Best place we stayed on the whole trip on a stormy day we could see the weather and on a clear day we could walk where we wanted and the food was amazing!

Location was perfect, Quiet great food a stay of a lifetime! Thanks.

Perfect location!

Our guide was a perfect gentleman when we were at the glacier he would us let enjoy the quiet and the calfing of the glacier. It was the most peaceful and full of awe trip. Hard to explain but just perfect!

This was the best our guide was perfect and I would go with her anywhere!

The rooms in this hotel were tiny and stuffy. However, breakfasts were fabulous, and the view of downtown Oslo was without compare!

This was a cottage right on the water. Awesome views!! The proprietor, she treated us like family and gave us a big hug when we left. Amazing experience.

Hotel was drop-dead gorgeous. Amazing breakfasts. Views were amazing.

Close to everything, amazing breakfast, beautiful hotel.

The views, the cliffs, the waterfalls. We felt like we were in a living postcard. My wife has some disabilities, and the staff were very helpful in getting on the boat safely.

What a beautiful and charming hotel . We stayed in an antique cabin over the water - perfection ! The restaurant alone is worth staying in property . The breakfast was delicious , bountiful and relaxed in the charming historic main building. Dinner was fantastic- our fish dishes were unequaled during our trip through the islands

Wonderful hotel , well designed , a perfect location The cabins are cozy and well equipped , the view amazing

Wow! My husband and I travel a great deal and this cabin is one of the most amazing ones we’ve ever stayed in . We were absolutely blown away by the incredibly smart and efficient but sleek design of the place . There is zero wasted space and yet it feels as if you are living in a quite luxurious tree house. We carried out our dinner to be able to eat watching the sunset and the lights come on in the town below The bed was the most comfortable one we slept in during our entire trip We would have loved to have stayed a week . I enjoyed this cabin so I am contemplating reaching out to the architectural firm to purchase the plans Every single detail has been covered and done so well

What an absolutely charming place ! We were in the most adorable little apartment , comfortable, livable and yet decorated with a perfect eye .We loved sitting having morning coffee or afternoon wine watching the ocean out the window . I would have loved to have just moved in and never leave ! Everything we needed was there in our cozy space and the beds so comfortable. Our host , Lone, was a highlight of our trip through Norway . The restored post office / dining room she’s created looks like something out of a travel magazine and her family stories only add to the experience and character . Breakfast (btw) was delicious and casually elegant . Lone sat with us telling us stories and giving us advice on places to explore locally This stay was a highlight of our trip and the accommodations should be considered a destiny on their own , it’s that great of an experience

Nice place to stay . The staff was incredibly kind and helpful

Cool hotel in a fabulous location with the most amazing breakfast !

This is a delightful hotel with a distinctive Norwegian flavour. The room had a comfortable small table and chairs with a sliding glass door that opened onto the canal below, giving us great views of the activities on the water. The highlight of the hotel is its spectacular lobby, with its high ceilings, beautiful stone fireplace, and comfortable seating. The breakfast buffet was beautifully laid out and served in a bright room with lovely Scandinavian décor. As we are senior travellers, we chose to take a taxi to the Geiranger Fjord Cruise terminal rather than walk. However, the distance isn’t far, and many travellers would find it walkable.

The highlight of this hotel was the distinctive wood-panelled bar. The lobby area and breakfast rooms were equally reminiscent of classic hotels. The room was spacious, refurnished and comfortable. The location is within walking distance of the old Bryggen district, restaurants, pedestrian streets and the funicular. The hotel is directly across the road from the beautiful old train station.

The accommodation on the MS Vesterålen Hurtigruten ship was a bit of a surprise. The room was smaller than expected and had bunk beds, which was challenging for us as older travelers because one had to climb a ladder. It would be helpful for future travelers to know about this setup in advance or to have an option for a room without a ladder.

The location right next to the airport and train station is really convenient. It is what one would expect from a large hotel, where the location, cleanliness and convenience are more important than uniqueness and ambiance. The dining room served very good dinners and a nice buffet breakfast.

We had a lovely room with a beautiful view over the canal and the flower bridge. There’s something special about being right on the water. The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the train station and many of the repurposed old buildings and restaurants in the old town. The buffet breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had. The variety of food was amazing. Our train left early in the morning, making breakfast a bit rushed. Had we let the front desk know the night before, we could have had a packed breakfast prepared for us. A good tip for other travellers with early departures.

The small village of Aurland was a wonderful place to stay for a night. We stayed in one of eight delightful little cottages directly overlooking the water. The cottages were simple but clean, bright and inviting. The little deck was a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine and the incredible view. The breakfast was fabulous and served in a beautifully decorated traditional home. We enjoyed our walk through the little town and along the water. The hotel was conveniently located within a five minute walk of the ferry.

Amerikalinjen, the former headquarters of the Norwegian American Line, is a beautiful old hotel centrally located within walking distance of the train station and the pedestrian downtown. A delicious breakfast was served in the inviting Atlas Brasserie. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was ready in time for our early arrival. The staff was accommodating and friendly, and the room was comfortable and clean.

While relaxing onboard the Hurtigruten was generally enjoyable, there was a part of the trip where the ship stopped for a good part of the day without any clear options for excursions or activities. It was a bit of a surprise and felt like downtime without much to do, which could be improved by offering optional excursions or activities during such stops.

The Bergen Walking Tour with a Local Guide was excellent. Our guide, Tom, was personable and showed us the key sights while also giving great suggestions for lunch spots.

My favorite activity was the Full Day Geiranger Fjord Cruise. We were so lucky with the weather, and the experience was incredible and unique. The combination of the stunning geography, the visual experience, and the cultural aspects made it a well-balanced and memorable trip.

Staff friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Coffee available 24 hrs in lobby. Comfortable rooms and good location.

Loved our little hotel. They have dinner there which we loved. They even held it when we were running late.

Best food ever!

Really fun place right in the heart of Bergen

Loved being over the water

Fun place right by the train station so we wouldn't get lost!

Fun hotel in a great location

We didn't arrive until 2 AM, but they had someone there waiting for us!

Got to see the city through the eyes of a local

One of our favorite activities. There was no one else at the Stegastein viewpoint (and that is rare)

Beautiful. Love having the electric boat as it was so quiet

We had to cut our paddling short due to weather, but the guides did their job and made sure we were safe.

Guide was amazing. She showed us all around the city and made it personal to our Minnesota roots.

Even though it was a larger group, our guide held us together well! Plus, we saw Musk Ox. Beautiful land

Our guide was so fun
