When most people think of Norway, the Western Fjords area is what they picture, with its stunningly beautiful deep waterways carved through rugged mountains by ice age glaciers. Several of the world’s tallest waterfalls are here too, adding to the splendor. An incredible region for cruising, hiking, fishing, biking, rafting, canoeing and summer skiing, the region is also home to fascinating cities like Bergen, Stavanger and Alesund, each chock-full of unique and interesting urban activities.

I've stayed three times and only once did I have a bad experience. I've stayed in both the double room (shared showers and toilets), and the room with attached kitchenette and bathroom. If you arrive after four, the doors are locked and we didn't receive a code to get in, as it mentioned we would. I tried calling both numbers and didn't get an answer. Luckily someone was coming out and when we went up to reception, there was a staff member there (he was trying to help a customer, probably why he didn't answer). The guests that night were extremely rowdy and loud, which was obnoxious. The other two times, there were no issues, check in was easy. Shared showers were clean, shared kitchen was convenient. It did get a little cold one night and the room heater worked great. Do make sure to pay for towels on check in, if you'll be needing them.

A bus from Montana will take you to the city center in 15 minutes - or you can walk the 3,5 km. We will do our best to make your stay enjoyable!
We had a great stay here. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. No large lockers for storing bags/backpacks but did have smaller lockers for valuables and maybe a smaller bag. Took about 20 min by bus to get to Bergen city center (but would be a bit quicker by car). Very close to Ulriken hiking trail. Would recommend!

Great location, ok rooms and a simply fantastic breakfast buffet make this a value for money choice in Voss. The all-organic breakfast made our day, with many vegetables and fruits from the nearby farm, and bread from the local bakery. Tip: ask for lake view if available.

· Comfortable beds, cheapest place to stay in Flåm at the time, kitchen was clean, bathrooms were clean. · Due to the fact that the buildings are old and historic it’s fairly loud but everyone was quiet at a respectful time. It ran out of toilet paper and paper towel in the bathrooms. Check in and out process was a little unclear to me. I never officially did either because the staff weren’t around.

A the top of the magnificent Raundalsriver, as the northern-western portal to Hardangervidda, you find Mjølfjell Ungdomsherberge. A cosy boutique hotel located only a hike away from both Ulvik & Hardangerfjorden or the picturesque Nerøyfjorden with its Flam. With a big fireplace, local food delicacies, swimming pool and sauna, its a playground all aro! Great beds, pizzabakery, freshly roasted coffee every day.
I had a very pleasant stay at Mjølfjell, beautiful located by a powerful river. Very friendly staff. Lovely homemade food, also tasty vegetarian. Expect the standard of a former youth hostel, simple rooms, some with shared bathroom. The atmosphere however is very nice and relaxed, with a fireplace, nice common areas, outdoor terrace etc. If you plan to take the train, use a backpack or bag that can be carried on your back, it is a short, but steep trail down to the hotel.

Cheapest in Molde? Nice rooms, good food! Short distance to town centre. Open in 1.June-10.August. Advance booking necessary.
According to the young lady working at the reception, it is only open during the summer. The rest of the year it serves as a dorm or "retreat" place for folk school students. Our room had 2 bunk beds. Note: This hostel is not located in the city centre. Pros: -Clean common toilets and shower in the hallway and no wait time at all. -A guest kitchen on the second floor where we stayed -Free waffle coffee tea -Shelve space, desk with drawers, cabinets with hangers and metal baskets to spread your toiletries and stuff -A sink with a mirror inside the room -Wonderful breakfast in another building the next morning. -Ample free parking Cons: -didn't have any hair dryer in the common washroom or any to be borrowed from the reception

It is not essay to travel with dogs in Norway. We found this Place and it was great. We never saw the owners, and we were the only guests for those two nights we spent there. The apartment was nice and big, and it had a small kitchen included. The is also a large kitchen available for guests. Another good part was a big lawn where the dogs could have some fun. No sheep so it was safe to let the dogs run on the lawn while we watched all the time, of course. The place is some 15 kilometers (10 miles) fromVoss along a very winding and narrow road.

Me and my girlfriend stayed there for over night. Wanted to see Odda after watching Ragnarök on Netflix. I've seen people complain about how close this is to and old factory, but this factory was an important location in the show, so I was extra excited for that ? The rooms were OK, not the best beds or showers, and so weird to have to pay extra for linen, kinda ridiculous, but the staff was fantastic. Young British girl and a young guy were very nice and helpful ?

We was there in the opportunity to found a location for a course, this place hace big space, have separate rooms and small cabins,but you can also sleep in telt. if you like modern this is not a place for you, but have his charm, have a big garden and berries bushes, you have the sea and the place is suitable for fishing. People around all the time, quite international environment , hiking tours around, WiFi, a common kitchen. Renovation and very exciting protect to develop the place is on, I really hope that we can see that soon, this would make this place a pearl! The couple who is driving the place is the most open, helpfull and caring for the people who is there and what they need, they are like working ants, they work non stop for make your visit pleasant.
