Utsikten Hotel

Just wow! We got a free upgrade and enjoyed a stunning view of the fjord. Good breakfast, very kind stuff! I would say great bang for the buck. If I ever go back to Geiranger, I’ll definitely stay here. There is also a pretty decent choice of breakfast for vegans, bust mostly sweet stuff. It would be great if they added one or two savory options as well!

Cute classic 100 year-old hotel above the town with a spectacular view of the fjord. Lots of little outdoor seating nooks and crannies. Older hotel with new quaint renovations. No elevator but only three floors. Our room was somewhat large and in addition to the bed had a little sitting area with a couch and two chairs and a coffee table overlooking the fjord. Absolutely beautiful. Hotel is right on the road with parking available. Hotel is above the fjord information center with the waterfall stair walk down into the town, but it's on the same level as the start of the behind the falls waterfall hike. Bed is very plush. Breakfast was very nice, with a view. Excellent stay!

Our stay at Utsikten Hotel in Geiranger was a blend of awe-inspiring views and logistical frustrations. The photos online set certain expectations for the room size and layout, but upon arrival, we were met with a smaller room and window than anticipated. Additionally, I booked a room with two double beds but was assigned a queen room instead, which was a disappointment. The hotel’s location is both its greatest charm and its biggest challenge. Set high above the fjord, the view is undeniably stunning—arguably better than from the Pier. But the trade-off is accessibility. With no shuttle service and limited taxi availability in the area, getting there without your own car is a hassle. We had to wait three hours for a taxi after arriving in Geiranger by bus. While the front desk staff were kind and tried to help with arranging transport back to town upon checkout, but we were told it's not guaranteed you'll get one, so definitely plan for long waiting times if you rely on public transport. Breakfast was solid, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Dinner, on the other hand, leaned heavily into Western-style Norwegian cuisine. It was pricey—we spent around 1,300 NOK for two—and unfortunately didn’t align with our taste preferences (we're Asian), though we noticed other guests(Caucasian) seemed to enjoy it. Overall, Utsikten is best suited for travelers with rental cars who are looking for a scenic, quiet retreat above the fjord—just be aware of the transportation challenges and set expectations for dining and room layout accordingly.

Amazing Stay in Geiranger! We had a truly wonderful experience at this hotel in Geiranger! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Their service made my stay even more enjoyable. The location is absolutely perfect, offering breathtaking views of the fjord and the surrounding mountains. Waking up to that scenery every morning was unforgettable. The room was comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was fantastic, featuring a great variety of fresh and delicious options to start the day. I can't recommend this place enough, and I would love to return in the future. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

An absolutely incredible view from the rooms (although I think there are some that don’t face the fjord) and the public rooms. Small room and tiny bathroom but the view makes up for it. Excellent dinner although quite expensive, and a nice breakfast buffet. An easy walk up to the Flydalsjuvet View Point. Plenty of parking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel, harking back to a classier time. The staff went out of their way to welcome us providing valuable info and service with humour. We especially enjoyed our conversations with, assistance from Matgorzata (Margo); she is a real asset to this hotel. Fantastic views too!

We had an amazing stay in this hotel, the view was incredible on the fjord. Excellent restaurant with a service that was on point and charming. The room was comfortable and well made.

What a blast from the past! Full of charm and very vintage! There is no elevator so be aware of that. Great breakfast and spectacular view of Geiranger fjord. Adorable
