Nice stay at the Gudvangen Fjordtell before heading up north. It can get busy when a bus rolls in as it is at a crossroads to more of the country. The owner I believe was, Olaf is the nicest man and had a wonderul idea for us to travel to via car. We just LOVED Aselunde! The most historic coastal northern city we drove to in Norway.

Staff was all very friendly and wanted to make sure you were taken care of. We stayed one night as we took a ferry from Bergen to Flåm in order to get to Oslo. We stayed in a room with a kitchen and if we had to do it over would've stayed a couple nights and done hiking in the area. The room was clean and there was plenty of space. The property had 2 restaurants and a third at the viking village was available. Good experience for less than 24 hour stay and beautiful location.

Our room was very clean and well maintained. Breakfast had lots of options. We had a very short walk to see amazing fjord views, we also walked to nearby grocery store. Our only negative was the staff member in the back office smoking when we checked in. The whole place smelled of cigarette smoke that evening. Luckily our room was in a separate building.

The hotel is located very close to the pier from where we had to take the ferry. It is also right next to the bus station in Gudvangen. It is a very short walk from here to the Viking village. The views all around are stunning.

Nice hotel

We booked an 8-bed house. It was very clean, and there was a washbasin in every bedroom. The breakfast was a big bonus – very delicious! Just a small downside: the lady working at the breakfast bar wasn’t very friendly. I asked for a baby chair, and she just pointed to where it was, so I had to carry it myself. But when another guest asked for water, she brought it to him directly. It felt a bit discriminatory.

Cute hotel in a beautiful location

Very good experience, next to the fjord, the location is magnificent. Good breakfast with several options. They have an outside area where you can sit and admire the nature. The rooms are cute with Nordic decor. The only issue was that there is a window in the roof that doesn't close, so in spring/summer the sunrise is super early and if you don't have an eye cover you'll wake up, I believe the hotel should have courtesy eye covers. Luckily, I had a headband that I could use to cover my eyes.
