The bathroom is more of a wet room and its setup makes it difficult to shower without getting the rest of the bathroom wet. Nonetheless I’d put up with it for the amazing breakfast!

A homey family run hotel which is conveniently located in Balestrand. The owner is extremely kind and friendly and offered great tips on where to eat. While the hotel is a bit run down, there is a shabby chic vibe to the whole place which we didn’t mind at all. The hotel also has great communal areas (kitchen, living room type spaces, laundry facilities, dining room) for guests. But the best part about Kringsja Hotel its amazing breakfast!! We were blown away by the selection and quality! There was ample to choose from - eggs, bacon, many types of bread, lots of cheeses, cold cut meats, fish in tomato sauce, waffles, cereal, fruits, juices, yoghurt drinks, coffee and tea. I definitely recommend staying here!!

This hotel is quite old and could definitely use some updating. The hallways smelled a bit and the bathrooms were made for small children. There is no separate shower, everything is together in the bathroom. The sink is at about knee height for average to tall individuals.

The staff was pleasant and friendly and gave good recommendations of restaurants in town. The free breakfast was decent and there were also full kitchens for guests to use. The views from the balcony were the best part of staying here! Really lovely view of the fjord. The room was quite clean and had everything we needed. There was ample free parking in a lot by the entrance.

The shower is separated only by curtain no other barrier, leaving most of the floor wet. In addition there was no designated bath mat, just used one of the towels. The hotel is located uphill - just something to consider. The warm foods in the breakfast buffet were not ready at the beginning of service time, relevant if you're catching an early ferry.

The hotel is reasonably priced compared to other similar hotels in Balestrand. The room was spacious and with a great view. The breakfast buffet was not large, but with sufficient selection.

Superb views of the Fjorde and Mountains . This beautiful village is steeped in history and cultural experiences. 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 .

Nice big corner room with a View balcony. Quiet hotel a little above the village. The owner was very helpful and friendly.

Perhaps, a second set of pillows would be a nice add-on. This is just a suggestion for a small improvement :)

The reception was just superb, we haven't met such a friendly and welcoming hotel staff members in a while! I found the shabby chic of the hotel really charming, and all the perks (a game room, guest kitchens, entertainment area) made us feel like at home :) The view requires a separate mention, it's just stunning.

Restaurants close early in Balestrand, we could not have dinner. (Shared kitchen is available but we did not bring groceries) Bathroom sink and toilet were very low, seems older but was clean.

Great view from balcony (room on third floor). Quiet. Good breakfast. Common areas look older but room has been renovated.

Very very nice staff, very clean the rooms and all facilities! Breakfast was good too!

The bathroom is extremely small and the sink was literally at knee level. It didn’t impact our short stay, but definitely something to be aware of and/or improve.

One of the best views we’ve ever had! Simply breathtaking. The rooms were a fine size and beds were comfortably. Staff (Magnar) was very friendly and provided great recommendations. Nice common areas for games and lounging.

We were looking for a place to stay between Flam and Geiranger. We are happy that we went a little out of our way to visit Balestrand and stay at Kringsjå Hotel. After we missed a ferry and called them, they accommodated a late check in. Our room was a clean and comfortable. It had a great view over Sognefjorden, very iconic. Breakfast was very good. There was plenty of parking. Balestrand made for a really pleasant morning walk.
