Overall, we had a nice stay. We arrived about 7:30 pm, a little too late for dinner, and should have arrived earlier. The room was small and the beds were too soft and too low to the floor to in our opinion, but the room was clean, the shower was hot and water pressure was great, though the stall was quite small.

The hotel is quaint and friendly. All meals are excellent and the staff are very helpfulI. The hotel is located a little off the beaten track. so apart from a small grocery store there is little else to the town. It is however close to lots of hiking trails and the Jostedal National Park and glacier. And the views from the hotel are stunning.

Arrived a bit late right after 8pm. Missed part of hotel dinner process, and there is no other options in the town. We were glad they could accommodateed us in. The room is old style. Lack of convenient electric outlets. Shower is really simple, just a curtain, and very small.

Location stuuning and rich history of the area provided at hotel, which I loved!. While I recognize that this is a historic home, there are simple upgrades that should be done for basic confort of guests. The room we stayed in had stained beds (base of fabric bed) and pulls/tears on \"mattress\" (matress topper by US standards) which was by far the most uncomfortable one we slept on in our 16 day trip through Norway, walls paper thin literally heard the man in the next room snoring all night and people throughout the hotel walking about, lastly the bathroom sink was actually in the shower...odd and awkward to shower in. We stayed in two other historic properties on our trip and none of these challenges were present. For the high price of this hotel, some further considerations should be made.

Great spot to stay tiny historic hotel. Great staff and had an excellent 3 course dinner they prepared with wine offerings. Rooms are tiny and no sound proofing but that’s to be expected some in an old rustic building. You will hear everything. I used a white noise machine and it was fine but beware.

I loved EVERYTHING about my stay with one caveat - there is only one dining option in Fjærland- the hotel.

The breakfast buffet, included in the room, was great.

The 3 course dinner was good, but not great and
extremely expensive. Nearly $100 without beverage.

Quirky characterful property with a stunning location right on the fjord.
We stayed 1 night on our 2 week trip around Southern Norway and had a \"compact\" room which had a lot of character (I hadn't slept in a library before!).

First impression was not good! Construction going on in the front of the hotel so had to carry bags all the way around the back and up stairs to get into the building. They put us in a room on the second floor over dining area which was very noisy. Not a good sign when they provide you with earplugs in the room. You definitely need them! Walls are paper thin so if you like to sleep this is not the hotel for you. You hear everything! Yes, it is very charming and the people are super friendly. Dinner was good but you only have 1 choice and that’s whatever they decide that evening. One disappointment at dinner no fresh greens which I think would be easy for them to provide you with a salad with dinner. Breakfast was very limited. They ran out of eggs our second morning. I bought my own bananas and kiwi at the store and sliced them with the yogurt they provided, since they only had whole apples and pears. Bathrooms are tiny and towel’s definitely need to be upgraded, worst I’ve seen in a hotel that charges $275 a night. Again the construction was very disappointing and really should have let people know before we booked the hotel. If you think you are going to relax in a quiet setting on the beautiful fjord not so much when you have saws and drills in the background at your hotel. They should have discounted all rooms during the construction because you couldn’t even sit outside to enjoy the area without the construction noise. Hot tub also under construction.

Funky old historic house in tiny Fjord village with great breakfast and dinner!
If you like old eclectic homes with squeaky boards, ancient artwork and stunning views this is the place for you! The staff are unbelievable and share nightly stories about their village and community of 340 people! The food was way above our expectations both for the breakfast and dinner. They also have a fully functioning bar and lounge area (the only
One in town). The town doesn’t have much but it’s in a great location for day trips to the infamous glaciers and other beautiful hikes

Staying here is a must

We loved our stay here. We wished we could have stayed longer. Situated on the fjord it was so peaceful and serene. You did just want to relax. The view from the sitting room was spectacular. The earplugs provided for any noise weren't necessary in the end. We thoroughly recommend chef Freddy's 3 course dinner with the paired wines, just divine. Lots of fresh, locally sourced food and by local I mean the farm down the road. Breakfast was just as delicious with more locally sourced foods and homemade breads, jams, nugatti, waffles mix. All the staff were lovely and I appreciated the helpful emails before our arrival.

