"Ulvik was a repositioning stop for us from Flam to the dinner at IRIS/Salmon eye, so we didn't expect much from the small town nor the hotel. But it turned out to be a surprise to the upside, compared to Flam Fretheim or Bergen Opus XVI hotel. We booked a premium room with Fjord view and what a view that embraced us upon entering the room. The hardinger Fjord with imposing cliffs and narrow pathway is one lawn away from our eyes. Our room was on 3rd floor and both balcony doors open out to the balcony with simple furnishing for an outdoor drink or dinner. The room has a light Nordic touch, light blue and light birch with mustard color very comfortable lounge chairs. Instead of the heavy or period decor, this furnishing style makes the room look airy, spacious and chic. Kudos to the taste. There is a decorative fireplace that adds a period touch but with a contemporary flare. The heating panel actually worked here. The town was small with very limited food options other than the hotel itself or a Cafe next door, but that aside a walk along the river to watch how evening light and cloud moved around the seeing sun was extremely satisfying. The calm water makes incredible reflection of the world above. The view couldn't be better. The following day when we got to Rosendal to board Salmon Eye, our hotel room had frontal Fjord View as well but the cliff drop wasn't as dramatic as Brakanes view. Glad we took many pictures we did. Other than that, the service was efficient and friendly, breakfast was good but not elaborate. No espresso machine in the room but there is one in the lobby and there is a tea kettle in the room. All in, amazing view, chic room and all beyond our expectations. "

"Perfect for families with not too old children and adults who want to spend the night in a place with quiet and beautiful surroundings"

"We stayed at this hotel because the Brakanes Hotel was fully booked, but we were not very impressed by it. The hotel room seemed worn out, the breakfast was average, and nothing stood out as exceptional. We also found it strange that we had to speak English at a hotel in Norway. There was not much to do in Ulvik when we visited in June 2023. However, the location of the hotel was very good, with a nice view of the fjord. We think this hotel has a lot of potential if it gets renovated. We are a couple in our 50s."

"we arrived at 1130, but there was no staff there. After a while we got to speak to an employee who said we could only find a place and come up to pay after 1500. We found our place and went out on a bike ride. When we returned at 1500 the same person came down to say that we could not stand where we did - and that in the meantime it had become full. We were regularly expelled. He blamed the boss who was so strict, and showed no thought at all of solving the problem. We were told to leave. This is the most horrible customer service we have ever experienced. This man needs to be fired. We quickly got out of the "hole" Ulvik, and chose just as well to end the holiday. after 6 hours we are finally home and can relax."
