We must admit we were a little worried about this hotel after having read some of the reviews, but we were extremely impressed with our stay. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The shower room was simple, but it was perfectly clean and there was always plenty of hot water. The big " plus" for the hotel was the whole atmosphere the owners and staff have created - friendly and welcoming. The entrance , lounge and dining areas are stripped back and simple but it all works well. Breakfast service was a surprise ( as we thought there was no breakfast) - coffee and fresh, warm croissants - and one of the best views down the Fjord in Balestrand - what's not to like?

A beautiful apartment overlooking the fjord at Balestrand. The apartment is so warm, clean and comfortable, with stunning views from all the rooms. The kitchen is really well appointed. We were travelling in the shoulder season so all the restaurants were closed but there was a supermarket to buy groceries. We ate on the balcony overlooking the view.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but we absolutely loved our stay so we had to! The place is in perfect location, has one of the most amazing views I’ve seen and is very spacious. The owner was very quick to reply, and very accommodating. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated so the current photos don’t do it justice! We were very warm and comfortable and it was nice to catch up on some washing. Highly recommend staying here!

It was very well cleaned, linen freshly washed, there was the chance to do the recycling of the rubbish and there were the cups for espresso coffee (extremely important for Italians 😉). The umbrellas at the entrance are a sign of warm welcome.

We didn't plan any activities in Balestrand, so for a short stay it was amazing, the town has what you would need though if you have a longer stay, but that would certainly require better planning for activities to visit surrounding areas and Fjords...

This place is a gem. Peaceful and beautiful appointed.

This place is a gem. Peaceful and beautiful appointed. It exceeded expectations. My family and I didn't want to leave! We enjoyed the breakfast and dinners, the food is exceptional. It's close to trails, so plenty of exploring to do. The views and property is so lovely it is just as enticing to stay in and enjoy the space. It is on our dream list to return. It is a trek to go to Balestrand if you don't have a car, however, the hotel offers a shuttle if you plan ahead. This was a concern prior to getting there as we didn't have a car, however, once there we didn't want to leave so it worked out.

We stayed in Balestrand on a Sunday, so our experience could be very different than a stay on a normal day. Everything was easily within walking distance from our hotel stay at Kringsja (a quirky little hotel full of charm). It was quiet and peaceful. Be sure to have dinner at Baalee Restaurant. In our 10 day road trip through Norway with (6) stops - this was the best meal we had. My family of (4) had different dishes and all were top notch. The proprietor clearly cares about quality and comfort - she was great! Great views all around and be sure to visit St. Olaf's church and sign the guestbook!

The tourist info center needs to clarify communications.

The tourist info center needs to clarify communications. some sites say boats are running when they are not. we always seemed to be a day behind when trying to schedule excursions. that was a frustration. your map of the villsge, while artistic, was hard to read. a traditional map is needed. food-fantadtic and friendly.

It's a lovely hotel, very basic, but the rooms are lovely and the access to the fjord, with the sauna and fire pit by the water is lovely. And they allow pets. I loved seeing the other guests' dogs. (Travelling there from USA couldn't bring my dog but enjoyed the company of other guests' dogs!)

I'm glad we chose to spend even 1 extra day in the fjord country. It's an easy ferry ride from Flam, and so much more peaceful and quiet than the tourist frenzy in Flam, so I'm very glad we got to experience it. I wish we had more than one night there, but it is a very small town and there isn't a whole lot to do. We could've stayed longer and done some hiking. We tried to do the Balestrand Aquarium, but it was a Sunday, so either opened late, or just didn't open that day, so we didn't see it. A local, however, told us that it's under new ownership and not much of an aquarium anymore. I would've loved to have seen what type of wildlife actually inhabits the fjords, so was a little disappointed not to see whatever aquarium was there. We did splurge on the buffet dinner at the Kviknes hotel. It is a beautiful hotel with a beautiful view, but I was disappointed in the food, especially for the price. For example, the cheese selections were not tasty. I appreciate that they keep to traditional and local Norwegian foods, but while there was a lot of variety, some of it wasn't very good. I had been looking forward to some delicious Norwegian cheese on tasty bread, and was disappointed. The bread was just bread, nothing outstanding. I did love the salmon and the bread pudding. I had read many other reviews that raved about the food. Maybe on our night, the selection just didn't suit my palette, so if it is something that appeals to you, do try it. I am glad we did. The city itself is small, so easily walkable, and we enjoyed strolling on the quiet streets and seeing the Viking burial mounds. I had communicated with Balestrand Adventures about renting bikes to explore more of the area, but our timing just didn't work out. They seem to have lots of other activities that may be worth checking out. Another full day for us would have been ideal, so don't cut yourself too short on time in this beautiful town.

We went with lower expectations to this hotel, but we were so wrong. We had fjord view from the room and it was amazing. The room was big and clean, the balcony offered us a wonderful view to the landscape and the staff was friendly. I would definitely come back to this hotel.
