The setting was really stunning - a rather old hotel - but who wants to stay in something brand new in such a historical location! Very peaceful little town, and hotel (apart from the wedding reception going on downstairs until all hours) - breakfast and dinner was fine, both buffets - nothing extravagant, just the basics really. The rooms were... more

We stayed for 10 nights in hotel the location was perfect for us, very peaceful we walked most days around 10 -17 miles. much of the surrounding area is forested so the walking is not ideal, but it is very quiet. The hotel was comfortable , we had a room with a balcony overlooking the Fjord, the lounges are very... more

We have just returned from a week's family stay in the Brakanes Hotel (August 2007). Our rooms were on the fourth floor overlooking the fjord so we had amazing views from the balconies. That side of the hotel (overlooking the fjord) would be quieter than the back end that overlooks the road. There is a disco on Friday and Saturday... more

Very nice.

Spent one night and arrived late and had no chance of seeing it all. Lobby was bright and nice with a bar and souvenir shop. Our room was in the newer section of the hotel and it had a pleasant balcony facing the fjord. It was well furnished with comfortable beds and two nice armchairs. Bathroom is ordinary with inadequate... more

Stayed for 1 night at this great location at the end of the Hardanger fjord. Travelling from Oslo to Bergen this was the worst experience coming at the highest price (other hotels included Oslo city hotels or nice SPA places such as the Solstrand in Bergen/Os). The staff gives you a rather unwelcoming feeling; we had to ask for everything... more

We had not originally intended to stay in Ulvik, however, when our hotel booking changed we were transferred to this hotel. The Rica Brakanes is located on the edge of the Eidfjord. The view from the hotel is stunning, as you are within meters of the shore. The hotel dining room and patio both overlook the fjord. We were given... more

Stayed here for 4 nights on the final stage of a two week "Fjord Favourites" tour. Stunning location, and hotel well worth its 4 star rating, with a wonderful fjord view from our balcony. Only minor issue regarding more limited choice of food in restaurant for both breakfast and evening meal. Free use of internet provided. more

We have just returned from a week at the Rica Brakanes Hotel, Ulvik in Norway. When we arrived we thought it was very nice in a beautiful location at the top of the fjord. Unfortunately, the rooms are very ordinary and plain. There was only one armchair which was dirty and stained. The curtains are flimsy and do not reach... more
