Bed & breakfast

The family-run Balestrand Hotell operates on a bed & breakfast basis. It is a very cozy, welcoming place with 30 well-appointed, comfortable, quiet rooms; a large, modern common area with lots of English paperbacks; balconies (in some rooms) and outdoor benches for soaking in the scenery; and Internet and laundry service available for extra.

When reserving, let them know your arrival time, and they’ll pick you up at the ferry. Singles from 590kr, doubles from 840kr (150kr less without a view or balcony). Prices include breakfast.

The owners are Unni-Marie Kvikne who is one of the daughters of the Kvikne hotel owning family, her California-born husband Eric Palmer and their three children.

Open late May through early September

Norway Meets California

A very nice hotel at a reasonable price, run by a Balestrand native and her Californian husband. Rooms are large and comfortable, some with views of the fjord. Nice common areas, with a sitting room and a library. Excellent Norwegian-style buffet breakfast.

Unique Quality: - Rooms with excellent views
- Plentiful advice on the area
- Pickup/dropoff at boat dock or bus stop on request
- Internet and laundry service available (for extra cost)
