We really loved this place, but we also like to stay in cabins which this reminded us of. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff were great. We could not stay for breakfast so they made us something to go. The food a night was one of the best meals we had on the trip. Great place to stay!

Grass roof, cabin like rooms. It's what you want in Norway.

Not sure this is the perfect spot for everyone, but if you want a nice, quiet place to stay, it's perfect. We loved it!

Enjoyed dinner at EGGEN restaurant at the top of a mountain by way of a gondola and watched a perfect sunset. Wow! We then traveled to Geiranger,a quaint little fishing village with the most beautiful Fjords. Peter was our three hour tour bus guide. He knows a thing or two since he has been doing this for 30 years. We stopped at waterfalls and zipped through the valleys in the mountains. Time really does fly when you are having fun, didn't feel like three hours. He told us about trolls and other legends. Our final destination was Alesund a fairy tale looking island. The architecture was incredible with their cobblestone streets and lighthouses. Antenot was the perfect guide as we hiked eight miles, up a picturesque hillside along with sheep grazing below. Great food and great times with great friends. We had the time of our lives. Thanks Mathias and KIMKIM.

Our guide, Tricia, was excellent. She was very responsive, and completely understood our feedback. As our trip to Norway approached, she took some time off, and Tom filled in. There was no interruption of service, and Tom was as efficient and helpful as Tricia.

All of the places we visited were wonderful. Our focus was on small, fiord towns and hiking nearby. Everything exceeded expectations. During the trip, the encountered the usual array of small issues, but KimKim was right there when we needed them, responding to our questions and resolving issues very, very quickly. I don’t think we’ve ever had an a travel agent as efficient and helpful.

We will absolutely use KimKim again for other trips in the future.

Her response time is prompt, and always informative.
When we came to Norway, there were road closures due to floods water from heavy rains , and Anna immediately reached out to us with a warning and two alternate routes to reach our destination.
Furthermore, there were colleagues to cover when she was not available herself and we felt that 24 /7we would be able to reach KimKim if we had any difficulties.
We could not recommend Anna, and our experience with KimKim more enthusiastically.

Hotel Reviews
Thon Hotel Høyers
Skien

By the time we arrived at our final hotel, we were acclimated to a great breakfast, lift for luggage, helpful staff, central location. Once again, though, we were faced with stairs into the hotel and this continued to be a problem for those, like us, who are 80+ and burdened with luggage and legs no longer spry.

Authenticity & Character
OK - did not explore much. I only rated them as 3 stars because of the lack of interaction with staff and time in Skien. We had no complaints or suggestions and would probably rate them higher if we had more time there.
Location
Can't write much here as we did not take in any sights the short time we were there. We asked this trip to be included in our itinerary because I wanted to meet with paternal cousins whom I'd never met in the past.

Cleanliness & Comfort
No. I think previous reviewers were turned off by roadside noise and maybe that could be a problem. We were absent most of the time and there was also some raining which no doubt decreased loud noise outdoors!
Hotel Bristol
Oslo

We would give this hotel mixed reviews only because it was so luxurious and we are not that kind of people. I, Maury, was uncomfortable in the dining room as I did not have a sport coat with me and certainly not a suit! The rooms were as one would expect in such an hotel though we had to navigate stairs which was impossible for me to carry with heavy luggage. As the hotel was booked full, the receptionist took it upon herself to carry our two large cases down the stairs. She also arranged to have them carried up when we departed. We returned a couple of days later and had been given a room minus the stairs. Hotel staff seemed a bit aloof but when personally engaged, were full of smiles, stories and helpful directions. Stairs into hotel and a ramp would have been appreciated. We left before breakfast one morning and were told a box breakfast would be waiting; it was not and we had to leave before it could be put together as the taxi was waiting. Central location was great.

His knowledge, humor. On the negative side, part of the trip over water was in heavy fog which he sped over at high speed. However, he made sure we understood he grew up there and knew the area very well. Still, we came upon an electric ferry in the mist which he easily avoided but was still a surprise to him! I was a bit anxious because of his speed and the worry about there might be another equally knowledgeable boatman out there also traveling fast.

Well, I got to the airport with the passport that outdated 6 weeks later, not the new one. We were refused admittance on the international flight from the US. So I frantically worked with the airlines to get tickets for the next day and Fenne managed the hotel and excursions that were missed. What about checking out of a hotel whose computer was down and we couldn't verify whether I had charged dinner to the room or to my credit card. Called Fenne and she managed the problem so I could go on without worry about that detail. What about cancelled flight to Oslo and delayed arrival? Called Fenne while riding in taxi to another airport and she notified the hotel. Life happens while traveling especially at night and on weekends and having a responsive understanding agent was a huge contributor to my wonderful trip. Thank you Mar, thank you Fenne!!!!

In Copenhagen we especially appreciated the personal tours of Kronoberg and Christiansborg castles. In Norway the wonderful stop in Balestrand with the rib boat tour and fjord tours were amazing, along with the accommodations. Having all the trains and boats planned for us was great to allow us to focus more on the locations and less on planning that aspect of travel which was welcomed. The information provided to us prior to the trip was accurate and we only had a few times where things were not as clear but this was likely not KimKim but the specific train company itself. We greatly enjoyed our time and felt we were able to see and do the things we wanted with some guidance but also allowing time for us to discover on our own. I would certainly use KimKim in the future to assist in planning!

This hotel is bare bones. Did not have a fridge (but did allow me to chill medication by placing with a tag in their fridge at the main desk). It was a little small for 3 people, but clean. I was not a huge fan of the location of this one, it was further to walk to access the main sites. The hotel breakfast , staff and cleanliness were excellent however, it maybe just wasn't the best fit for us.

This one was a miss for us. Too small for three people it was a closet sized, if you have a party of three would recommend a larger room. While we were not in the room often it was too cozy for three (example, opening the bathroom door would hit the third bed). This hotel also does not do any housekeeping, you can ask for towels each day. However, given the room is so small it is rather inconvenient to also do the housekeeping for them by bringing out dishes and towels. Too much self service, we are not too needy but this hotel was a bit too minimal. Location was just okay.

Oslo is vibrant and full of art. It was our port of entry and well worth the few days spent there.
Norway is truly a beautiful country, full of polite and somewhat reserved people until they get to know you.
I would come back and rent a camper van to experience more of the country side

The hike was good. Our guide was calm, kind, knowledgeable and fun to walk with. Had some issues with ticks. My husband ended up with 3 on him which we quickly removed. The path got slippery and muddy by the falls but the scenery was outstanding and it was a good way to learn about the agriculture and history of Norway and the region.

Nice clean busy hotel. We felt as if we were in a cruise ship crowd because there were buses of people--a bit busier than we would have liked but didn't detract from our trip. The rooms are nice and had ample space. Friendly staff. Room was quiet. Nice option next to the train station so it was a walkable option to a lot. We'd consider it again for convenience.

This is an amazing hotel option from every aspect--rooms were modern, smartly furnished, friendly team members, outstanding food in the restaurant, they went above and beyond one day when we were going to miss breakfast due to an early train and sent a bagged breakfast that was super. We stayed there twice and we will again! And we'll tell our friends/family to stay there. Final strong point is proximity to train station, which is why we went there in the first place. Top marks in all categories!

Or for the hike to Kjeragbolt, going over the various hike options (all in one day, overnight, etc). And my least favorite thing was the Bergen to Flam to Bergen because of how long it took. I admit this was my fault for not looking at the details in advance but other options might have been helpful. One other suggestion would be greater assistance with traveling to the various locations.

Please understand, the trip was fabulous and the help that you all provided was outstanding. The above are just suggestions to make things even better.
