Overview

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. The reception includes a bar and a nice lounge area. The reception area also offers a pool table and board games available free of use for all the guests. On occasions there will be concerts, stand-up, yoga, bingo and quiz-nights. A daily breakfast buffet is available, but please note that we no longer serve it at our hotel. You can still add breakfast to your booking at Balestrand Hotel, but the breakfast is served at our neighbour hotel Kviknes Hotel - a short 2 min walk alongside the Sognefjord. All of Balestrand Hotel’s rooms have a seating area. Some have a balcony looking over the fjord, while others look back towards the mountains. WiFi and on-site private parking are free. Sogndal is a 1-hour drive from Hotel Balestrand, while Bergen is reached in 3 hours by car. The Nigard Glacier is within 2 hours’ drive.

Would highly recommend staying at the Balestrand hotel.

We loved the location and also that we didn’t feel overwhelmed with pressure to purchase “tourist” stuff. It was a great place to walk around and wander around.

What a view!

We had a seaview room. Wow! The view was wonderful!!! We could have sat on the balcony all afternoon soaking it in. The bed was comfortable, the room spacious and the shower was good. Staff were lovely and we appreciated the lift and parking. We enjoyed the coffee and croissants for breakfast, had a few games of pool and then went out for a hike and exploration of the town. So glad we stayed here!

Fabulous location for exploring the fjiords

The hotel had more of the feel of a young people's budget hotel - but nothing wrong with that. The sauna half over the fjiord that belonged to the hotel looked very good, if onle we had had time. Fabulous location and absolutely great young staff - very helpful and chatty. The art on the stairways and in the public areas were eclectic and brilliant.

Gorgeous location

Greatly situated near the Sognefjord with gorgeous views and direct access to the water (not super-accessible though so we went over to the pier at Kviknes hotel to swim). Beds were comfortable enough and the room clean. The bar downstairs had a great range of options for drinks and the staff were friendly. Short walk to restaurants.

Great little hotel with a cool vibe.

A lovely hotel with lovely touches and a great vibe. The hotel has been modernised in a basic fashion which really works. The room with the fjord was fabulous. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, the croissants were delicious but the best was swimming in the fjord just across the garden.
