Having just left Ullensvang Hotel today, and now writing from Bergen, I must comment on our all too short stay here at this fantastic location. Being a long way from home in a country with such spectacular scenery so foreign to ours, what better place to soak up the atmosphere! It would have to be unique amongst hotels anywhere in... More

Dear Family Abbott! Thank you for your recent visit and thank you for your lovely comments on TA whilst you still are in the country! We wish having been able to accommodate you two nights as you requested for so that you had more time to explore everything, but we unfortuntately didn't get any rooms available. Still, we are thrilled... More

The setting is spectacular for this tour group heavy facility. Staff is very nice. Rooms are ok but there is only heating no cooling. Buffet quite good. The Internet service is unreliable. As choices few in the area this is as good as it gets. Spring for a fjord view room, the pArking lot doesn't do it.

Dear sir Thank you for your post on TA. The US market is used to air conditoning - in Norway, the temperatures are in average too low in order to justify an investment like that. Furthermore, we are committed to working as environmental friendly as only possible. In summer, we take the cold water from the bottom of the fjord... More

I stayed in this hotel for a day as part of a sponsored training... The pictures of the hotel and the surrounding areas on their website were beautiful, but to see them in the flesh was stuinning...

Dear DadaC Thank you very much for your kind message on TA. We are very pleased that you still treasure your stay with us even though it has been a while ago.

This is a very nice family-run hotel in a wonderful location. The rooms are comfortable and the service in the hotel is very good. Possibly the nicest and most unique feature of the hotel is the number of sitting rooms all very tastefully decorated and with elegant furniture. Of course the views of the fjord are stunning and there is... More

Nothing bad to say about this hotel. Except it is narrow roads in the area. But the hotel is excellent, the staff nice and helpful. The rooms are good and the atmosphere is just awesome. Food from the best commodities from the area. Privately owned.

Dear Goalerhill Thank you for your kind lines. The narrow roads in our area will hopefully be soon part of the past...! The Hardanger Bridge will open at latest on June 1st 2013 (7th longest suspension bridge in the world!) and that must at some point lead into upgrading the nearby roads. Welcome back and kind regards, the Utne family More

Actually has the original hotel but with additions iin keping with the style. I loved staying here as our room had a wonderful view of Hardanger Fjord - the room itself very comfortable and quite large, with a balcony to enjoy the view. Lovely dining with entertainment, staff friendly and willing to please.

I usually travel as a single but this time I was part of a family group and we had 5 rooms. Rooms are comfortable with a traditional look with dark wood funiture.

Sure, this place has a view. Then again, there are plenty of hotels in Norway that have great views of fjords. None of this matters if you can't get a good night of sleep. My room had two single beds pushed together. The beds were like trampolines. After several hours of trying to keep from falling on the floor I... More
