Fagernes hotels

Pros: Although we were only there one night on a stop-over from Bergen to Oslo, my girlfriend and I wished we had stayed longer. The Herangtunet Hotel is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Perfect place for a quiet getaway in one of the skiing areas of Norway. Also a great place for families to come and unwind.

Cons: Only downside is Kayak doesn't tell you that in order to get dinner on any of your nights you must order and pay in advance. It is a husband and wife operation so they have to know how many people to cook for. However, breakfast is included!

Pros: I felt pampered, cared for. I don't know when I have experienced better. The owner is warm and thoughtful as well as most talented in cuisine and ambiance . I came away rested and refreshed.

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Pros: Nicely styled room, friendly staff and pleasant dining area

Cons: There was a lack of warm dishes for breakfast.

Pros: Really special hotel! Not the cheapest, but value for money. Very friendly staff, they pay personal attention to the guests. Good beds, good shower Nice food, good breakfast

Pros: The restored buildings and interior design of rooms and dining area were exceptional and beautiful. The staff/were very accommodating and helpful. The atypical room design themes will appeal to many.

Cons: The Friday evening dinner of “traditional” grazing board of local cold meats, cheeses and salad, while generous and tasty, was not our preference. Had we known, we would have dined elsewhere to have a nice hot meal. From reviews the cooking is supposed to be good but we did not get to experience it.

Pros: We had a wonderful stay! Perfect location for cross country skiing. The food is just amazing and the staff is very helpful and comfortable. We booked the Roma suite and the atmosphere in this room is so cozy! Also the fireplace was used a lot after a long day in the ski tracks☀️❄️

Pros: Perfect boutique hotel set in very nice surroundings. Easy going atmosphere, we enjoyed our stay with great beds and good food (breakfast + dinner).

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff. Good, healthy food, clean and cozy

Cons: Weak WiFi

Pros: Execellent service and staff. Dinner was super!

Pros: The owner and staff. Nicest and best I ever met

Cons: Not their fault but more public buses to Beitostølen would be nice. I only say this because I had a specific schedule to adhere to. I knew it might be a small issue

Pros: The hotel is located in a forest, kind of in the middle of nowhere but that's lovely! The room was amazing, with a fireplace we could use whenever we wanted. The common areas are all very nice too, great breakfast, and great dinner! There's a sauna you can rent for a few hours which is also exceptional.

Pros: Exellent staff and food

Cons:

Pros: A very charming and butiful hotel. We will be back!

Cons:

Pros: We really enoyed our stay there...I can't think of anything I would change...

Pros: We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was of a nice and modern design (we stayed 3 nights at the New York suite), it was spacious, luxury and comfortable. We also booked for the dinners which every night were different, home-made, surprizing and very good for an acceptable price. The hotel is run by an enthusiastic, kind and helpfull young couple.

Pros: We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was of a nice and modern design (we stayed 3 nights at the New York suite), it was spacious, luxury and comfortable. We also booked for the dinners which every night were different, home-made, suprizing and very good for an acceptable price. The hotel is run by an enthusiastic, kind and helpful young couple. Absolutely recommendable !!!

Pros: We found the hosts to be gracious and accommodating. The room was very comfortable with a wonderful bed and bedding. Very good dinners.

Pros: Small size family owned hotel with "an eye for detail". No room is the same, all designed carefully based on different countries. Very nice and helpful owners; relaxed atmosphere; very good coffee! Quiet location; Plenty opportunities to sit outside; close to Jotunheimen (east side about 45 minutes drive) and a lake (5 minutes to public beach). Possibility to have a nice 3-course meal for a reasonable price.

Pros: A wonderful room in a beautiful setting and environment.The staff was superb! I would be happy to recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.

Cons:

Pros: Very beautiful hotel, the room was large and we had a kitchen and table. The food was fantastic. We traveled with our little daughter, and that was no problem. The area was very child friendly and she loved the owner of the hotel:)

Cons: None.

Pros: The location was incredible and the rooms exquisitely furnished. Fantastic breakfast and lovely hosts, including their young son who coped admirably with sharing his toys with our children. Good value for money considering the high cost of everything in Norway.

