Gudvangen Fjordtell & Apartments  

The hotel is very nice. The best? Hotel's staff: Nice, helpful and warm and location. It is priceless to wake up and see the whole Fjord in front of you...

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

Hotel is located on a tourist route, and it is seen too much on the price.

The room was large and the kitchen was convenient. Breakfast o.k.

No internet. The place itself looked very poor.

Beautiful surroundings. Decent breakfast.

Gudvangen lies between steep mountains in the narrow Nærøy fjord, and approaching it by ferry is a beautiful experience. Such a magical location, like taken out of a fantasy novel, would deserve some posh accomodation where the guests would feel like they were being attended by elves! Instead there is an overpriced and rather mangy hotel full of viking kitsch, right next to a ferry terminal with six lanes for cars and buses, and a gas station by the highway. They presumably earn their living from feeding the busloads of tourists who once in their life pass there along the "Norway in a Nutshell" tour, since I can't imagine anyone being a regular guest at this hotel! We stayed in an "apartment", i.e, a room with a minimum of furniture and decorations, a bathroom (with a leaking toilet) and a very small kitchen. Not very pleasant at all. Perhaps the ordinary rooms (those with a ceiling window) are better? If I could go back in time and plan the trip again, I would try to find a room in nearby Stalheim or Undredal instead; those places seemed a lot nicer.

Awesome location, great staff and tasty food. This location is not only gorgeous but very convenient for boat tours and such. I recommend it. It is much quieter and peaceful than Flam, but close enough to go tour Flam if desired.

The skylight in the room was great during the day but horrible for trying to sleep with how light it stays in the summer time. My stay would have been much improved if that could be covered during the night. I think it was great to have breakfast included, it would be even more awesome and attractive of a place if more was included in the price. If a boat tour was included or at least a discount for staying there that would have been just perfect. Or a dinner.

The Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty good. Enough to satisfy, but not overdone. Our room had view of waterfalls through roof windows which is a plus. Easy to get to since its the only game in town, right off the boat from the Fjord's tour.

Bed was not that comfortable. Room had no T.V., a big minus if you're used to watching before bed but great if you want to get away from everything. Bathroom was a little scary. Not many amenities and a huge price to pay for not getting much.

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.

The management and staff of this hotel couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, they made our stay even more enjoyable, the Hotels location is in a quite valley surrounded by magnificent mountains and waterfalls, with the fjord ferry located just next door ready to take you to Flam and other parts of this beautiful fjord. The hotels was very busy on our chosen weekend away and we were lucky to be upgraded. Our room was in a Viking style which was very comfortable with a large shower wet room and a skylight over the bed so we could lie there and watch the stars at night and the mountains and waterfall in the morning, just beautiful.

O hotel fica a beira do fiorde, cercado de paredões imensos refletindo na água. Lindíssimo. Vale muito a pena pela paisagem. A recepção fica em um imenso salão, onde funciona também loja de souvenirs e restaurante. Muito agradável. Bom café da manhã. Quarto amplo, muito simples, banheiro muito básico.

Ao tomar banho o chão do banheiro fica todo molhado. Muito chato.

Fantaskisk beliggenhet, om du liker fjell

Dessverre er det mange ansatte som ikke snakker norsk.

חשוב לציין שהיינו בחדר הוייקינגים אחד מתוך 12 ולא בחדרי העץ הרגילים. חדרי הוייקינגים נחשבים מיוחדים יותר ושמרו לנו חדר כזה למרות שלא הזמנו במיוחד והגענו מאוחר. החדר היה גדול ומרווח ונעים. מואר מאד עקב חלון שמש בתקרה. ארוחת בוקר טובה וארוחת ערב חביבה. מטבח שנסגר בדיוק בשעה 21:00. הערה: מגבות דקות ולא מפנקות. סה״כ מלון נעים שירות טוב מומלץ בהחלט. תמורה טובה למחיר.

רק המגבות הדקות - ראו למעלה
