hotellet da den var under renovering, var å smugtittet litt i gangene der og det så flott ut. Hadde rom i den "nye"delen av hotellet og det var helt ok.
Hadde problem med å få tilpasset temperaturen på vannet i dusjen, kan jo være en del av at rommet var i 7 etasje. Informerte personale om dette da vi sjekket ut.
L'accueil à L'hôtel était très bien.
L'hôtel historique est magnifique. Les salles pour se rendre au petit déjeuner splendides.
Le bar pour dîner est très bien.
I really want to rave about this property but it’s extremely expensive for what it is.
Reformed rooms, comfortable bed, delicious dinner at the bar (paid for in addition to the room), great service, and lovely view. Parking available at the property.
Having traveled around Norway for 2 weeks, this is waaaay more expensive than similar properties. Despite all the good things, we couldn’t get over the price point vs the offering. Also, I understand no hot buffet for breakfast with so few guests, however a menu of options would be helpful.
Betalte først for et billig rom, så fikk jeg pengene igjen fordi det var utsolgt. Så booket jeg på nytt og betalte 500 kr mer, men likevel fikk vi det billigste og kjipeste rommet. Det var to enkelsenger på rommet og jeg bestilte dobbelseng. Vi skulle feire bryllupsdag😔
This hotel is magnificent, the whole experience is splendid. I would return with great joy. The breakfast is incredible, the view in the dining room is spectacular. Just staying at this hotel is worth the trip to Balestrand. They placed us at the top floor in the new building, with a beautiful view part fjord part town and they gave us rooms all next to each other which was very mindful, we appreciated it a lot as it made our stay practical and more enjoyable. It seemed all their rooms have great view. The decor of the hotel is really beautiful both inside and outside, the whole setting in the middle of the fjords is from another world, it's very relaxing, it makes great photos. The checkout at 12pm makes it even greater as we can really relax, of course we can leave our luggage after checkout. The twin rooms are spacious, with a bath and a sofa area, the beds are very comfortable. Supermarket stores are very close by foot, the ferry is right behind the hotel just 5min away. I highly recommend staying at this hotel if you come to Balestrand, it is worth it. Their restaurant is good, I enjoyed their special burger. The staff at the restaurant was very friendly and chic, we felt very well taken care of. I honestly doubted Balestrand was worth visiting as there didn't seem much to do, but just experiencing this hotel makes it worth it and you can make it into the relaxing step of your journey. You can access the point of interests of Balestrand by walk from the hotel.
It's too bad the hotel doesn't organize a tour to the Urnes Stave church, we didn't have a car and would have appreciated this tour particularly. But if other activities were proposed we would have been interested too but unfortunately I didn't see other activities organized by the hotel either.
The buffet dinner is so expensive: 850 NOK. I would have liked to check it out but the price was really too exagerated. Fortunately if you have the breafast included you can still experience their superb dining room during breakfast. Also their bar serves regular meals with regular prices. But too bad for the buffet!
The only reason I don't put a 10 is the staff, some of the staff could be nicer. I asked the receptionist if it was possible to borrow five spoons, and instead of telling me kindly yes it is possible, and that I could get them at the bar, she didn't answer and dismissed me by telling me to go check this with the bar which left me with the impression she didn't know. Surprised I asked if she knew or not if it's possible since it is the reception! and then only she said yes it's possible go ask the bar, not in a nice way. Disappointing.
