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.

We arrived very late - greeted kindly and welcomed ++. The room was wonderful - spacious and overlooking the fjord. The best part was the lovely polite, gentle and welcoming staff. Nothing too much trouble. We wished we had stayed much longer... Thank you Dragsvik - we hope to return.

The location was great. Local streets offered plenty of restaurants, groceries, and public transport. We walked everywhere and loved being close to the Vondelpark and museums. The bathroom was large.

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.

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.
Staff: Very friendly and helpful. We felt that we made new friends with the youthful team.
Pool table: Fun to hang out in the evening and play
Location, location, location. Beautiful view right outside your window with a small balcony for reading.
Jumping into the fjord from the stone steps in front of the property. Simply beautiful view while floating on my back. There is also a sauna that can be rented through a separate company via a website.
Bring a good book and be prepared to slow down and breathe.
Everything! Balestrand is the most beautiful place. And the view from our comfortable and well equipped little cabin was stunning. Inge, our host, was there to welcome us and was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We could not fault our choice of location. The walking is amazing. May is reasonably quiet there, which suited us fine. The weather was incredible. No rain for the entire week. According to Inge, it was the best May he has ever known... he's lived there all his life and he's 69!!!
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.
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!!
Nice quiet setting with a stunning view of the fjord. John was very helpful at the front desk and very attentive. Even saw us downtown and tried to help us with a fjord boat booking, only to find out for us they were off that day for their son's confirmation. Very nice little town as well with access to nice hike in woods on top of the hill.
Very spacious, beautiful view, different seating areas (deck, sunroom, living room), very helpful hosts, short drive in to town, better appliances than we have at home! We loved staying at Frydenlund and Balestrand. If we return to this part of Norway again, we would have to stay at Frydenlund.
Such a lovely hotel with breathtaking views. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. We had breakfast and dinners there during our stay and were so pleased. the food is exceptional and the presentation is top notch, We would definitely recommend staying here!
Seriously one of the best service we ever got, the lady of the hotel (owner) offered us a ride from the ferry to the hotel. We said we like to walk, so she took our backpacks. really clean hotel and amazingly friendly service, I recommend everyone
it is very close to the ferry pier and a few restaurants in town (2 min walk). it’s very spacious and has a nice stocked kitchen and a washing machine. Hot shower, comfy beds, great view - at half the price of hotels - loved it!
Great huge apartment on the waterfront. Our group of 5 adults had plenty of room. We had a large deck overlooking the water. Convenient location to restaurants and the grocery store. I would highly recommend this apartment.
Fantastic view from the room and breakfast area.
Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Comfy bed.
Free parking right in front of the hotel.
We also had diner in the hotel restaurant and food was great.
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.
Smooth check-in late in the evening, rustic interior and cute exterior, clean rooms, nice breakfast buffet and very good location in Balestrand.
A parking spot was available for us.
Great for families! Toys for young children and trampoline were a bonus. Spacious, light and airy. Great views from balconies. Superb location for local attractions and restaurants.
The location is perfect, right in the centre of Balestrand. From the main room of the apartment, there is a great view of the fjord. There is a nice restaurant right next door.
