One of our very favorite hotels in Norway is the Dragsvik Fjordhotell. We had a beautiful suite overlooking a spectacular fjord. The hotel has a lovely restaurant and is situated in the most wonderfully scenic place in Scandinavia. Take the time to drive around the fjords and spend a few days... while it's a little out of the way, it's... More

The staff were charming and very kind to us, giving us a lot of detailed information about all the beautiful places that you can enjoy in Balestrand and the surrounding area. The room was wonderful. The breakfast was really good, and the living room had got stunning views of the fjord. More

We had not been told we needed to arrange for the hotel car to collect us fom Balestrand. Although there is a bus the service finishes early and is not practicable for evening use. As the hotel is so isolated, on the opposite side of the fjord from Balestrand, there are no alternatives for dinner and nothing to do in... More

This place was great. If you want comfortable, clean rooms with amazing natural beauty just outside your door, then this is the place for you. It was so quiet here and just steps away from the fjord, great hiking trails and a neat, little arboretum. Don't be fooled by the tour books though...this is a trip, via car, from Balestrand... More

Staid there four nights as a base to explore the fjords ... Flam, Voss, Gudvangen, etc. Liked it quite a bit ... quiet, friendly owner/manager ... talked about Norway and the Norwegians ... (and against all rules) politics, religion, immigration ... Told us about his worries, hopes and plans for his hotel and Norwegian tourism. Very droll when he pointed... More

I spent 2 weeks travelling around Sweden & Norway this Summer and this was by far the worst hotel I stayed in. The room was cramped and poorly laid out and the decor tired and old-fashioned. My room bore no resemblance at all to the website pictures. Although I arrived late, the check-in staff were off-hand and uninterested. To be... More

My wife and I were spending a 10-day holiday in Norway, and Balestrand was one of our stops. We made a reservation with Dragsvik Hotel for two nights. We requested for a hotel room with a fjord view. This was meant to be our "relax & rejuvenate" checkpoint of our trip. The hotel rooms were fully booked - so the... More

Nice hotel, with great views. We stayed in the annex and had a large room, with a even a kitchen. The building is old, so accept creaking floorboards. The hotel offers one menu each night, which may be a bit limited, but the great view from the dining room compensates everything. Nice lounge with free internet. Good location to explore... More

This hotel provides a pleasant base for touring the fjords. The room was pleasant with a nice view. Previous reviews had referred to the closness to the ferry as being a downer but we found this no inconvenience at all and traffic is at the worst moinimal and certainly unobtrusive. Staff were freindly and welcoming. Two minus points were that... More
