Kviknes Hotel, hotel in Balestrand

This grand, 18th-century waterfront hotel is located in Balestrand. It offers stunning views of the surrounding Sognefjord, an elegant restaurant and modern guest rooms. Free WiFi is available.

We stayed in the “newer” part which was a disappointment. We had hoped to stay in historic side. Breakfast was wonderful. Beautiful view from out table by the window.

    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 surroundings. Very fun to travel with a speedboat combined with historical tour. Cider house had delicious food. Highly recommendable. Perfect place for anyone who loves outdoor activities and want to be in a beautiful environment.

    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.

    The location of the hotel was just perfect and the view of the fjord from the room was spectacular. The room in the more modern part was very comfortable, spacious, quiet and very clean. The breakfast offered a lot of choice and was in the restaurant room with a great view of the fjord. The old part contains several lounges and a very comfortable terrace which can be used by hotel guests. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

    We loved everything about our stay. Our room was lovely, as was our view, even in the rain. We were able to do our laundry. Breakfast was really nice. But our host, Magnar, truly made our stay great! He contacted the car rental for us and even printed maps for the next part of our holiday! The restaurant he recommended was one of the best meals we’ve had. We will be returning for a second stay because we had such a good experience.

    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!

    Breakfast was good, eggs and meat to order, plenty of choices. Great coffee, not machine self serve. They provide evening meals and food was delicious and fresh. Staff was excellent, our room was the only one with balcony and large, so pleasant and a wonderful surprise for us. History of the hotel was wonderful—ask for the background when you get there. 70 years in business, still run by the family.

    We loved the location of the appartment at the harbor in Balestrand with a great view on Fjord and mountains. It was convenient for my parents that the appartment had a bedroom and a bathroom on the 1st floor so that they did not have to climb the stairs. Rhe rooms were spacious and the bathroom was clean and comfortable. It was also convenient that a supermarket was just around the corner.

    The location and the view were stunning. The staff was very welcoming and they upgraded our room for no extra charge. Free croissants and coffee were provided in the morning, but for the breakfast you would have to go to another hotel (as they collaborate). Room was spacious and had a bath tub. We would recommend this place.

    The hotel is located in a most beautiful natural area. Beautiful hiking trails. The staff was nice and helpful and the breakfast was very good. The room was spacious, but not as quiet since it was located above the front entrance, where we could hear all the cars and people entering the hotel.

    The hotel is an easy walk to and from the ferry. The breakfast room was quite loud, they did tell us in advance that we would have coffee and a croissant. That was okay. The view from our room was great.
