Very much a historical hotel in the style of last century's Scandinavian seaside hotels. Most rooms share a single bathroom per wing, but the facilities are clean and private, and there is rarely a wait. Within easy walking distance of the ferry and bus. No dining included, but dining is available nearby.

I would say this is the best budget hotel standard. Check in is at another building which is about 2 mins drive. There is laundry and dryer available for use. There's mountain view. Room wifi coverage can be improved. The cafe and bakery near the check in (Separate building) is good especially the pizza.

Better than expected because they have refurbished since the property photos were taken. Basic room but clean and comfy. Stunning view of the waterfalls from our window. Bathroom door handle was loose and squeaky.

Very beautiful place, away from everything. Restaurants are very good. Some staff were extremely friendly and helpful (Michaela) others so so. Rooms were cute. Wifi DID NOT WORK IN ROOlM. They don’t give toiletries, so bring all the soaps etc. you cannot get enough of the view! You can catch the shuttle here from the train station. If you catch a taxi (because there are no Ubers here) you must get dropped at the restaurant area building 43! Read your email! Or you will end up walking a far way. You can buy tickets for the ferry and shuttle at by reception and gift shop. This place is a tour stop for cruise ships and tours, so be prepared for the daytime traffic. In the evening when they leave it’s peaceful again. I would definitely come back here again.

Gudvangen Budge Hotel is aptly named. The most I can say is that it was clean. The room is rudimentary at best: a few instant coffee sachets and no tea; one small pillow per person on an ok bed in a small room. The one-night price of >$310.00 USD was beyond ridiculous for this second-floor micro room with nothing to recommend it. I understand supply and demand; I also understand gouging.

This was a beautiful place, right at a famous fjord. With waterfalls coming down all around, a nice restaurant and a really nice reasonable priced gift store. We loved it there!

We had a larger room with private bathroom. Excellent view of the sounding mountains with waterfalls. Friendly staff. Coffee and tea available in the lobby to serve yourself. Very basic accommodation but clean and tidy for a budget hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

Other than that its expensive to take the bus to go and leave the place (160 NOK, for a 20 min ride to go to Flam), I loved it!! Extremely clean and the staff was just amazing, loved my stay, very comfortable room and very beautiful place. There’s a mini fridge in the room and a grocery store/gas station Joker right across the river, a few steps away.

This was more like a hostel -- showers and toilets down the hall which didn't bother me one bit, just unexpected. The location was good and there were good food options nearby. The setting was truly lovely -- who couldn't love opening the window to waterfalls cascading nearby mountains!

Good spot for a quick stop off on the way to Bergen - I was pleasantly surprised with how clean and comfortable the rooms and shared facilities were as I normally don’t book a shared bathroom but everything else was booked out. Staff didn’t have much info to share in travel options which, given it’s the main function of the towm, seemed odd. The bakery was great and the main hotel did a lovely breakfast.

Very comfortable hotel room. There was a washer/drier, which is a real plus. Biggest negative is that it is really confusing where to check in to the hotel-- it is not at the hotel but in another area about 100 meters away.