Cons: In our room (swedish room) there were hanging glass lampshades within easy reach of our young children, one of which got broken and we were given a large bill for (72nok). I don't think this is an ideal room for small children to share, although the hotel in general was child friendly. It would have been nice to have some facilities to make a drink or even glasses for water in the room.

Pros: A beautiful place to sray

Pros: The host said during check-in "old-fashion building..." but not exactly - That's a lovely place with a soul! We so missed such places in our urban life.

Pros: A lovely place with nice views. Near the fjord and the wood. The hosts are really friendly. The place is quite old, but it is the most important thing. It means absolute calmness and quietness. There are no Tv in the rooms and it’s good, because almost all the rooms with the fjord view or mountain view. The hosts will show you the places where you can find mules be walking around.

Pros: We were so happy after our trip to arrive in this cozy place, we felt rigth at home. The beds were amazing, and we had a great night sleep. The entire retro atmosphere was fantastic. we will defenitley recommend this. and if the weather would have been nicer, or warmer, the porch or nearby swimming option would have been an fun addition..thank you betty and rob

Pros: Basic, but nice breakfast with home-made bread. Friendly owner, beautifully decorated balcony.

Cons: There is only one shower and one toilet for each gender. We were lucky since we were the only guests on that day. I guess it might be a bit crowded if all the rooms are fully booked.

Pros: Location, staff and breakfast

Cons: Don't know

Pros: Clean room, toilets and bathroom. Good breakfast and dinner (dinner is extra). Welcoming nice owners. Grocery shop close, 5 minutter walk. Short driving distance to the mountain, Vaset and Syndin is the one I visited. About 20 minutter drive in to Fagernes if you want to do some shopping and/or eat at some restaurant.

Cons: Nothing that I can think about.

Pros: Very friendly and flexible owners. Arrived late but they stayed up to let me in. Also very friendly and flexible arranging special early breakfast at raceday, we started MTB Offroad Valdres 7AM Saturday. Also worth mention is how clean the place was. This is very important when having room with shared bathroom and showers. Here that was not a problem. So clean.

Pros: The location was right next to the road but not to close so that you would get disturbed by traffic, super easy to find and the breakfast was very nice with home made bread. The house itself have a charming interior with a history attached to it.

Cons: Perhaps a few more tables outside for people who maybe wants to use their camping gear and cook some dinner or just chill with a beer or some other beverage, the parking was abit tight if you wanted to park right infront of the building, but there were other spots to park at as well, this was more like a inconvinience at most.

Pros: A lovely property with good design, clean and comfortable. Staff super friendly and helpful. A really lovey stay.

Cons: Showers a little small

Pros: The staff were all super friendly and hospitable. Breakfast is only from 8am onwards which is a little late if you need an early start. Hotel management were willing to accomodate us so we could have breakfast half an hour earlier which was great! Unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy the breakfast as we were in a rush... We'd stay here again if only for the amazing staff who made us feel so much at home in such a short time!

Cons: There was no refridgerator or kettle in the room which was a bit inconvenient for us as we were going on a hike the next day and had wanted to keep our drinks cold, and also make some tea for our thermos. However, hot water was available for that purpose in the breakfast area.

Pros: the owners are very friendly. even though the lady’s english isn’t the best, her personality is so bubbly. it is a nice stop on our road trip from Bergen to Oslo. you can also do hiking behind the hotel.

Cons: the food on the menu is very “heavy” as it is more suitable for winter. i wish there could be more vegetable options. the room is a bit small.

Pros: How we was met. Late dinner especially made for us. Smiling lady. Good atmosphere.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Hovda Valdres fjellhotell was the best experience in our Norway vacation. We had late check-in but the restaurant had been opened especially for us by Henrik and Nadia and we had delicious dinner. Nadia’s dessert on an ancient Norvic recipe made us feeling as at home. Thank you guys for hike recommendation that was really helpful!

Pros: Good location, clean rooms and extremely accommodating couple. We stayed 1 night here and though it was late notice of us arriving at property late, they were very accommodating and went out of there way to assist us. Thank you very much.

