Gudvangen Fjordtell & Apartments  

This hotel is strategically located at the end of beautiful fjords. Stay was excellent and felt close to nature away from crowd. Staff are excellent and very co-operative. We were allowed to late checkout by almost 4 hours which was a nice gesture. Facilities and room design matches nature around so don't expect a overly luxurious room .

Food. No good choice for veggies. But there is always the kitchen to get over it. The price is also quite high which can be made competitive.

The location is excellent, just right at the dock. The view is fantastic. The more important is the hospitality of the staff and the owner. We are the only guests for that night (6 people). They treated us so well. Even give us an extra room free when we mentioned the apartment room is a little crowded for 6 of us. Since it is just beginning of another season in 2011. We also like to design for the facility of gift shop and the those luxury room for couple. They are absolutely beautiful and fit in the nature so well.

The view over the fjord, where the hotel is on, is magnificent. You can also take a walk on the borders of the lake which we did and the view was stunning. We were there at low season so not so many boats were leaving from the peer, no tour busses which, I expect ,make the place rather crowded in summer. The hotel itself has funny, tacky Viking rooms and nice big enough motel-style rooms with their own little kitchen with sink, fridge and cooking possibilities. At the nearby gasstation/supermarket you can buy what you need to prepare your own meal.My daughter left het Nintendo DS at the hotel and when we phoned them (after a week) they had found the thing and sent it to our house in Holland without extra costs. That is what I call good service!

The rooms are rather dark and when we arrived, after having booked online through this site, our family room was already taken. Luckily they still had 3 double apartmentstyle rooms which we got for the same price as the family room. Which was nice

There are few towns and little accommodation in this area of western Norway, so being able to find a hotel of any type is a bonus. Our premium room was reasonably large, and had a good bathroom. We were driving to the Flam railway, and this was the closest hotel that had a vacant room the night we wanted.

Hotel is more like a motel, but at hotel prices. It has a row of rooms, all with doors directly to the outside, and some premium rooms in a circular building, all opening direct to the outside with no corridor. The hotel is next door to the Gudvangen ferry terminal, and hotel breakfast and dinner is in the shop/cafeteria for the terminal. The path to the cafeteria is made of stepping stones in the grass, outside the buildings. On a cold wet winter night it could be difficult to get to and from the cafeteria while staying dry and warm. There is no way that non-residents can be restricted from the area around the rooms. Large skylight in our premium room has no blinds and no way to block out light. We were there in the first week of August, and it was light till late at night and early the following morning.

The location.

Some staff were very slow to respond to request. The breakfast buffet was very slowly re-stocked. The room was comfortable but by Australian standards very over priced.

Location and nature around are wonderful. Apartments are big and with the kitchen

The best thing about staying at Gudvangen Fyordtell & Apartments was the scenery!

The room was grossly overpriced! It was little more than a log cabin and the shower (although there was a shower screen) wet the whole of the bathroom area when used. Having said this the shower worked well and the room was clean. It was just far too expensive for the room type.The breakfast provided was adequate.

Location and the scenic beauty of the surrounding area (mountain, Water stream, falls..)

Unique experience to look up through the skylights and see the mountains and waterfalls high above you.

Hotel staff are kind and cheerful. Fjord of Gudvangen is superior and MUST to see from a boat.

The hotel is located in from of the ferry terminal thus the overall atmosphere is busy and is not comfortable to relax. Breakfast menu is acceptable. Dinner menu is so expensive compared to its value that we had a dinner in a restaurant in other village on the second evening. A nearby supermarket does not have sufficient foods and we needed to go to other village.

The area is beautiful. It is a pictures spot with mountains around and numbers of natural water falls. This is an unesco heritage site. The ferry to Flam (Fjord) is just outside the hotel which is the most attractive fjord in Norway. First 2 days we were in apartment house with small kitchen and terrace. We were offered the last night in Wiking room which is an excellent experience especially when we can enjoy the mountain and water falls from your bed through the glass roof.

Out booking night was incorrect and had it booked the night before we were due. We were told the hotel had rung us but they had not left any messages on our phone so we did not know ad could not call them back. Staff were initially quite rude and unfriendly but then seemed to improve later on. Not a great welcome to the hotel though as we then had to ask if any rooms were free that night rather than them letting us know.
