We were unaware that the whole area / hotel shuts down over the winter. We actually left a day early or we wouldn't have been able to catch our ferry! More info on website about this may have been helpful.

Amazing place!
If you are looking for a 5-star hotel with all facilities, please do not book here. However, if you simply want a good place to sleep, a bar with excellent vibes and welcoming staff, this is the place to be!
Sandra is an excellent host who is very welcoming and helpful to all guests. Although it was mentioned that there was no breakfast provided, she suprised us with complimentary croissants and coffee. Combine that with a wonderful view of the fjord and good weather and you have an experience that many 5* hotels can only dream of.
Nice bar with local ciders, pool table and musical atmosphere.

The location was wonderful. Even though it was 9 km away from Balestrand, it was easily accessible by bus. The meals were excellent, the rooms were very clean and the owners were very helpful.

Although the nearby restaurant was closed, there was a Coop Prix and Joker supermarkets for us to buy our grocerries. Everything was perfect. As per our request, we were given an apartment with a balcony with sea view. In fact, this was the best place we stayed during our 16 days long journey.

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!

Take the fast ferry (4 hours) from Bergen and slow down and enjoy the glorious surroundings. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the quiet. We ate our meals and enjoyed cocktails at the Kviknes Hotel. We slept at the Balestrand Hotel and enjoyed the quiet.CColleenUnited States - 10Scored 10
Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town.
Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town. Walking south along Kong Beles Veg for about 2 kilometers affords beautiful views of St. Olaf's church, the picturesque valley, the beach, the hills, and several "Swiss-style" charming old houses. A must-see is Balestrand's little beach and the deep, clear pools beside it where I sat for ages soaking up the sound of the water's tranquil lapping on the rocks and watching fish zip around way below the surface of the crystal-clear water. I even caught people swimming and sunning themselves at midday in late September! There were not many dining options post-tourist-season, but I had the soup at the chocolatery called Holmen within the main triangle of town, and though I found it overpriced (compared to prices in Bergen), it was delicious.Jennifer - 10Scored 10

Our family absolutely loved staying at Frydenlund near Balestrand. Everything in the property's information was accurate. Great hosts who helped us when we had some questions, Views are wonderful and several areas in which to relax and enjoy them. Check-in was easy as there was a door code. While we would love to return to this part of Norway we would only do so if we could also stay at Frydenlund.RichardCanada - 10Scored 10

Beautiful surroundings. Very fun to travel with a speedboat combined with historical tour. Cider house had delicious food. Highly recommendable. Perfect place for anyone who loves outdoor activities and want to be in a beautiful environment.

Beautiful location and friendly small town.
Beautiful location and friendly small town. Unfortunately it rained quite heavy in September 2019 when we were there so that we couldn't do much biking and hiking as we had anticipated, but there was still enough to do to keep us occupied the day and a half that we spent there. Dinner with a piano concert in the Kviknes Hotel was particularly memorable.
FritsUnited States - 10Scored 10
Cute town with a lot packed into a small place.
Cute town with a lot packed into a small place. Walking around town is easy. There are two grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We went to an English Mass at St Olaf's Church too. If we had arrived earlier in the day we might have had time to fish from the shores of the fjord.AmyUnited States

JoannaIndia - From £252.69 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 385 reviewsI paid extra for a fjord view room, and we got a room with a balcony in the "modern" building on the 8th floor. The view was spectacular and well worth the extra cost. The view made the entire stay! The dinner buffet was bountiful and delicious. The breakfast buffet was good, but not as amazing as the dinner. We also ate in the hotel bar one night and that food was well prepared also.

The hallways and lobbies are decorated with beautiful local photos taken throughout the year which clearly depicts the change of seasons and the beauty of nature . Certainly well worth staying at the Kringsjå Hotel .
