We arrived at Balestrand Hotel with my boyfriend before the season started. Sandra the owner told us the whole story about it and how her family renovated it to give it a very modern style. She is extremely nice! The hotel has an incredible view to the sea and in August they hold a mini music festival. If you’d like a pop kind of experience, mixed with great service and facilities this is the place. I highly recommend it!

We had a room with a view out to the fjord and we were so happy that we did. The view is beautiful and this is gem of a hotel. Very friendly atmosphere, easy to walk anywhere in Balestrand and tasty croissants and coffee in the morning. We loved our stay.

WOW, what a place! Great accommodations, friendly staff, comfortable beds, great restaurant nearby, shower was hot and great water pressure and a view to die for. I don’t know how it can get better than this. Love this place. If you are in Norway, this is it.

A very artistic hotel with better accommodations than Oslo. It did not offer much in food selections. In fact had to go to the big hotel for food. Which was cool with me. It was a great hotel with its staff and the views. It was great with sea view and new furnishings.

We booked a private sauna + for 3 people. We arrived on time, the sauna was not hot enough (40^C), the floor was dirty and wet, and the towels&rubs that we reserved were not there. We asked the lady that hosted us to take care of this, and while she brought the towels&rubs (although one of them was wet), she dismissed our request regarding the hygiene and temperature of the sauna. Our request regarding the firepit was also ignored. The lady came at the end of the session, opened all doors and announced that we have only 3 minutes left and should get out. We asked for our 3 minutes to change cloths and left with an unpleasant feeling of disappointment.

Wonderful stay at Balestrand Hotel. The owner was very accommodating and the fjord-facing rooms had stunning views. Despite most restaurants and stores being closed until mid-April, the town had a charming atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area and taking in the serene surroundings. Highly recommend as a 1 or 2-night stop for those relaxing in the area. For those doing Norway in a Nutshell, I strongly recommend including a stop in Balestrand and taking the express ferry to Bergen. It's a beautiful journey and the perfect way to experience the stunning scenery of the fjords.

Beautiful hotel, apart from the concrete 60s addition. However this enables more people to take advantage of the facilities. From David the Maitre'D to all levels of staff they couldn't be more helpful.Always very clean.Food was tasty although a bit repetitive as we were half board. A la carte menu looked very good and lunch was excellent. We were lucky enough to be there during the only hot sunny week this summer which was a huge bonus! All in all a brilliant week. Travelled with Newmarket holidays who organised everything, and all the trips so well. Steve our tour guide was the best I've ever experienced.

Our stay was unpleasant from the start: the clerk told us that we still needed to pay the hotel (we had already paid weeks earlier through ***********). She was unconvinced by an actual confirmation and receipt from *********** -- as well as a screenshot of our credit card statement that showed payment!! This was only resolved through a very long call and wait time with *********** (what a way to spend hours of your holiday!). *********** finally had to call the hotel to set them straight. Beyond that, the wifi is poor to non-existent. I finally gave up and used expensive mobile data from my phone to get Internet. There are much better hotels to stay at in Balestrand. Avoid this one.
