The grounds were lovely. We wished our room was in the original building, rather than the addition with entrance from the back. The dining area was spectacular and the morning breakfast divine. The presentation was lovely and assortment of sweets and savories was brilliant. We wanted to stay and sit in the dining area for the rest of the day. The stepson who checked us in was the only downside of our stay at Walaker. He was officious, abrupt, discourteous to our driver/guide and made a big deal about serving us dinner. Also, the speaker after dinner barely covered the history of Walaker and the family but seemed very impressed with himself and his humor was sometimes off.

Such an historic beautiful old hotel in Solvorn, Norway for our last stay before leaving the country. We just so happened to arrive the evening of the biggest storm in the last 25 years and our room was right in front of the ferry/dock to see all the action. As we arrived later in the day we were too exhausted to dine there so they brought us nice sandwiches and champagne upon arrival too.

This is a lovely property in a beautiful spot. We stayed in one of the historic rooms in the main building. It was comfortable, quiet, and the water pressure was excellent. The three course dinner with wine pairings was delicious and beautifully presented, if a tad pricey. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. A unique hotel experience that we would definitely do again.

Charming

Gorgeous historical property for which I spent more than usual due to such wonderful reviews from everywhere. I was studying the capital Urnes stave church and could just take the little ferry across the field to get there. The old world charm of the garden with the summer house, the lovely appointed dining room and salon, and the charming village climbing up the hill behind the hotel made the stay delightful. If the dollar weren’t so weak, it would be more affordable!

Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Vi hadde et perfekt opphold. Perfeksjonisme i alle ledd fra vi kom til vi dro. Ikke et eneste irritasjonsmoment. Knallbra mat, og ikke minst en svært kunnskapsrik eier som holdt en interessant og humoristisk historietime. Kan anbefales på det varmeste fra kravstor gjest.

We thought our stay at Walker Hotel was exceptional. The hotel was very charming. We loved the history, the decor, the first rate staff who went way way way out of their way to make sure all their guests had a fantastic visit. The food was fabulous. Loved the gardens, the waterfront, the boat ride across to the Stave Church and hike to waterfalls. Our room was cozy and had a nice view. It couldn't have been better. If you are touring the fjords this place is a must! We hated to leave and it was a highlight of our trip to Norway!

Skønt hotel i gammel stil, på højeste niveau!

Helt fantastisk. Beliggenheden er vidunderlig ved sognefjorden. Turen over til Norges ældste stavkirke er skøn (og ganske kort med en lille færge), og besøget ved stavkirken (som desværre kun kunne ses udefra på denne tid af året) var betagende. Vi var på en tur op til Sognefjellsveien en af dagene, også en kæmpestor oplevelse af storslået natur. Selve hotellet er smukt og holdt i gammel (1800-tals) stil, men med alle moderne bekvemmeligheder, og et avanceret køkken, kulinarisk på højt niveau. Samtidig er betjeningen hyggelig og hjælpsom. Et dejligt ophold!
