Utsikten Hotel

The views from the hotel were spectacular. We were there last month during the first week of September. Parking is limited. Got to the hotel and managed to find a spot but once we got back after dinner in town we had to park on the road. Pleasant staff. There was free tea and coffee in the lounge which was a lovely touch as the views from the lounge were amazing. Good breakfast. Rooms are a bit on a smaller size. Tea & coffee facilities in the room as well. We stayed one night but wish we could’ve stayed longer. Highly recommend staying at this hotel.

Visited Norway for 10 days on a road trip. The hotel itself was the best place we stayed. Spacious bedroom, living area and bathroom giving us plenty of space. The view of the Fjord was spectacular and just a 10 minute drive.

They have the most phenomenal staff. Friendly, professional and helpful. They all took the time to answer emails prior to my arrival, provided instructions for hikes and activities and booked taxis for me. Rooms are small, but kept very clean. The view from the hotel is everything and you are away from the crowds. The hotel/ building itself is charming and whole atmosphere is relaxing. The breakfast and dinner is lovely as well. One of my best experiences of hotel stays.

Room 313 has the best views over the fjord. It's also spacious and elegantly decorated with a sofa and armchairs and a separate bedroom for a child. Tiny bathroom and no lift, otherwise perfect. Lovely staff, very courteous and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We only stayed here for one night, but it was incredible. It was easy to find and there was parking available, we stayed in a room with a view of the fjord and we highly recommend you do the same! The bed was extremely comfortable, the room was very clean, there was a coffee maker in the room, the bathroom was teeny tiny (not a big deal to us but I can see it being a problem for some people) and they had free breakfast in the morning with plenty to choose from. They also had a community fridge on the first floor that guests were free to use!

Very welcoming reception, although we were early and our room was not ready we were given information about a lovely walk to a mountain waterfall. On checking in the receptionist was very helpful and talked about the facilities at the hotel. A lovely dining and bar area overlooking the fjord, the hotel is well maintained and clean. Be warned though there is no lift at this hotel - we took only a change of clothes for the next day and our wash bags to avoid having to lift heavy cases up to you room. Our room was small but clean and comfortable - we asked for a room overlooking the fjord with super views of the sunset. Breakfast was OK. Parking is available but limited. As we were checking out we were given very useful information about our next route, this helped us to avoid a huge detour due to road closures.

The room with a view was spectacular! It looked like a photo or something unreal. Highly recommend paying extra for a view. Especially since you’re far from the city , make the drive worth it. Room was just the right size for an over night trip. We are on the second floor. There is not elevator inside . You can walk around and avoid the stairs up from the reception to the 2nd floor by walking around the building to the side doors 🅿️¡Suggestion! - make motorcycles park some place else or share one spot. Two motorcycles took up two spots . So we had to park our car along the road. Really frustrating seeing they could’ve shared 1 spot.

We spent three weeks traveling through Norway and stayed at seven different hotels, most of them rated four stars. This was by far the most expensive one at $365 per night, even though I booked it five months in advance. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the price. The curtains in the room didn’t close properly, and the advertised “garden view” turned out to be a parking lot. Breakfast was the worst we had on the trip—I’ve never seen such a tiny croissant before. This hotel seems to rely heavily on its location and historical charm, but the cost is not justified by the quality of the stay. Disappointing overall.