Cons: We had a brilliant stay

Pros: Beautiful hotel with excellent and exceptionally friendly staff. The lobby and the sitting room are very comfortable to sit in and rather stylish, the rooms are more on the simpler side - but they have all you need. We got a very warm welcome (in German, English, and Norwegian) and even a kettle for our room when we asked for one. Parking is possible in front of the Hotel. Our room was to the street side (but quiet nonetheless) with a view down the river. Hiking maps were provided at the reception as well as in the room and they were a good idea for a short evening hike. Breakfast was plenty and delicious, with regional specialities. We would stay here again - thank you very much!

Cons: Bathroom could be a bit bigger and after showering, the bathroom floor was all wet, so you have to be a bit careful. The walls of the hotel rooms are not the thickest, so we could hear our neighbours early in the morning.

Pros: Nice staff, comfortable bed, excellent calm and silent place, good breakfast. If will travel across Norway again will stay in next time.

Pros: Amazing location, charm, and peaceful comfort. Staff very welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is top quality classic Norwegian style. Dinners here are fantastic and on par with the best restaurants anywhere.

Pros: We rarely were so warmly welcomed in a Hotel. Nina is a perfect host, also caring about The guests. Thanks a lot. A very good experience of Norwegian hospitality.

Pros: The views from this hotel are amazing, and the inside is cozy and warm. The staff are so friendly and welcoming here. What a delightful place to be!

Pros: Very nice place to stay, cosy and very friendly. We just use it as place to sleep. But it seems like ideal place to stay for couple of days for hiking and relaxing.

Cons: With all fees (to get to the hotel and for linen&towel), this stay could costs more than excepted, but this is very common in Norway.

Pros: Spacious, well equiped

Cons: Although we have confirmed the booking, the reception is closed when we arrived at 7:00 (within the specific check-in time), no notice found on the door, no email, no message left to tell us what to do. We were on an isolated mountain top with nobody around at that time. So we need to pay expensive international phone calls to find the booking.com and the host. End up the host told us the door key was on the door of cabin no. 9. But there was no site map telling us where was that. We finally found the cabin, but totally exhausted.

Pros: Clean, comfortable. Only arrived 6pm and left 6am so can't comment on much other than the cabin we stayed in.

Cons: Rediculous extra hidden charge for linen. 650NOK for 1 night of 4 sheets & towels. Also have to pay 40NOK for boom hate on driveway every pass.

Pros: Location is nice.

Cons: * When we entered the cottage, it smelled bad. Maybe they should have used some room freshener before giving the keys. We arrived very late and asked the host to keep the keys to the door as reception will be closed at that time. We searched for 20 minutes for the keys and finally contacted the host via phone and received them(Good thing is, the host answered the phone and gave the keys during midnight). * There is no microwave * Hot water is very low. Doesn't look like it stores enough for 8-9 persons. Waited for 1+ hour to heat them again and it didn't work.

Pros: The bathroom was newly renovated. Bed was comfy.The personell was friendly.

Cons: We stayed in the main house and couldn’t understand the good reviews of this place: you pay 40K toll fee to drive up there, the smell of old frying oil hits you when you enter, the food (buffet) was absolutely horrible, the breakfast the worst in 2 weeks travel. As its in the middle of nowhere other restaurant options are difficult. Everything is old.Dont go there!

Pros: This was a positive surprise for us, we did not expect such a nice place and accommodation. Very nice surroundings.

Cons: It's wooden 2 floors house, so sometimes you can hear the neighbors from upstairs.

Pros: The property owner was nice but I have been unable to get a response for the money they owe me. It is a beautiful setting

Cons: The cost of the linen and towels was nearly equal to the cost of the cabin It cost you money to get to the cabin as you have to go through a toll, that means you cannot leave and return without paying the toll again I was overcharged for the dinner which was very expensive and even though I was told that I would be refunded, the property then told me there were additional cleaning fees and they would not refund me Too many hidden costs, this was not a cheap place to stay as we thought it would be

Pros: Good walking tours

Cons: The beds. It is The worst bed I ever have slept in

Pros: Good breakfast. Good location and view over the lake. Nice balcony.

Cons: Unclean bathroom and blocked sink. No toiletries. No tea making facilities. No lockbox. Room very warm with not fan or air conditioning. No water fountain in the gym. Door handle to room broken. Very hard to open. Low quality bed mattress. Mini fridge broken and switched off Small room. Only one person at check-in. Slow process.

