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 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.

    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.

    The location of the hotel was just perfect and the view of the fjord from the room was spectacular. The room in the more modern part was very comfortable, spacious, quiet and very clean. The breakfast offered a lot of choice and was in the restaurant room with a great view of the fjord. The old part contains several lounges and a very comfortable terrace which can be used by hotel guests. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

    The hotel is located in a most beautiful natural area. Beautiful hiking trails. The staff was nice and helpful and the breakfast was very good. The room was spacious, but not as quiet since it was located above the front entrance, where we could hear all the cars and people entering the hotel.

    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 think it is one of the best apartments we have ever stayed. Very spacious with really well thought layout. View of the fjord from large well equipped balcony to spend the evening on. Despite next to harbour absolutely quiet. We only wished we stayed longer as area is phenomenal

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. They met us at the express boat and took our luggage to the hotel. They arranged an early breakfast for us on our departure day. The room was clean and comfortable with a spectacular view. It was a good value compared to other options.

    Extremely friedly hostess. Truly fantastic view. Comfortable cabin. Great for families because of the farm animals. Balestrand area offers lots of things to see and do such as great hiking, boat trips, museum, aquarium and the majestic Sognefjord.
