    antique decor
    local wines
    helpful staff
    chaotic buffet

    the food was decent,, but the buffet during peak hours felt chaotic. however, the old section of the hotel really stood out with its antique decor✨. plus, the bar served fantastic local wines and the staff were generally helpful.

    beautiful old hotel
    scenic fjords
    cozy common area
    noisy tour groups
    overcrowded dining area

    Had a fantastic two-night stay with friends! The beautiful old hotel gave us a unique vibe, and we loved exploring the scenic fjords and hiking up the mountain. Breakfast was solid, and some nights we enjoyed the cozy common area while listening to live music. Make sure you book in the historic part for the best views!

    However, we faced some hassle with noisy tour groups. At times, the dining area felt overcrowded, which took away from the intimate atmosphere we hoped for. Definitely not ideal for a quiet dinner.

    historic charm
    extensive art collection
    delicious dinner buffet
    lack of children's area

    The historic part of the hotel is charming, with an extensive art collection that captivated my children and me. We enjoyed the dinner buffet, which was delicious and filled with a variety of options suitable for everyone, even our baby.

    In my wife’s opinion, a dedicated children's area would enhance the family experience.

    historic charm
    breathtaking views
    delicious food
    outdated bathrooms
    crowded atmosphere
    minimal amenities

    The Kviknes Hotel offers stunning views of the fjord, easily one of the best aspects of staying here. The historic building has charming antiques and a cozy vibe. My room had a lovely balcony. It was a joy to sit out there, taking in the breathtaking scenery with a drink in hand. The food options are fantastic. I enjoyed the a la carte menu, and breakfast was well-stocked and delicious. However, some parts of the hotel feel a bit outdated. The bathrooms could use better safety features, especially for older guests. I noticed minimal toiletries provided, which was disappointing. The dining area got crowded with tour groups, making it tough to find a quiet spot sometimes. Despite the minor inconveniences, I would happily return, drawn by the hotel’s rich history and breathtaking views.
