10/10 Excellent
"We were upgraded to a room on the top floor overlooking Geiranger and the fjord. There isn't an elevator but you can go around the bldg to enter on the second floor. Parking is adequate at basement level. Dinner was wonderful and reasonably priced for the area. I Highly recommend this hotel with history back to 1893."

"The hotel and restaurant staff were wonderful! We ate dinner at the restaurant which was great! Our room was nice but it was a little noisy and we did get smells from the kitchen. The porch was lovely and we went out there even though it was a little chilly as they had blankets to use."

"Its unclear to me why above people have complained about the breakfast, this place has great options for meat lovers and vegetarians. The breakfast is the usual breakfast one will find all over Norway... the staff were so kind and helpful. The on site electric charger was a godsend. The room we had overlooked the fjord and was wonderful. It's a great place to stay at if you want to be away from the major tourist hotels that are further up the fjord.."

"Driving into Hjelle through the lakeside tunnel was magical. This repurposed schoolhouse was a fantastic place to experience old-world Norwegian living. Loved the nook beds and touches of history. The modern bath and kitchen were integrated well. The property manager was kind and helpful - he let us know when the early snowfall unexpectedly closed down the mountain pass. Was a great site to just relax and enjoy!"