Pros: Good for parking, swimming pool. Good buffet in evening and good breakfast.

Pros: Great breakfast, great view - if you get a lake facing room. The person at the reception (Alexander) was extremely helpful and positive.

Pros: Nice location, free parking, very good breakfast, very nice dining room, very friendly staff

Cons: too expensive Hotel for low average standard room, uncomfy bed, worn out bathroom equipment, smelly shower soap, location of TV screen was strange

Pros: Modern room with good beds and a lovely bath, central location and easy to find, great breakfast

Pros: It was just right friendly staff great breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very good breakfas :)

Pros: Great location by the water, beautiful view from our balcony. And the complimentary breakfast was amazing! Everything you could want and more....and very good!

Pros: The breakfast table was excellent

Cons: The reception staff and that there were no dinner or service on a Sunday . To eat one had to go to a local out of the hotel facility. Not ideal after several hours of driving

Pros: In the middle of nature!

Pros: Location to hike to Skaget. Everything is somehow clean, and all very basic equipment in the kitchen is available. The room equipped with TV cable, so that we have enough entertainment in the evening. No WiFi, and mobile data is sometimes poor as well, but I consider it perfect, as we need sometimes without internet when having vacation.

Cons: Unfortunately, ants entered one of the room and bed. My son has red spots everywhere on his arm, leg and other parts of his body the next day. We were not sure if it is because we open the window or exist from before. In summer, perhaps check each bed before customer coming would be great. But we have no problem in another room.

Pros: Can experience excellent Norwegian nature. We came late night to the cottage but the landlord was waiting for us and was very helpful.

Cons: There was no shops nearby to buy milk or soap.

Pros: Location / view ( in national.park)

Cons: pillows and duvets were not clean. Steep steps to first floor

Pros: Good design, modern but traditional, living area spacious enough for 2 couples and a dog. Well equipped kitchen. Numerous walking trails not too far away.

Cons: Bathroom has no shower cabinet, water runs over the floor. Beds a little uncomfortable. Kitchen oven very small. Sofa cushions slide around.

Pros: The owner was very friendly. The cabin was very clean, the living room had big Windows and the area was quiet and beautiful. For us it wasnt a Problem, but there is a very steep stair to the bedrooms (might be difficult for some people)

Cons: No wifi; I was missing a vacuum cleaner; we we were a Party of 3: two of us didnt sleep well in the beds (squeaking noise and simple foam mattress), one of us slept well though

Cons: Beeakfest was vert bed, old and smell very bed. Not clean hotel.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I did not like when booked with the Booking.com, one cost come up, and payed with Mastercard. That was only prepaid, and when I come to the hotel, it was one cost on the internett, and when paying almost NOK 1000.- more!!

Pros: Very old hotel and we were told it is being torn down. That fact showed as the hotel needs updating.

Cons: Needs upkeep

Pros: Service!

Pros: Location and parking. Breakfast was ok (barely). Bed was comfortable. WI-FI was ok.

Cons: This hotel overall was poor, was very overpriced at $162.40 per room per night that we paid and we were disappointed in our one night stay there compared to other hotels we stayed at in Norway and Sweden thru Booking.com on our road trip. Here are our issues: 1) Entire hotel facility was run down. The pictures on Booking.com do not show what it really looks like which is poor. For $162.40 for one night this hotel was very expensive for what we got. I believe this hotel does not meet the standards of Booking.com and should be removed. 2) Our rooms were on the second floor. It was hard for us to drag our bags up a spiral staircase to get to them (no elevator). 3) Our rooms were directly above the Chinese restaurant which is a part of the hotel, so all night long we smelled old Moo Goo Gai Pan odors coming from that restaurant. Do not know if other rooms have that issue but the whole place smells of old cooked Chinese food. The breakfast area is also in the Chinese restaurant. 4) Our room had no soap in the soap bottle! A minor inconvenience (we had some spare soap so we did not call about it) but it was annoying and shows a lack of attention to room cleaning. 5) The shower stall was real dirty around the bottom. Again a lack of attention to cleaning. 6) The small TV had only one channel on it!!! 7) Upon returning to the USA this hotel reported to Booking.com that we were "no shows" which was not true as we got there about 6 PM.

Pros: Location, in area I'm interested in.
