The view from our balcony was great as was the terrace area. The old style old building is interesting. Balestrand is a lovely spot

Amazing place!
If you are looking for a 5-star hotel with all facilities, please do not book here. However, if you simply want a good place to sleep, a bar with excellent vibes and welcoming staff, this is the place to be!
Sandra is an excellent host who is very welcoming and helpful to all guests. Although it was mentioned that there was no breakfast provided, she suprised us with complimentary croissants and coffee. Combine that with a wonderful view of the fjord and good weather and you have an experience that many 5* hotels can only dream of.
Nice bar with local ciders, pool table and musical atmosphere.

We arrived very late - greeted kindly and welcomed ++. The room was wonderful - spacious and overlooking the fjord. The best part was the lovely polite, gentle and welcoming staff. Nothing too much trouble. We wished we had stayed much longer... Thank you Dragsvik - we hope to return.

The location was great. Local streets offered plenty of restaurants, groceries, and public transport. We walked everywhere and loved being close to the Vondelpark and museums. The bathroom was large.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but we absolutely loved our stay so we had to! The place is in perfect location, has one of the most amazing views I’ve seen and is very spacious. The owner was very quick to reply, and very accommodating. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated so the current photos don’t do it justice! We were very warm and comfortable and it was nice to catch up on some washing. Highly recommend staying here!

Take the fast ferry (4 hours) from Bergen and slow down and enjoy the glorious surroundings. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the quiet. We ate our meals and enjoyed cocktails at the Kviknes Hotel. We slept at the Balestrand Hotel and enjoyed the quiet.

Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town.
Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town. Walking south along Kong Beles Veg for about 2 kilometers affords beautiful views of St. Olaf's church, the picturesque valley, the beach, the hills, and several "Swiss-style" charming old houses. A must-see is Balestrand's little beach and the deep, clear pools beside it where I sat for ages soaking up the sound of the water's tranquil lapping on the rocks and watching fish zip around way below the surface of the crystal-clear water. I even caught people swimming and sunning themselves at midday in late September! There were not many dining options post-tourist-season, but I had the soup at the chocolatery called Holmen within the main triangle of town, and though I found it overpriced (compared to prices in Bergen), it was delicious.

Our family absolutely loved staying at Frydenlund near Balestrand. Everything in the property's information was accurate. Great hosts who helped us when we had some questions, Views are wonderful and several areas in which to relax and enjoy them. Check-in was easy as there was a door code. While we would love to return to this part of Norway we would only do so if we could also stay at Frydenlund.

Beautiful location and friendly small town.
Beautiful location and friendly small town. Unfortunately it rained quite heavy in September 2019 when we were there so that we couldn't do much biking and hiking as we had anticipated, but there was still enough to do to keep us occupied the day and a half that we spent there. Dinner with a piano concert in the Kviknes Hotel was particularly memorable.

Cute town with a lot packed into a small place.
Cute town with a lot packed into a small place. Walking around town is easy. There are two grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We went to an English Mass at St Olaf's Church too. If we had arrived earlier in the day we might have had time to fish from the shores of the fjord.
Everything! Balestrand is the most beautiful place. And the view from our comfortable and well equipped little cabin was stunning. Inge, our host, was there to welcome us and was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We could not fault our choice of location. The walking is amazing. May is reasonably quiet there, which suited us fine. The weather was incredible. No rain for the entire week. According to Inge, it was the best May he has ever known... he's lived there all his life and he's 69!!!
Lovely hotel, well-located for mountain walks, ferry port, Balestrand town centre, Kvikne's Hotel. My single room had a view of the fjord, good thick curtains (helpful at this time of year if you want to sleep in darkness) and a balcony. There are lounge areas with many tables and chairs, the breakfast room is spacious and the breakfast tasty and fresh. I will stay there again, for sure. Jon is a charming host with a dry sense of humour and an affable sensibility.
Comfortable, cozy apartment in the heart of Balestrand within 2mins walking distance to Sognefjord! The apartment is fully equipped with everything - kitchen, towels, clean bed linens, a lively living room with dining table, big bathroom and a beautiful front yard! The owner was incredibly kind, responsive and even offered a personal blow dryer on request. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!
The staff was pleasant and friendly and gave good recommendations of restaurants in town. The free breakfast was decent and there were also full kitchens for guests to use. The views from the balcony were the best part of staying here! Really lovely view of the fjord. The room was quite clean and had everything we needed. There was ample free parking in a lot by the entrance.
Wonderful location directly on the fjord and close to the ferry,
super friendly and dedicated staff,
they were so kind and gave us a bigger room than we had reserved,
we definitely recommend trying the restaurant - they have excellent dinner (it was the best dinner of our whole trip!),
parking in front of the house
The reception was just superb, we haven't met such a friendly and welcoming hotel staff members in a while! I found the shabby chic of the hotel really charming, and all the perks (a game room, guest kitchens, entertainment area) made us feel like at home :) The view requires a separate mention, it's just stunning.
Although the nearby restaurant was closed, there was a Coop Prix and Joker supermarkets for us to buy our grocerries. Everything was perfect. As per our request, we were given an apartment with a balcony with sea view. In fact, this was the best place we stayed during our 16 days long journey.
Quaint, 4th generation run B&B type establishment. Very nice, higher end restaurant 10 minutes to Balestrand. Very friendly staff. Nice area to hang and have a drink. Probably best for couples touring Norway. Very nice breakfast offers a great way to start your day
My friends and I stayed in Balestrand for one night. The Balestrand Hotel was the perfect place for us to stay overnight before I next destination. The hotel staff was very friendly. We loved the view outside of the hotel to start our morning.
Great breakfast with a large selection. Very friendly staff. Tesla destination charger, as well as generic vehicle charging options available. Room had a nice balcony (new wing). Historic hotel at a good location. Enjoyed our stay.
it is very close to the ferry pier and a few restaurants in town (2 min walk). it’s very spacious and has a nice stocked kitchen and a washing machine. Hot shower, comfy beds, great view - at half the price of hotels - loved it!
Balestrand is a hidden gem, a pleasant little town among the beautiful mountains by a beautiful fjord. Accomodation was perfect, one of the best in my life. Clean, private, well equipped and the host - Inge is very helpful.
Great huge apartment on the waterfront. Our group of 5 adults had plenty of room. We had a large deck overlooking the water. Convenient location to restaurants and the grocery store. I would highly recommend this apartment.
Wow!! This place is amazing!!. It exceeded our expectations. Really well furnished, amazing views. I have no hesitation recommending Balestrand Fjordapartments Holmen 19A.
We will definitely stay longer next time.
The location is perfect, right in the centre of Balestrand. From the main room of the apartment, there is a great view of the fjord. There is a nice restaurant right next door.
Wonderful hotel with a beautiful view of the fjord from our balcony. They had a very nice breakfast and the staff was very helpful in directing us to local activities/hiking.
Simple but very nice, with a very good price-performance ratio. The young owners are obviously modernizing the hotel. The scenery looked at ftom the balcony is stunning.
