This is a hotel with a very young vibe ; do not expect luxury here...the environment (views of the fjords) provide that. It was really nice to experience this hotel but difficult to explain what kind of category it falls under : youth hotel + pet hotel + very open minded ('hip'). In short: a happy place. So do not expect a boutique style of hotel but very basic (in a positive way). We came in and the reception is also the bar so we could immediately sit at the front terrace with fjord views having drinks. If you need something, just ask the will try to provide it. Bonus: we opted for their standard breakfast (croissant+coffee) but when we checked in we were surprised with the message it would be a bit more : home made cakes... They also have their own 'beach'/garden with sauna. There is a beach/swimming pond 100 meters up the road.

The location is amazing—right in the town near the pier, with beautiful views of the mountains and fjord. The room looks bigger and even nicer than shown in the photos. Everything was clean, comfortable, and peaceful.

We loved the location and how spacious the apartment is. The views of the fjord is unbeatable. We enjoyed a fishing trip and because of the well stocked kitchen we were able to enjoy our haddock for dinner that night. I could sit out in the deck for hours!

Beautiful villa/house- it was extremely charming.Made you feel what it would be like to live here for real. The decor was very authentic and cozy. Comfy beds and linens/pillows. Very spacious, had everything we needed. Kitchen well equipped to cook. They texted us the day before to let us know that the 2 days we were there was a National Holiday (Constitution Day) and both supermarkets and restaurants would be closed and that we should shop before reaching Balestrand. We prepared and made simple meals at the Villa. Great /prompt communication on property’s side. Would highly recommend taking eclectic bikes around town and the fjords. We rented them for 3 hrs and the views were just breathtaking. super special.

    We didn't plan any activities in Balestrand, so for a short stay it was amazing, the town has what you would need though if you have a longer stay, but that would certainly require better planning for activities to visit surrounding areas and Fjords...

    This place is a gem. Peaceful and beautiful appointed. It exceeded expectations. My family and I didn't want to leave! We enjoyed the breakfast and dinners, the food is exceptional. It's close to trails, so plenty of exploring to do. The views and property is so lovely it is just as enticing to stay in and enjoy the space. It is on our dream list to return. It is a trek to go to Balestrand if you don't have a car, however, the hotel offers a shuttle if you plan ahead. This was a concern prior to getting there as we didn't have a car, however, once there we didn't want to leave so it worked out.

    We stayed in Balestrand on a Sunday, so our experience could be very different than a stay on a normal day. Everything was easily within walking distance from our hotel stay at Kringsja (a quirky little hotel full of charm). It was quiet and peaceful. Be sure to have dinner at Baalee Restaurant. In our 10 day road trip through Norway with (6) stops - this was the best meal we had. My family of (4) had different dishes and all were top notch. The proprietor clearly cares about quality and comfort - she was great! Great views all around and be sure to visit St. Olaf's church and sign the guestbook!

    The tourist info center needs to clarify communications.

    The tourist info center needs to clarify communications. some sites say boats are running when they are not. we always seemed to be a day behind when trying to schedule excursions. that was a frustration. your map of the villsge, while artistic, was hard to read. a traditional map is needed. food-fantadtic and friendly.

    It's a lovely hotel, very basic, but the rooms are lovely and the access to the fjord, with the sauna and fire pit by the water is lovely. And they allow pets. I loved seeing the other guests' dogs. (Travelling there from USA couldn't bring my dog but enjoyed the company of other guests' dogs!)

    I'm glad we chose to spend even 1 extra day in the fjord country. It's an easy ferry ride from Flam, and so much more peaceful and quiet than the tourist frenzy in Flam, so I'm very glad we got to experience it. I wish we had more than one night there, but it is a very small town and there isn't a whole lot to do. We could've stayed longer and done some hiking. We tried to do the Balestrand Aquarium, but it was a Sunday, so either opened late, or just didn't open that day, so we didn't see it. A local, however, told us that it's under new ownership and not much of an aquarium anymore. I would've loved to have seen what type of wildlife actually inhabits the fjords, so was a little disappointed not to see whatever aquarium was there. We did splurge on the buffet dinner at the Kviknes hotel. It is a beautiful hotel with a beautiful view, but I was disappointed in the food, especially for the price. For example, the cheese selections were not tasty. I appreciate that they keep to traditional and local Norwegian foods, but while there was a lot of variety, some of it wasn't very good. I had been looking forward to some delicious Norwegian cheese on tasty bread, and was disappointed. The bread was just bread, nothing outstanding. I did love the salmon and the bread pudding. I had read many other reviews that raved about the food. Maybe on our night, the selection just didn't suit my palette, so if it is something that appeals to you, do try it. I am glad we did. The city itself is small, so easily walkable, and we enjoyed strolling on the quiet streets and seeing the Viking burial mounds. I had communicated with Balestrand Adventures about renting bikes to explore more of the area, but our timing just didn't work out. They seem to have lots of other activities that may be worth checking out. Another full day for us would have been ideal, so don't cut yourself too short on time in this beautiful town.

    Perfect large room overlooking the fjord. Very good value for money - the hotel is basic but really comfortable, spotlessly clean and the staff are lovely. We had the subsidised breakfast at the Kviknes hotel on one day, which was excellent, and the delicioius fresh croissants and coffee/tea provided free by the Balestrand hotel on the other day. The hotel is very well positioned near the boats and has a lovely garden.

    Superb views of the Fjorde and Mountains . This beautiful village is steeped in history and cultural experiences. The hallways and lobbies are decorated with beautiful local photos taken throughout the year which clearly depicts the change of seasons and the beauty of nature . Certainly well worth staying at the Kringsjå Hotel .
