Strand Fjordhotel

Basic standard, but clean and proper. Great service, friendly staff. Good breakfast. If the weather is nice, it is recommended to enjoy the view with a glass on the terrace. All in all a pleasant and positive surprise at an ok price. Recommended if you do not need luxury and great interior.

Nice staff, clean everywhere. Dinner was good for taste absolutely, but nothing for the eye. For dessert, hot apple cake, here should probably be vanilla ice cream. Asked for it, but they didn’t, got a berry ice cream that was actually a dessert of their own. Breakfast was sparse, dry bread. The egg was very hard boiled, green edge. The apple juice container was empty. Even though it was low season, there is not much to choose from on the breakfast table, but what is there is of good quality. Nice with the balcony so one could sit outside and enjoy the great view. Large room and large bathroom, just missed something to put away toiletries and diverse on. We put in a chair for that use. One of us had birthday, around the day, lit about it in front and on the spot, but no attention as we are used to other places we have been. If the weather is nice, Ulvik is a great place to explore.

Stayed here recently and read some recent reviews as we approached town. They were not very positive reviews and this left us worried. However, we had a wonderful stay at this hotel. If you are looking for the Four Seasons and impeccable everything this place is not for you. If you enjoy a unique stay in a place with character you should have a wonderful time. Everything was very clean (keeping in mind it is not a sanitised chain hotel), the staff were very helpful. The balcony view is incredible. We stayed in a 2nd floor room and the problem from came from a guest smoking on the patio despite clear no smoking signs. We did not have dinner so I have no comments on that. Travelling from Canada, we find all the buffets in Norway to be exceptional and this location kept that consistent. Accept that you are going to a hotel that has developed its own "patina" over many years and you should have a wonderful stay.