Located on a beautiful fjord!

I stayed in a single room at the Fjaerland Fjordstove for one night. My room was clean but felt old as this is an older hotel. I had a beautiful view of the fjord which makes up for the older room. It was very loud as I could hear others talking, walking, turning on the water, etc. I had to sleep with ear plugs in. It's located on a beautiful fjord and quiet town - for location alone, I loved it! They had an amazing breakfast spread that is included. I would come back just for the breakfast!

Simply lovely in every way!

We just stayed in room 109 with our two daughters. I can't think of words adequate enough to describe the setting and our enjoyment in this lovely hotel. It harkens back to another era. The owner gives an informal speech every evening in the fm drawing room about the history of the hotel, Fjaerland, and the local geology...then the dining room doors swing open and guests are invited to enter. The food is top quality and locally sourced. There are boats and bicycles to use. Do yourself a favor and stay more than one night. We wish we had!

Amazing location along the fjord with very friendly service and a good chef. Wonderful atmosphere with a a unique proprietor. Bring your blinders and ear plugs as this is an old hotel with modest sound insulation and very bright early morning sun.

Great hotel, lovely people, stunning views.

Really enjoyed our stay. The communal lounge and dining room spaces were wonderful, and a great opportunity to speak to other guests in a relaxed atmosphere with stunning views. The meals were of a very high standard and the staff friendly and helpful. It is a beautiful setting, close to the Glacier Museum which was excellent. Make sure you visit the glaciers - they are easily accessible. Bed was comfortable, although the room was a little small. However, we hardly spent any time in our room as the public areas of the hotel were fabulous.

Hyggelig hotel

Hotellet har en fantastisk beliggenhed med flot udsigt over fjorden og gletsjere, og personalet var meget venligt. Selve atmosfæren var hyggelig, men vores værelse - specielt toilettet - var meget slidt, og sengene kunne have været mere komfortable. Da der ikke var andre spisemuligheder i nærheden, endte vi med at spise på hotellet, hvor både mad og ophold var alt for dyrt i forhold til, hvad man fik.

Man muss mE klar unterscheiden zwischen dem Hotel und dem Restaurant.

Während das Hotel Charm versprüht, schön eingerichtet ist, die Zimmer zwar klein aber sehr gemütlich wirken und die Aufenthaltsräume eine schöne Atmosphäre haben, ist das kulinarische Erlebnis deutlich unterdurchschnittlich, was in eklatantem Gegensatz zur Selbstdarstellung steht. Das fixe Dreigangmenü kostet NOK 995 und bestand aus drei Scheiben Rauchfleisch (als Carpaccio angepriesen) auf Rucola, gefolgt von grau gegarter Entnbrust mit geschmacksneutralem Rotkohl, ungesalzenem Kartoffelpüree und drei Stangen grünen Spargel sowie einem Gläschen Mousse au Chocolat auf Keks. Wir haben in 2 Wochen nicht schlechter gegessen und dieses Menü war 300 NOK teurer als vergleichbare Angebote in historischen Hotels. Leider gibt es im Ort quasi keine andere Option, trotzdem bewerte ich das Hotel stand-alone. Das Restaurant sehe ich bei 2 Sternen. Meine einzige Erklärung hierfür ist, dass nicht das reguläre Küchenteam am Start war - iderxes einen Wechsel in der Küche gab.

Hingegen weiß das Frühstück durchweg zu überzeugen!

Wer sich übrigens über die Duftstäbchen im Zimmer wundert: Abends stinkt der Fjord je nach Wetter nicht unerheblich. Da kann aber das Hotel nichts für!
