Spectacular and scenic camping spot near Åndalasnes…read more The views of the Troll Wall are absolutely spectacular; the tent spaces have the best view, but the entire camprground shares it. Most people here are in small RVs, and I was impressed about how quiet they were --- no TVs or loud stereos, no loud air conditioners. There's a smaller tent contingent (including us), and a few small trailers. Showers are 10 KR for 5 minutes; 2 stalls for each gender. Bathrooms are clean and spacious, with lots of electrical outlets for charging phones if you aren't at a powered RV spot. There's two sinks for cleaning dishes, which works pretty well; the actual cooking facilities are a little cramped but rarely used, as most people either have a camping stove or an RV kitchen. The tent area has a large, tarp-covered space with 3 giant picnic tables, great for making dinner in the rain. Trollveggen was by far the best of the three campgrounds we visited on our trip. Highly recommended.

Guests are able to use the water toys (rafts, paddle boards, blowup trampoline, etc) and lake for free. There's free wifi! Washing machine and dryer are available for a nominal cost.

I accidentally stumbled into this ferry because I assumed it was like every other ferry in…read moreNorway-about $8. Unfortunately for me, this ferry is a very special ferry in Norway (i.e. it is a tourist ferry), so it cost $94!!!! A horrible surprise. To be fair, it is an unusually beautiful ride and the accommodation inside the ferry is unlike most others in Norway (in a good way). A full cafeteria, lots of outdoor viewing, lots of windows, and a gorgeous ride. In the future, I might take the extra time and just drive around the fjord instead of taking the ferry because it was so expensive. Note: you will be surrounded by tourists on this ferry. A big negative for me.

Fantastic service from the managers to the waiters. Below are some of the reasons why I give this hotel 5 stars: 1) gorgeous views of the fjord all around the hotel 2) free cookies and tea/coffee 3) so many cute lounge areas to relax, read a book, or play chess 4) comfortable beds with luxurious white sheets that feels like cotton silk If you're in the Skodje area, you should definitely come here!!!

We planned a 3 week trip to Norway including the usual itinerary from Oslo to Bergen. For the third…read moreweek we found this hotel near Ålesund and decided to take a chance since we hadn't heard much about it. It turned out to be a hidden gem - literally the highlight of our trip. I was worried it might be too remote, however there is so much to see in this area, our 6 night stay was too short. The hotel itself is simply one of the nicest I've stayed in. The wonderful staff and general manager Benthe make you feel like guests invited into their cozy home. The chefs are amazing with a different gourmet 4 course meal every night. The location, the people, the accommodations (and the homemade cookies) were all truly exceptional!! (Ps. This is the first time I've ever bothered to post on Yelp - I was so impressed!)

A Nice cosy campsite 20 km from Alesund. Not overcrowded. We were actually forced to come here as…read morethe only campsite in Alesund had no more space for tents. It's located at the seaside - you can eat breakfast watching the fjords. Toilets, showers, kitchen are available for campers and the buildings are located right next to the tents spot. The only downsides I found is that you can only pay in cash and you need 20 NOK coins to use the shower for 4 mins. Anyways, recommended for anyone going camping in Alesund area.

This hotel was a great find. It's part of a campground complex, right on the edge of the UNESCO…read morerated Geirangerfjord. The hotel has a slightly rustic feel to it, and is decorated almost like a cabin. There are some good benefits to staying here, as with a decent room you get a really nice free breakfast (which is a HUGE bonus in expensive Norway) and free WiFi (which is a huge benefit in an area with spotty mobile coverage). You can pay extra for a fjord view, which is a must-do. The view cannot be believed. They have a restaurant on site that does a traditional Norwegian buffet for dinner, which you should have at least one night. The food isn't presented well, but tastes really quite nice. Just one things... the hotel is not in the town. It's a 2 km walk that is uphill on the way there, and with few to no taxis in town, you will be walking with your luggage up that hill.

Yes...this is the hotel that was used for many of the indoor scenes in the movie Ex Machina,…read moreand...yes...the location near Valldal, Norway is every bit as stunning and tranquil as you would expect. This hotel has been as carefully thought out as Swiss watch. The rooms (cabins really) are functional and austere in a way that is uniquely Scandinavian, and they've been integrated into the landscape in such a way that every room has a breathtaking view. Furniture is minimal but so comfy that a day spent with a good book, pausing for occasional glances at the mountains and river, is as pleasant as a hike up those same mountain sides. But beyond the impression you get from the movie and the photos, you'll also find an owner eager to make each guest's stay special, astoundingly good food (which you'll really appreciate if, like us, you stay at the Juvet during the off-season when not much else is open), the wonderful company of the other guests, and...well...Norway!

I thought the landscape around the Juvet hotel was stunning. The view from our room was so…read moremesmerizing. I do want to say the cleanliness of our room and our sons room was not great. Hair, dust and just not very clean. It needs vacuuming, dusting... just a thorough cleaning. When we arrived I noticed in a review to ask for a robe so you can put it on over your suit when you go to spa. We arrived late in afternoon and I asked for a robe. Did not get one. The man who met us when we arrived told us where we were staying and I was anxious to see rooms. After seeing rooms I went back and asked again for a robe and the man seemed a little impatient but gave me 2 robes (one for me and my husband). Went to spa ... cover on hot tub. The sauna (steam room) was not turned on. I did not see any switch to turn it on. My son went back to find the man who greeted us. He wasn't happy about having to come to spa (according to my son). The man went to an electrical room and got it to work. My husband took off cover of hot tub and there were dead insects floating on top of water. Our 2 sons joined my husband and myself for dinner. One of my sons had a business call in the U.S . to attend to. He was 10 minutes late to dinner. The man who greeted us when we arrived at Juvet pointed to his watch and tapped it when my son walked in. This did not make my son feel good. The 1st course had just then been placed on the table. My son ate very little and left. He felt like he had been scolded and was looking forward to a relaxing stay but thus far after the spa experience and now being scolded for being 10 min. Late spoiled any relaxation. Juvet is not an inexpensive place to stay. I expect a clean and nice room and if there is a hot tub and steam room that it is operating, clean and no effort on my part to look for someone to help so we can use it. I don't think I'll make the effort or spend my money to stay there again but the view was beautiful and view from room beautiful. It's too bad it isn't operated like it could be.
