Kviknes Hotel, hotel in Balestrand

This grand, 18th-century waterfront hotel is located in Balestrand. It offers stunning views of the surrounding Sognefjord, an elegant restaurant and modern guest rooms. Free WiFi is available.

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.

Balestrand Hotel, hotel in Balestrand

This family-run hotel is in Balestrand, by the Sogne Fjord. It has a large garden, a private beach and panoramic fjord views. Each quiet guest room includes a private bathroom.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Couldn't have asked for a better location, a very short stroll from the dock where we came in and out via boat, aswell as shops, restaurants, the museum and aquarium. Great communication from host, easy to collect the keys, and the apartment had everything we needed, including a rack to dry clothes on which was approciated. Good variety of films to watch on the tv in english, really spacious, and different bins for recycling. Would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

    It was right on the fjord and the room was very nice. The beds were comfortable and the windows had curtains to keep it dark but they opened easily and the windows also opened. It was very quiet at night. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was very good with fresh eggs and breads and many other nice foods. There was a restaurant on site w delicious dinners. There was a quick bus to balestrand and nearby good hiking. Excellent hiking.

    Very spacious living areas with fabulous long balcony overlooking the harbour. Plenty of seating available Very well-equipped kitchen including kitchen linen (lacking in other Norway apartments) Very good communication and easy access via lockbox. We really appreciated being able to access the apartment 1-2 hours early when we arrived in Balestrand Dishwasher (with tablets) A well-behaved shower that didn't flood the bathroom!!

    The hotel was beautiful, and our view was amazing. I think we got an upgrade because our room also had a kitchen which was a nice surprise! The bed was super cool and moved with a remote and it faced the windows with the view of the fjord. The staff were all very nice and helpful, and the dinner was great - honestly the best fish soup we had in our whole Norway trip! Highly recommend!

    The staff was so wonderful and accommodating. They picked us up at the ferry, and provided all sorts of amenities that we really appreciated. The feeling in the hotel is informal but cool which fits our taste. The view we had from our room was spectacular. I only regret that I didn't jump in the fjord for a swim as suggested by some of the young staff.

    Wonderful location directly on the fjord and close to the ferry, super friendly and dedicated staff, they were so kind and gave us a bigger room than we had reserved, we definitely recommend trying the restaurant - they have excellent dinner (it was the best dinner of our whole trip!), parking in front of the house

    Balestrand is a hidden gem, a pleasant little town among the beautiful mountains by a beautiful fjord. Accomodation was perfect, one of the best in my life. Clean, private, well equipped and the host - Inge is very helpful.
