Hotel Aak

We had a wonderful visit at Hotel Aak in June! The hotel is super cozy and cute. We loved the meals in the dining room where we got to meet other travelers and connect over wonderful food. It was also very convenient to have an electric car charger onsite for our rental car. Thank you for having us!

A wonderful hotel outside Åndalsnes. The food was exceptional, the rooms cozy, the bar area with fireplace so inviting.

What should have been a joyful birthday celebration for my son turned into a ruined weekend. The hotel handled everything unprofessionally, charged my card multiple times without authorization, and still has not refunded the full amount. Instead of relaxation, we faced stress, confusion, and wasted hours fixing problems that never should happen at a hotel of this class. Even breakfast was disappointing, with a poor selection and frozen berries.

A wonderful hotel in a truly picturesque location! The rooms are very cozy and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing stay. I especially enjoyed the charming tea and coffee areas where you can sit back and take in the atmosphere. One of the highlights was the concept of shared breakfast and dinner at a large table with other guests — a lovely opportunity to connect and have great conversations. The staff were incredibly attentive and took excellent care of us — they even insisted on carrying our luggage to the room. The parking is convenient, and the whole place feels thoughtfully designed and welcoming. Highly recommended!

My wife, daughter and I stayed one night in the Superior (family) room in July 2025. Positives: Both the interior of the hotel and the garden are absolutely lovely and set up for relaxation and comfort. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. We met lots of nice people at the group dinner and for drinks in the garden after. Mixed: The 3-course dinner was expensive with no choices -- about $70 per person but beautifully presented. My wife thought it was one of the best she had had in Norway -- my daughter and I were less thrilled, mostly because of food preferences. Goat appetizer and fish main. Negatives: The room is on the front of the hotel with south and west windows. It was unbearably hot. We had to keep the windows wide open to get any breeze, but the road noise (large trucks and motorcycles) continued well past 12 am in the morning. Apparently, the hotel has a limited number of fans which were not available to us -- so, very hot and loud at night. Breakfast is NOT included which we weren't aware of until we saw our bill. That was ok, but the buffet was half empty when we arrived at 9:00 -- no scrambled eggs, lack of cheese, only the ends of bread. jams were empty, no smoothies, etc. Many of these were not replaced until at least 40 minutes later when we were ready to leave despite requests. We had to request coffee and it arrived late as well. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some very positive things and some very negative things. I think we would probably stay somewhere else if we were in the area again.

Hotel Aak is a beautiful and quaint hotel, and we loved every minute of staying there. We stayed in many high-end hotels in Norway during our visit, but Hotel AAK was one of our favourites and definitely had some of the best food we had. We were totally surprised by the amazing meals at dinner. The chef did a wonderful job! The staff were warm and welcoming, and always there to answer a question or help you out. We felt very at home. If we ever returned to Norway, this hotel will be the top of our list.

We, two grandparents and 14 year old grandson, just had a delightful stay at Hotel Aak. We were warmly greeted and had a great room with an extra bed and sort of private space for our grandson. We had dinner which was delicious ( and we highly recommend) and very enjoyable as we got to talk wth others visiting from other countries. Breakfast was also delicious. We would highly recommend a stay.

A lovely hotel in a picturesque location. The owners and staff were wonderful; lighting candles for the sauna, preparing delicious food, and even bringing us our bags when we mis-timed our touring/catching a train. Would highly recommend.

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!
