The room had a very strange smell, We had to sleep with the balconydoor open all night. Perfect view. Very nice breakfast! The lounge was very cozy. More

I was impressed with the Midtnes Hotel. While the rooms are very simple - no TV, no coffee, no mini fridge, no safe - they are clean and the beds are comfortable. We were lucky enough to have a balcony with chairs and a breath-taking view. The breakfast was good and well-stocked with great coffee. We also had a dinner... More

This hotel was one of the worst I have ever stayed in! First of all, you do not stay in the nice building you see in most of the pictures, but in a shabby old building on the back side. The rooms are old and strongly smell of carpet glue. Even with the window open all night, the smell did... More

Jon the manager/owner was a lovely guy, was much more helpful that the lady at the tourist information. Gave good suggestions about hiring a car from Kviknes hotel, where to drive and boat times etc... We had to cut short our stay because we didnt know the weekend boat services are much reduced, and we had to get back to... More

We toured Norway under our own steam and spent 6 nights here and got just what we wanted - peaceful surroundings, friendly and efficient service, a spacious and comfortable room and excellent breakfasts. The only drawback was the evening meals - no choice and a very limited repertoire of dishes, although copious in quantity. Some guests went elsewhere for evening... More

We arrived in Balestrand on the express boat from Flam and our host, Mr Jon, was waiting on the quayside to transport us and our luggage the short distance to the Midtnes Hotel. Laura, the receptionist, welcomed us and directed us to our room. What a view when we opened the door! The Sognefjord, with its surrounding snow topped peaks,... More

The room was a bit faded and had all the essentials except TV, but the view from our 3rd-floor room-wide window was stunning and constantly changing. The Manager was helpful, friendly and charming and laid on an early brekkie the day we caught the express boat to Bergen, even carting our luggage down to the quayside. Buffet breakfast was excellent... More

We were in Balestrand a little ahead of the tourist season and enjoyed the serenity of Balestrand. It felt like we had the village all to ourselves. The Midtnes Hotel was a perfect spot for us. We paid the extra for a room with balcony facing the fjord and it was money well spent. The views were hypnotic. The breakfast... More

Like most hotels in Balestrand you don't actually stay in the building advertised on their website. The quaint photo is generally of the reception and breakfast area and each hotel has a 1960's type block attached. The room was OK, although the curtains were paperthin so that 4.30am morning light comes flooding in, and by 10am the room is so... More
