100% good stay here from our arranged pick up and warm greeting at the hotel. Our cabin was clean and comfortable with amazing views over the fjord to the mountains. Breakfast was plenty with choices of hot or,cold food just ask staff if you want hot food and also ham and cheese from the fridge which I thought was a good idea instead of it being out in warm weather. Lots of wildlife to see if you sit quietly out in the wooded natural grounds, including a nuthatch and red squirrel. You can hear owls at night. Staff really friendly,hardworking too. Nothing is too much trouble and advice for bus,ferry is willingly given. No tea/coffee in cabins so take a supply.

“Incredible and cozy hotel for an enjoyable stay”

We had the most charming welcome by the hosts, they are extra accommodating and friendly and made us feeling very much at home.

We had the most charming welcome by the hosts, they are extra accommodating and friendly and made us feeling very much at home. The location is in a beautiful area and all rooms are nice, comfortable, sparkling clean and have a great view over the fjord . It's very close to Balestrand and also to some excellent hikings and breathtaking surroundings. All of our meals were delicious. Definetlely worth the money and visiting! I can't recommend enough. I would stay here again and again.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights on our way from Bergen to Oslo so we could see the fjords up close. We had a really nice time thanks to the hospitality of hotel manager Magnar and his team. The hotel’s approach is a simple one that lets the surrounding area shine. Rooms are clean without a lot of fussy decor. They let you focus on one thing - the spectacular views of the fjords. Our room was a bedroom and a sitting room. Both had jaw dropping views of different mountains. We ate breakfast and dinner at the hotel both days. The breakfast was enough to fuel you for a day of adventure outdoors. The dinners were food. The food was very fresh. Ask Magnar where they sourced the meat or fish or produce and the answer was always “our neighbors.” Dragvik is a pretty remote area but you can go on a great and challenging hike that starts just outside the front door. To do anything else you need to go to nearby Balestrand, population 800. Balestrand has a few restaurants, a grocery store and an adventure center where you can book a RIB boat tour of the fjords or a kayak tour. We did both and I’d recommend them. Even though you could hit a golf ball from the hotel to Balestrand, you can’t walk there because of the water. So you need to take a bus that goes every couple of hours or ask Magnar to take you. He’s always happy to (for a fee). If you’re looking to explore the fjords up close, this is a solid place to do that.

“Great cabin, seems to cater for older people”

All the basics are allright: friendly staff, small hotel, great views over the fjord. But something felt a bit off, it’s just not our kind of place.

All the basics are allright: friendly staff, small hotel, great views over the fjord. But something felt a bit off, it’s just not our kind of place. The interior looked outdated, the clientele too, the staff too obliging, and long after Covid restrictions have been loosened, the owner kept wearing a facemask (making him difficult to understand) and insisting on bringing the breakfast to our table, because a buffet would be too dangerous. It’s just all a bit peculiar. Our Comfort Cabin is the reason why I still give it four stars, it was very spacious, veranda overlooking the fjord, quiet, spotlessly clean and luxurious beds + reclining seats. Definitely a place to chill out. We just sat there for hours, pretending to read, but actually just staring at the fjord.
