Extremely rude manager ruined the whole experience
Firstly we arrived at 18.30 to check in, we were hoping to eat in the restaurant but we're told it closed at 6. There is nothing in the local area, the nearest place for food was a 2 hour round trip away. The first lady at reception was really apologetic and tried to do her best but the chef was being difficult and the best we could get was a ham sandwich. When this arrived it was in fact half a sandwich. The next day when we checked out we had a slight issue and the manger was absolutely disgraceful. She was so rude and unhelpful, she even started shouting at us. I have never in my life been spoken to like that as a paying customer. Disgusting attitude and I would advise you avoid this place like the plague.

Response from Brekkestranda Fjordhotell on 19 Jun 2019
Dear customer, if You put this to public, then You should give correct information. First of all You have been offered some food even after kitchen hours ( Sundays) but You refused it . Next day when You were checking out , You refused to pay for accommodation insisting it was already paid which was not correct, (thats the thing You called - slight issue ). You was very rude to us when we told that You have to pay, told us to call hotels.com platform , even though it was clear to us that Your bill is not paid. Thank you to other person who came back and apologized for Your mistake and paid which You couldnt do. Honestly we never had such impolite and dishonest person in our hotel.

Quirky psuedo-log cabin, comfortable and good food
This is a "green-roofed" psuedo-log cabin (actually concrete with cladding), right on the fjord shore. Dinner and breakfast are both excellent and the bed was comfortable. The evening views were amazing!

Great location!
The location and views are amazing! The hotel is beautiful and rustic, with clean, comfortable rooms. A very nice breakfast in a beautiful room or patio overlooking the water. I would definitely stay here again!

I can't even begin to describe how amazing the view was from here, the atmosphere was calm and very relaxing. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming. The food at the hotel restaurant was terrific. My room was spacious, clean and had a wonderful view. I could've stayed there forever.

We chose the Brekkestranda Fjordhotel based on the pictures online. Once we got there it was even more magical that we had anticipated. We had a beautiful view of the fjord from our cabin-like room. Loved the stone flooring in the bathroom. The big fireplace gave the restaurant a rustic feel. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. All staff we encountered were friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful surroundings, nice architecture
We were looking for a quiet nigth on our road trip along the west coast and found Brekkestranda to be a really nice surprise. Good food, nice room, all wood in all different angles, grass covered roofs. Not the traditional Norwegian log houses, but different. We really enjoyed our stay.

Spectacular views
On a tour of the Fjords and the Atlantic Highway so this was a nice stop having arrived at Bergen a couple of days earlier. The location is close to the ferry and in a wonderful isolated spot with glorious views of the fjord. There are two supermarkets about a mile away. The hotel prides itself on Salmon but we were a little dissapointed with ours.

Great little Hobbit hole, on the edge of the fjord
What a great location and chance to get away and see the fjords. Really loved this location and my room opening up on the back side to a porch with a perfect, unobstructed view of the river. Dining onsite was nice and easy, and the service and people were super nice. Very relaxing and just what I was looking for to get away for a day. My room was clean, I got a fresh pot of coffee right away, and the hotel was unique and like a log cabin. Would visit again anytime I am back in Norway.

Quiet place on Sognefjord
We loved our stay here. It was slightly out of the way from the main highway to Bergen, but we thought it was nice to be in a quiet hotel right along the water. We enjoyed the sunset from our patio and we were thankful for the nice breakfast in the morning.

Ikke det vi så for oss
Fikk feil rom,men det ble ordnet opp i. Vinter og kaldt ute,men 15 grader på rommet.fikk temp opp til 18 ila natten,men skikkelig kaldt. Planen var å kose seg på restauranten med middag og frokostbuffé, noe som sto på hotells.com. på romtypen sto det frokostbuffé inkludert.men ingen middag og buffe om vinteren. Kan forstås siden det ikke er sesong ,men bør opplyses på iden,slik at man har spist når man ankommer. Ble nudler fra den lokale matbutikken.. Ble tilbudt matpakke til frokost da,men vi handlet på matbutikken. Reiste hjem tidlig morgen da vi var så kald.

Fint hotel.
Vi ledte efter et afsides liggende hotel og det fik vi. Super hyggeligt hotel med venligt personale. Vores besøg var uden for hoved sæsonen og det kunne mærkes. Men det passede os fint.

Hotell med særpreg
Hyggelig personale, god mat og god seng. Hotellet som ligger like ved Sognefjorden har et gammelt og litt røft preg med grove trematerialer ute og inne. Flere lave bygninger med gresstak. Rommet var litt lite og vi savnet nattbord ved senga som imidlertid var stor og behagelig.
Hotellet sett fra sjøsiden

Anbefales
Fine rom, gode senger. Ingen svarte på tof når jeg ringte for noen spørsmål. Frokosten var helt grei, ikke no mer. Alt i alt et fint sted. Kveldens høydepunkt var en pen sjø ørret rett utenfor hotellet.

Prachtige locatie met wat achterstallig onderhoud. Service was prima maar prijs/kwaliteit laat te wensen over. Ontbijt was ronduit karig en onvoldoende in ons geval.

Vi hadde et flott opphold på Brekkestranda Fjordhotel. Ble vel mottatt ved innsjekking, fikk et flott rom i 2. etasje med utsikt mot sjøen.Vårt opphold var fra lørdag ettermiddag til mandag morgen. Rent og pent, gode senger og rent og fint bad. Frokosten var god og av vanleg standard. Vi spiste middag to kvelder og middagen var veldig god - hovedrett og dessert. God service. Hotellet ligger veldig flott til er er et veldig spesielt hotel når det gjelder bygningsmassen. Vi synes det er merkelig at ikke flere benytter seg av dette hotellet, men det er kanskje fordi det ligger litt avsides til. Det burde markedsføres mye mer. Jeg har hørt om det via en venninne. Søkte det frem på internett og bestilte overnatting på nettet. Vi angrer ikke på dette oppholdet og vil gjerne komme tilbake dit ved en annen anledning.

Se Sognefjorden
Et rolig strøk, ute ved kysten. Flott utsikt utover denne delen av Sognefjorden, som alene er verdt turen hit.
