Room not too bad. We were by the end of September and everything was closed, including the Hotel Restaurant. The only alternative was a buffet dinner in a nearby hotel. The only one open This place is not so good for a stopover. Try another place.

Wonderful views over mountains and fjord. Handy location next to Dragsvik ferry terminal. Staff friendly, casual atmosphere. Room basic and bed comfortable. Twinings tea bags, kettle and small bar fridge in room. But plastic cups to drink Twinings tea from? Terrible, so I got a china cup and saucer from downstairs. Dinner was nice but like everywhere in Norway so expensive for what is good home style cooking. Good hot water in bathroom and amenities. The only things I noticed were: no toilet paper holder but were just put on the the multiple toilet roll storage holder. Design of bathroom a bit cramped as when you open the shower door it hits the edge of the wash basin so would have better designed although quite modern fittings. Overall very good though.

Fabulous setting and views. We were in a cabin a short walk from the main building. The bathroom had been refurbished and was really nice. The rest of the cabin badly needed to be done as well as it was very worn. Lighting was dreadful. Electric heating pretty effective though

Comfortable stay.

Fabulous views over the fjord despite overcast weather. Comfortable although basic room. Very tight bathroom ! Great shower. Nice meal in the restaurant, prices high as you would expect. Ferry to and from was very easy and well managed with very accurate time schedules.

Not as I had expected.

We got probably the worst room in the place so our experience was affected by that. The views most rooms and the dining room and outdoor areas are fabulous. It’s by the ferry landing but that wasn’t a problem. It wasn’t quite as nice overall as I had expected though given the price.

Dragsvik Fjordhotel

The front desk was very friendly, even carried my heavy luggage to the second floor. There was no elevator. The rooms were small but they provide plenty public space around the property to relax. The fjord view from the room was great. The breakfast was excellent. The location was a bit out of the way. But it took only 10 minutes to drive to Balestrand where most restaurants were located.

This is a very quaint hotel run by a very nice staff who made a lot of efforts to give us a pleasant stay. The hotel is situated on a peninsula with panoramic views of beautiful mountains and fjords. We had two delicious dinners and three wonderful breakfasts at the hotel. It would help future travelers if their website made it more clear that, without a car rental, there is no easy way to come off the speedboat in Balestrand and get to the hotel with your luggage. It’s a 10 km trip around the little water inlet, so you can’t walk it with luggage and taking the local bus would be cumbersome with luggage. If you know this ahead of time, you can plan how you want to manage it.

Amazing location on a peninsula with panoramic views. I think the logistics involved with the place should be made more clear up front. We deduced that we needed a rental car to get from the boat to the hotel when we mapped out the place, but others seemed to have been more caught off guard.

Perfect location. We got room with a balcony and a beautiful view. In additional to all standard amenities in a hotel, the Dragsvik Fjordhotel made us feel that they honestly and wholeheartedly wanted to make our stay comfortable. Thanks to Magnar (the hotel manager?).

I made the reservation as a stopover hotel on our route through Norway and we got a very pleasant surprise. It is a family hotel, with a personalized treatment by the person who attended us. Breakfast was nice and it came with a view, all with natural products and very good quality. Would have loved to stay here for a couple more nights.

Highly recommend for road trips

Such a wonderful place to stay! We booked a normal double room and found the room to be close to the parking lot with a lot of noise from the road. Upon asking, the staff helped us find another room, which actually was an upgrade to a comfort double. The room had a kitchenette and was spotlessly clean with amazing views of the fjord. The bed was very comfy. The breakfast was standard european style, and dinner was a little expensive (as is everything in Norway). The only downside of the hotel is the location. My wife and I were able to get to the hotel fine via the ferry from Hella, but buses to and from Balestrand were limited, so I would not recommend staying here if you don't have a car. The hotel does have a shuttle service to and from Balestrand for a price. Also, there are no grocery markets or restaurants nearby; all are in Balestrand. However, the area around is beautiful and quiet, and the staff are always willing to help out and give local recommendations.

One of our best hotel experiences anywhere.

Fantastic family run hotel where you are treated like part of the family. Clean and comfortable with great view and nice outside sitting areas. Outstanding restaurant for dinner. Good breakfast that you could pack a lunch from for a small additional fee (great value). One of our best hotel experiences anywhere.

Wonderful hotel in a stunning location.

Made to feel very welcome on arrival & throughout the stay. Location is incredible with views across the fjord in different directions. Food was excellent, made even better by the view of the glacier from the dining room. Room very comfortable. Definitely one to visit again.

The location, overlooking the fjord can't be beat. It was cloudy and rainy when we were there, but it was still beautiful. The family member (forgot his name) who checked us in was very amiable and he gave us a room larger than we even needed. The only caveat is that some of the vegetables at breakfast were out right old and rotten - something they should have realize and not have put out on the buffet. Apart from that, it was a cool stay.
