Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: 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.
Negative: 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.
Summary: Expensive for what it is

Positive: 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.
Negative: 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.
Summary: Magnificent hotel and setting perfect for relaxing

Positive: Interesting little town and the old part of the hotel is charming.
Negative: This place is set up for the big cruise drop off. It’s a big place in a quaint town and the newer part info the hotel is finished as cheaply as possible. I’d advise staying in another town if you aren’t cruising.

Positive: The old world charm of the historic building was delightful. Breakfast in the old building was excellent.
Negative: We had a room in the "modern building" which was not modern at all. Rooms were very small, cold and unwelcoming. Balcony had a concrete railing with a painted pipe on top. Yuk. No sense of luxury at all. Very much an economy room. We had to ask for shampoo. No bathmat for the shower. And is there some reason every hotel on the planet does not yet have a USB charging port on each side of the bed????
Summary: Cold room in historic setting. Way overrated unless staying in the historic building.
