Wondering Guesthouse
Reviewed By clairelC1449RPWe had a wonderful experience at Hardanger Guesthouse. The location is ideal and the views are incredible. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The rooms are comfortable and contain all the necessities. Since we were visiting during the off season, the restaurants in the area all close pretty early. The host kindly made us a late night dinner. The pizza and burgers were surprisingly good! The breakfast also exceeded my expectations. The facilities were nice. The game/TV room was an added bonus. We appreciated the ample seating outside so we could take in every minute of the view. I big thank you to our host who made our trip even more enjoyable and memorable!

Faded glory?
Reviewed By jessicapJ6130SSMixed feelings, but this place sadly smacks of faded glory. Glory comes in abundance: the location is other worldly, at the edge of the most beautiful fjord. The hotel offers a blast of fresh air, stunning views, peace and tranquility, and a “paradise at the end of the world” feel. There are no words to describe the beauty of the surrounding area. How lucky to have a hotel in such a prime and secret location! However, in itself, the hotel lacks attention… to detail, to the building and sadly also (we found) to guests. For example, the room was good enough. Beautiful views, clean, tidy, TV. In the downside, the mattress was wafer thin, to the point that we could feel every single spring underneath! And the room was cold - no heating on - and this was all the more noticeable with wooden floors. But ok, we were snug in bed for much of the time spent in the room and could live with that. One feature is that the hotel boasts a sauna/hot tub/fitness centre. We got the feeling that these have not been used in quite a while - quite possibly, in light of covid - and that things are a bit neglected. Maybe good to point out that we visited at the very beginning of the tourist season, so it could be that maintenance work was yet to be planned/started. It must be said that we had such an amazing time outside in the sauna/tub. The sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, and stunning views! One thing we noticed is that there is no safety rail for the hot tub. Access is by means of steep wooden steps. This is fine for the nimble, yet potentially dangerous for people of a certain age, suffering with balance issues or simply left feeling a bit wobbly after a long day/heat of the sauna. Similarly, guests are expected to shower before taking a sauna/hot tub…. but the outdoor shower does not work. It is broken… doesn’t even have taps… so how to do that? There were no bathrobes in the rooms and we were not offered any when making our booking for the spa facilities - perhaps we should have asked? Who knows…? Then there is the restaurant: after a long day of driving, we were ravenous and there seemed little other option in the area for food, and so we took advantage of the restaurant at the hotel. Some trip advisor reviews were good, but mine will not be, I am sorry to say. On the evening of our stay, only a fixed menu was available. We were not told the price, but asked for it: NOK 500 for a three-course menu. Norway is not a inexpensive country, we realise that, but that is steep when the food at the hotel was so unimpressive. We could have done better at home, frankly speaking. Clearly leftover chicken served up in a bowl with a leaf or two of lettuce as a starter. It tasted of nothing, was tiny in portion and we were not even offered some bread to go with it. Main dish was a(n uncooked) risotto with turkey. Mediocre to say the very least, and again a tiny, tiny portion. Dessert came in the form of a lemon meringue, but I have an allergy to eggs… and was offered no alternative, just the bill. The house wine cost NOK 500 for the bottle. Which is a bit steep, and especially given that the waiter spilled a good glug of it on the table when serving! So in all, we ended up spending €150 equivalent for an evening meal that left us feeling disappointed and hungry. As a further comment, a tour group had checked in for the evening, and we got the feeling that all eyes were on them, that perhaps the hotel was under observation for rating purposes by the organisers: the group and travel guides received plenty of attention from staff in terms of fuss, detail, bread and butter, and alternatives to the set menu, such as ice cream and so on. By way of contrast. we felt unimportant and overlooked, and no paying guest likes to feel this. I realise that this review is by far the most critical I have ever written on TripAdvisor: possibly because I have walked away feeling the most disappointed from any previous experience/stay. Hotel Brakanes has so much beauty and so much potential and I felt cheated out of what should have been a spectacular experience! I hope very much that this was a one-off hiccup, and that others will get to enjoy their stay far more.

Wonderful Hotel
Reviewed By chrismay27This hotel would have to have one of theist views in the world. Situated right tat the end of a fjord with spectacular views from you balcony. Rooms are reasonably spacious with all amenities. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom floors are heated - nice force thing in the morning. Food is really good with breakfast and dinner offering a huge selection from a buffet. Wine is good but expensive, as it is everywhere in Norway. Staff are great and helpful. Town is small but walking along waterfront is a joy. Very romantic and cosy.

Okay bed, terrible breakfast
Reviewed By 250george17Decent room, old and outdated. Okay view from the deluxe rooms. Very noisy, bathroom was very old. Shampoo was the same as handsoap… And don’t get me started on the breakfast. A single plate with the following: 1 slice of dry ham, 1 slice of salami, 2 slices of cheese, butter, 2-3 kind of jams, dry bread and a pair of croissants. You’d like some more ham? Forget about it. Another patron was berated by staff because it was only one plate per customer. The breakfast alone is worthy of a terrible rating, but since the bed was okay I’m giving it a poor rating. Do yourselves a favor… Stay away.

Vi kommer gjerne tilbake!
Reviewed By Vacation51726174617Vi hadde en fin helg på Ulvik camping. Koselige hytter. Pluss for at sengetøy og håndklær var inkludert i prisen. Sengene var gode og frokosten var enkel, men god. Lekerommet på Hardanger gjestehus var bra og trampolinen utenfor var populær blant barna vi hadde med. Det var reint alle steder og de som jobbet der var hyggelig. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake.
