Grande Fjord Hotel

非常不錯 環境很棒 能看到峽灣 酒店的餐廳很棒 服務人員很熱情

環境衞生各方面都不錯

Very nice two night stay in June. Hotel is beautifully situated alongside the Fjord with stunning views. The location is a trade-off as the walk to Geiranger village is 1-mile with no sidewalks. There is a van shuttle on-site but was told it did not run in the evenings, which was disappointing. We splurged for the Fjord View room, which was worth it. Sitting on the balcony and watching the ferries and ships come and go was transfixing and very relaxing. The room itself was spacious, clean, and quiet at night for quality sleep. Breakfast was a large buffet with good coffee. The breakfast attendants were a little aggressive – snatching your plate away while you’re nibbling on toast. Parking was a bit unpredictable. There are various spots around the property and not one is straight or level. The staff confirmed the viable spots when in doubt. Takeaways; above average semi-boutique hotel with amazing views but with luxury hotel pricing. Book Fjord View room as a splurge. Walking to village center is unlikely, so plan ahead for meals and such.

Positives - This hotel sits up on a hill from the township. You can walk down but the hotel has an awesome shuttle service, which almost seems bespoke. Brilliant! Views are stunning and our room was perfect with a balcony we used daily. Tea and coffee making facilities and fridge were welcomed. Breakfast was good and with oat milk supplied. Thank you! We even loved the rock music you played while we ate (hilarious). Negatives - Nothing. We would come back tomorrow. What shocked us (not the hotel) was the big cruise liners in the fjord most days. One ship the MSC Euribia could hold 8,000 people I was told, and emblazoned along the side of it was #Save the Sea. Are you kidding me!!!!

My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Grande Fjord Hotel. Based on the website photos I hadn’t expected it to feel so intimate, but it really is a boutique property. We were warmly greeted by Helga upon arrival after taking the car ferry from Hellesylt and were delighted to find that our room was ready for an early check in. Helga was exceedingly congenial and helpful. Our double room with panoramic fjord view had a balcony overlooking the fjord and, due to the location of the hotel, even the most gigantic cruise ships docking in Geiranger can’t block your view. It was bright and airy, scrupulously clean and appealing, with a small bathroom which was nonetheless laid out to use the space efficiently. There was lots of room for personal toiletries and good quality bath products and hair dryer. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet so we slept well. There are a couple of jacuzzis on a deck overlooking the fjord, though we didn’t use them. There’s also an attractive bar in a separate building that serves locally distilled gin and aquavit. I enjoyed a very good G&T there. The restaurant is quite good. They offered only a buffet for breakfast and dinner, however there were good choices at both meals. It’s located about 2 km from town so a car is useful. We liked being close enough to get there easily but far enough to escape the crowds.

This hotel has so much potential because of its location but was a disappointment for multiple reasons. First, it is very understaffed with the person responsible for the reception also being in charge of bringing guests back and forth from the center of Geiranger. This means that one has to wait for him to pick up other guests before checking out. There is to be a better way. (Also, the walk to the center is on a narrow road so while it is a do-able walk, it is not an easy one.) Second, despite having an a la carte dinner menu on its website, it only offers a mediocre, extremely overpriced buffet for dinner. It cost $175 for 2 of us without alcohol! I know that Norway is expensive, but during our trip, we had much better meals for significantly less. Given that the property is not in the center of Geiranger we had no choice but to eat there, but had it been clear online that they only offered an overpriced buffet, we would have eaten in town. Finally, on the hotel's website, it says to get in touch with them to plan hikes and excursions in the area. Despite reaching out to them on numerous occasions prior to our stay, we were not even given the courtesy of a response. At the very least, they could have responded saying they no longer offered such assistance and referred us to the Ticket Office (Tourist Information Center) who were extremely helpful. In conclusion, I would not recommend this hotel.
