Had to ask for another towel to use as a bathmat. Breakfast buffet which is included is wonderful, and the village of Balestrand idylic. ##### linlark Verified ### 8/10 Good #### California Swede 9 Jul 2014 Liked: Staff & service #### Amazing location The hotel is in an amazing location. Magnificent views are seen from every location in the hotel, and there are many gorgeous places to sit outside as well. The art and antique furniture in the lobby areas is beautiful. It is a truly unique hotel that is able to match the magnificence of the fiords. The staff was incredibly helpful, polite, and friendly. We wouldn't hesitate returning if we were in Norway again. ##### California Swede Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Shannon World Traveler 1 Sept 2013 Liked: Staff & service #### Best Hotel in Balestrand I did a lot of research before arriving at my decision to stay at the Kviknes. The rooms are slightly dated (quick tip: spend the extra cash for a room with a view) but the restaurant, cafe, and gift shop are the best! ##### Shannon World Traveler Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Elke aka Rosalie 10 Jul 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### location, location The view of the hotel was fabulous as we arrived on the ferry. We loved sitting on the veranda at the front overlooking the fjord. We were supposed to be in the new wing, but they gave us 2 rooms that adjoined thru the bathroom in the old part. They were nicely decorated and had the best view. Only problem was no lift. Lots of stairs. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel has lots of history and has tons of antigue decoration. ##### Elke aka Rosalie Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Owain1845 9 Jul 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Beautiful location Great place to stay on a Norway in a Nutshell trip. They should somehow find a way to remove or refurbish the 1960's addition (which many hotels seem to have) that distracts from the original Victorian lodge. ##### Owain1845 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### xsxssx 27 May 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Every were you point a camera is a perfect pic.

The breakfast was amazingly varied and very tasty. We spent a couple of days in and near the town, walking and relaxing; we also took a loop trip to Forde over the high mountains -- marvelous views from the pass and great scenery on the tundra. ##### Anonymous Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anonymous 25 Jul 2011 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Historic Hotel with a special Historic Hotel with a special location.

There is an historic building and a rather plain, ordinary building (where we stayed). The room was clean and spacious, but nothing special. However, the view was incredible.

Owners were so nice. The hotel has been in the family for several generations. They gave us a book and explained the history behind the hotel. It is like stepping back in time. The palors are filled with antique furniture and priceless works of art. It was such a treat to stay there. The dinner buffet was first class. Gorgeous dining room overlooked the beautiful fjords. We had a room with a balcony on the seventh floor. We had the most wonderful view of the fjords and mountains with waterfalls streaming down. We would walk along the shoreline and watch the starfish among the seaweed. Unbelievable place to take photos. A Kodak moment everywhere you look! Colorful variety of flowers throughout the grounds. We realized after arriving we were already wishing we had a much longer stay! ##### Anonymous ---
