Geiranger Hotel

This is an older hotel undergoing renovation - we noticed a sign saying go ask for a ‘deluxe’ room if you want one of the renovated one. We had an older room and it was fine. It was the largest room of all the hotels we stayed on this trip and we were pleasantly surprised to have a bathtub (which we use often at home). We were able to open the door fully to let the outside air in which was great to cool the room down. Every other hotel has been too hot without anyway to cool off. The bed was very comfortable, pillows and duvets were better than the other hotels. Location was great by the boat dock and bus station. I would not have wanted to drag my suitcase uphill to the other hotels. Breakfast buffet was good with lots of selection. Would recommend this hotel if you’re coming by boat or bus and walking. Easy to access the very few restaurants in this tiny town and the only grocery store. Also close to the trails.

We stayed one night here on our motorcycle tour of Norway. It's OK to park motorcycles next to the entrance. We were allocated a twin room at the back on the ground floor of the annexe next to the laundry room; the washing machines and driers were loudly audible, but I was reassured by the notice on the laundry room door that it closed at 9pm. However the machines were still in action at 10:30, so I complained to reception, who had given permission for someone to use them at that hour; they quickly closed it down, thankfully. There is a bar with fjord view in the main building. The breakfast buffet was extensive.

The rooms were old-fashioned, but this is one of the few hotels that has bathtubs! We had a room with a view of Geirangerfjord, which was fantastic to see at sunrise and sunset. The patent on the door to the balcony was a little difficult to understand at first. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the cod and lamb in the restaurant tasted very good. Breakfast was okay, but the hot food was lukewarm to cold, which was a letdown. The hotel does not have its own parking. If you are there during the season, I recommend getting there early. We were there at the end of the summer season and found easy parking right by Jokeren. Get the EasyPark app for payment.
