The hotel itself is nothing special. Not extremely tidy, not extremely cosy, not extremely stylish. Dinner is extremely expansive (as it is everywhere in Norway) and not very high-quality. Rooms were a bit grey - Best thing on the rooms was the variety in TV-channels. But the location, next to the spectacular lake with a view on the 'Fjords', makes... More

If you're in Ulvik, this is the hotel to stay in, as far as location goes--it has a nice lawn that goes down to the water, with a couple of terraces (one outdoor and one glassed-in) that are very nice places to relax. Definitely spring for the fjord-view room, it's a beautiful view and otherwise you'll be looking at the... More

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of an independent touring holiday. The setting and views down the fjiord were wonderful. For relaxing indoors there were lots of varied places with comfortable seating as well as some chairs outside. The staff were pleasant and friendly, including a competent but not intrusive pianist in the bar area. The room had a... More

My experience was something I never had before at a Hotel. I've stayed here for a couple of days now and I never felt so welcome before. They are redoing the interior right now but they work only nights and are very quiet. They make me and my colleague feel like home. the view is simply stunning and the town... More

The setting was really stunning - a rather old hotel - but who wants to stay in something brand new in such a historical location! Very peaceful little town, and hotel (apart from the wedding reception going on downstairs until all hours) - breakfast and dinner was fine, both buffets - nothing extravagant, just the basics really. The rooms were... More

We have just returned from a week's family stay in the Brakanes Hotel (August 2007). Our rooms were on the fourth floor overlooking the fjord so we had amazing views from the balconies. That side of the hotel (overlooking the fjord) would be quieter than the back end that overlooks the road. There is a disco on Friday and Saturday... More
