Kviknes Hotel - Balestrand

Beautiful hotel! Stopped here for 1 day from our boat tour. Lots of history here, great breakfast, and the historical rooms downstairs were fun to explore. Highly recommend walking around town, and if you like a good hike check out Raudmelen.

Prächtiges Hotel allerdings etwas in die Jahre gekommen mit vielen historischen Kunstwerken eingerichtet! Die Lage und die Aussicht auf den Sognefjord ist sensationell. Das Abendessen war sehr gut, die Tische waren toll eingedeckt aber es war sehr voll und somit war es sehr laut. Die Servicemitarbeiter waren sehr bemüht und freundlich. Es gab kostenlose Parkplätze vor der Tür.

What a magical place, straight out of a fairytale! We spent one night in this little town of only 2,000 people thanks to ChatGPT 🙂
Not much going on at this time of year, but just walking around and taking in the views was more than enough.

The hotel has two buildings: a modern one from the 70s and a historic one from the 19th century. Since it’s historic, don’t expect modern rooms — everything is preserved and protected — but that’s exactly what makes it so charming. Totally worth spending a night there.

Dinner was excellent, whether you go for the buffet or the 5-course menu. We had the buffet and it was amazing. Great wine selection too, especially the French ones. Breakfast was out of this world, and lunch at the bar — the burger in particular — was sooo good.

We’d definitely come back. I can only imagine how stunning it must be in June or July!

A wonderful experience in this historic hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They gave great hiking advice.|We enjoyed the excellent breakfast buffet each morning with incredible views of the water and boats. The evening smorgasbord was also delicious. We enjoyed walking throughout the historic rooms on the main floor and enjoyed a game of cribbage one evening in one of the rooms.|The grounds were beautiful and a great place to stroll and take in the views.|Loved our Demi suite. Large and very comfortable with amazing views from the windows and our deck.|We were able to charge our rental right at the hotel which was a plus.|There was no coffee in the lobby for guests. We had to pay at the bar for a cup. Only negative.|Delightful stay!

Amazing views from hotel of mountains and fjord. This historic hotel has an elegant charm and delicious food. Plenty of choice for breakfast and dinner and is very popular with the locals. Cheaper rooms can be found in the 1960's block and although slightly dated are very clean and comfortable and do have a certain charm. Our room included a sofa, armchair and balcony with fantastic views. Very good deals for this hotel can be found through Newmarket Holidays, which includes flights, transport to hotel and two intineries.

We stayed in the historic side of the hotel with a fjord view and a private balcony. Overall, the room was nice, but nothing spectacular (aside from the wonderful view). There were a lot of holes in the wall where they’ve had things hanging before and never patched. Our room was directly above a lower level balcony area where people stayed late talking into the evening and could easily be heard in our room.

The dinner buffet and the breakfast buffet were both excellent. There are all sorts of options to choose from and the service in the restaurant area was always excellent.

This is a place we would stay again, albeit only if we got a better deal on the cost.

Mooi aan de buitenkant maar vanbinnen lopen ze de kantjes eraf. We betaalden 4300 NOK per nacht voor een kleine suite, om daar dan goedkope oploskoffie te vinden en afgeleefd meubilair. Ook de matrassen zijn van het goedkope soort en het sanitair verdient een mega opfrisbeurt. Van ijskoud naar gloeiend heet en weer terug, in een cyclus van 15 seconden. Dat verwacht je niet van een klassehotel, een titel waar ze wat mij betreft geen aanspraak op kunnen maken als ze niet bereid zijn om wat te investeren. Onze mail naar het management werd lauw onthaald. Ze zullen denken: die toeristen komen hier toch nooit terug en de (vette) rekening is betaald.

Charmant historisch hotel met authentiek interieur. Jammer dat de familie Kvikne op de centen let: geen douchegel, oploskoffie op de kamer, goedkope matrassen, een mini-tv en verouderd sanitair met ronduit gevaarlijke douche die cyclisch van koud naar schroeiend heet gaat. En dat voor 4300 NOK per nacht voor een minisuite. Als klap op de vuurpijl werd het hotel tijdens ons verblijf ingepalmd door het Euro Rally evenement met luid loeiende sportwagens en hun soms even ongegeneerde eigenaren. Onze mail naar het management werd lauw onthaald. Ze zullen denken: die toeristen komen toch niet terug en de (vette) rekening is betaald.
