Thon Hotel Sandven

Step back in time in this historical hotel in Hardanger. The reception, the lobby area and also the breakfast room is all kept in its authentic historical style. The room was in an a new part of the building, with a contemporary feel and fjord views. Small minus for no toiletries in the bathroom. ||The reception and the breakfast is staffed with absolutely lovely and personable staff - service is impeccable.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Our room was spacious with a nice view. The food in the pub was just right and again, beautiful view. The breakfast was fabulous!! Perfect stopover from Bergen to the rest of our fjord driving tour.

The location is magical! The staff extremely attentive. The construction prevented the ability to take in the views and having a worker right outside the window was awkward. ||The breakfast was very good. We would have enjoyed more vegan options. ||This hotel was far and above the others. We did the Rib Boat Tour and used the kayaks offered by the hotel. I was amazed that there we no flying bugs in Norway. We were outside the majority of the time. ||

The location of the hotel is fantastic along the fjord. The old building has great atmosphere. Close to everything in town. The breakfast is very extensive although some of the ‘hot food’ was not very warm. |Our room in the modern annex was fine but it faced a very busy street. Lots of trucks and other traffic passed. We had to use ear plugs to sleep. Very disappointing.|Ask for a quiet room not facing that street.

Our 2nd Thon hotel of this trip and another successful stay.|The hotel is a classic historic building with the addition of a modern wing. We'd book a package for a superior room with balcony & fjord view. Absolutely gorgeous. Cosy room decorated in period style with a smart modern shower room. The best bit was the spacious, private, large wooden balcony complete with 2 comfy wicker chairs. Under cover, so perfect for admiring the view even in the rain.|Very quiet at night away from the road but maybe it could be less so in nicer weather when busy. |Excellent breakfast buffet with every conceivable food you could imagine. The historic wooden dining room is magnificent and a great place to eat.|There is a restaurant on site but we didn't dine in.|Beware, there is no lift in the old part of the building so be prepared to lug your cases upstairs.|Would happily stay again.

Delicious breakfast! Amazing view! Great and clean rooms! We have also had dinner at the restaurant. Everything 5 stars! Would recommend staying at this hotel!

We stayed at the historic part of the hotel, the room was big, very clean and with a stunning view. Amazing breakfast, very welcoming and friendly personnel. Would totally recommend staying at the Thon Sandven.

The stay here was fine. It’s a good location and stop on a roadtrip but definitely not a destination stop. The hotel was a bit outdated and the rooms were old. We were there during a very hot night and the windows don’t open and the fan was broken. There was not a lot of air circulation and it affected my time there. The breakfast was sufficient but it didn’t have a lot of options. I don’t think I’d recommend it.
