Hotel Aak

Stayed at Hotel Aak for a couple of days of ski touring in the Romsdal area. The hotel offered great hospitality and service. Really enjoyed sitting down in front of the fireplace after a full day in the mountains and having some great snacks and a drink. The atmosphere in the lounge and restaurant was so nice. Food was amazing with a lot of local specialties (both breakfast and dinner).

My husband and I had such a lovely stay at Hotel Aak. The hotel is beautiful and is nicely updated while maintaining the charm of the old, original building. The room was very comfortable, and there were really nice common spaces to hang out in too. The food was really spectacular, and I highly recommend doing their dinner. All of the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and really goes above and beyond to ensure you have a good stay. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area!

It was a pleasure to stay at Hotel Aak! We had the best meal of the trip here and met some wonderful people at the community table set-up. The breakfast was amazing as well. The area has a lot to do and see and I would highly recommend staying here if you have the chance.

Lovely 2 night stay at Hotel Aak. Bedrooms simply furnished but very comfortable beds and good bathroom. Dinner served at set time at long table so chance to chat with other guests. Food imaginative and delicious using local ingredients. Breakfast the best during our stay with individual selection of smoothies, yoghurt, berries and granola and scrambled eggs and bacon. |Staff were really friendly and anxious to ensure guests were well looked after and have a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Very lovely hotel with friendly staff and amazing food. If you stay here, definitely try the 3-course dinner. Rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. All staff we met during our stay was very friendly and helpful. Recommending you stay here if you’re looking for a place in the area of Åndalsnes.

Hi, We stayed 3 nights at the Aak hotel. The hotel was great, the team was very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious, very tasty, unique and fine. We loved the dinners around the long table where you meet and speak with new people. Highly recommended

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Aak for three nights in July 2023, and we are so glad we did. This is truly an exceptional hotel, and is someplace that we would love to return to. First and foremost, the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, the room was clean and comfortable, the building is beautifully decorated with local art, and the grounds are ordained with flowers and a functioning garden, the food was outstanding, the gear rentals were of high quality, and the location was stunning and peaceful. We initially found Hotel Aak while searching for road bike rentals in the area. There aren’t many options in this part of Norway, but upon discovering Hotel Aak’s policy of free gear rentals with three nights stay, and reading so many 5-star reviews, we decided to go for it. Hotel Aak is located in Romsdal, an area renowned for its high peaks, towering rock walls, enormous waterfalls, and nearby fjords. Its location, gear rentals, and knowledgeable staff make Hotel Aak an exceptional place to take advantage of all of this. Hotel Aak is adjacent to the river and walking/bike path and a short drive or bike ride from Åndalsnes, the switch-backing Trollstigen road, towering Trollvegen wall, Romsdal Fjord, and many other sights. Additionally, several of the staff members are climbers and photographers and can offer first-hand recommendations about the hiking, climbing, and sightseeing nearby. In addition to lodging, Hotel Aak is also exceptional for the food they serve. We enjoyed fresh, home-made breakfasts each morning (included in the price of the room). Additionally, we had a four-course dinner and wine one evening (for an additional cost), and enjoyed socializing with the other guests. They also offer bagged “to-go” lunches at a very reasonable price. The menus are varied slightly each day, making for a diverse experience. The food is cooked on-site and is beautifully plated and served by members of the staff who explained each of the food items and where they came from. Many of the ingredients are grown in the hotel garden, and others are sourced locally. The food was the perfect combination of healthy and delicious. During our stay, we had many conversations with members of the staff and other guests, getting to know them and the country’s culture in the process. Like many Norwegians, they spoke perfect English, but the staff went out of their way to converse with us and present meals in English, making us foreigners feel right at home the entire time. The ability to socialize with locals is a quintessential part of traveling that can be hard to find at hotel chains and private Airbnbs. While the nightly rate is slightly higher than we normally pay for lodging, when factoring in the gear rentals, home-cooked meals, and high caliber of the accommodations, the value was exceptional. It was the highlight of our trip to Norway, and somewhere we will go out of our way to return to in the future.

Our family stayed at the Aak Hotel for 3 nights upon recommendation from a Norwegian friend. To me it's more like a bed and breakfast because there are only 16 rooms and a wonderful breakfast is included (see photos) with homemade bread, homemade preserves, eggs with chives, camembert with nuts and honey, salmon, proscuitto, and (my daughter's favorite!): reindeer sausage! The new owners and staff provided service as excellent as the facility, room, and food! In fact, the food was so good that a Russian billionaire came for lunch one of the days we were there (but we were hiking so we didn't see him). We felt truly cared for by all the staff. Even the cleaning ladies were smiling and helpful, giving our kids a few extra pieces of candy. The view is fantastic, and we loved the fire pit outside with the picnic tables and the stream running in the back yard (you can take a dip if you're brave!) Hosts are warm, friendly and helpful. Location is not in town so you probably need a car or can take a bus that stops at the hotel. Very convenient to the Trollstigen. Definitely recommend this place for hotel or dinner.

Wonderful family Hotel with only 16 rooms. Nice and polite staff that really makes you feel at home and is super service minded. Did not have dinner here but their breakfast served at the table made our day! The Hotel is a must if you travel in this area!

Beautifully situated small family-hotell very close to Trollstigen in beautiful Åndalsnes! Super-friendly great staff greating us when we all arrived (tired wet bikers). A wonderful dinner was prepared by a young and cute chef! Great indian pale ale, and lovely red wine to go with the dinner! Simple but practical rooms. Good beds and a great shower! Breakfast was gourgeous! Home made bread and individual servings of scrambled eggs/salmon/preserves/etc. Truly a gem in Norway!
