Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a great skylight providing a lovely view of the mountains, but they were located a bit far from the main hotel. The service was top-notch with very welcoming staff, but unfortunately, there was no soap in the bathroom. The location was stellar, right on the fjord, yet the foam mattress beds were not the most comfortable. The dining experience fell a bit short with limited food choices. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
The hotel has comfortable and quiet rooms overlooking the car park, with a minor noise issue. The service was a mix of hard-working staff but lacking helpfulness. The location is wonderful, near the Viking museum and fjords, making it ideal for Norway in a Nutshell tours. The dining was basic with cooked-to-order options but not very exciting. The hotel offers pet amenities and has vaulted, glass ceilings accommodating tour groups.
The hotel is a cozy spot nestled in the valley with a visible waterfall from the outer space. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and offer a warm and clean ambiance, though located upstairs from the toilet and showers. The service is top-notch with a personal touch, and the location is simply amazing with a great view down the fjord. The dining experience, while not super various, is tasty and enjoyable. Overall, it's a wonderful place with so-so amenities at a reasonable price.
Staying at the lodge was a cozy experience, with comfortable and spacious rooms. While the location offered incredible views of waterfalls and fjords, the service was a bit hit-or-miss. The dining options were good, but there were some limitations. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were comfortable and had a skylight that would have been perfect for stargazing if it hadn't been cloudy. The service was excellent as they recommended activities beyond the boat trips and Viking village. The location was amazing, offering access to the Voss area and a stunning view of the fjord from the restaurant. The dining experience was enjoyable with a variety of hot and cold choices. The facilities were decent, including a covered outdoor patio. However, the service lacked friendliness and soap in the bathroom, and the dining had limited selection. Despite these drawbacks, it was worth the experience due to the location and other positive aspects.
