Super cute family owned hotel. Beautiful location on the lake. Evening dinner made by the family was very delicious. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely stay here.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Hjelle Hotel. A must if you are in the area. The dinner each night was incredible, all food made with local ingredients and so delicious. Our 9 month old was with us and the owners went out of their way to accommodate her and provide what we needed. Also, the views from the hotel grounds are out of this world. We hope to come back one day- our stay here was a highlight of our trip to Norway.

Excellent hotel with lake view. Very cozy and lovely.

I never leave reviews but Hjelle hotel was simply outstanding. Beautiful location right on a picturesque lake, and very friendly staff/owners. They were even willing to do my laundry for a small fee.

Small rooms, extra small bathrooms, tiny shower

Stunning views on a lake and in the mountains. Excellent breakfast buffet. The service at the hotel was top notch. Would love have had more time to spend there as we arrived in the evening. Highly recommend!

A truly stunning 150 year old hotel with tonnes of original features. The owners were on hand the whole time keeping everything running smoothly. The view and location was a sight to behold - just breathtaking. If you want to sit quietly and read or swim, sauna or use the rowing boat it is all there for everyone. Would love to return some day for longer.

This find was a diamond!! The location was so quiet, the views were like living in a painting, and the food was simply delicious. Paying extra for the dinner was one of our better decisions. Truly the best setting and experience we’ve almost ever had!!!

Quiet location, great scenery. Good food. For dinner, choice of eat at hotel, or at local place. At hotel, price was a little high, but good.

This is my favorite place we stayed while in Norway. Would definitely go back and stay for more than just one night. What a lovely experience! Room was excellent and the view was outstanding! Life should be lived at this pace! Food was delicious and personable service was remarkable. Felt like family!!

It was nice and cosy apartment .

We (myself, husband and toddler) stayed for 3 nights in late May 2025. It was a last minute booking for an impromptu trip to Norway. We had no issues with late check in or late check out. The view and setting of this place are 12/10; the pics speak the truth! It is situated ~23 min from Stryn and ~60min from Geiranger. It was an excellent home base. The grounds are well kept. We stayed in the old historic building. It was a bit tight to leave the suitcases open and walk around in The Wilhelmina suite. The balcony had an amazing view. There was a mini fridge. No safe (no hotels on our trip had a safe). The springwater bathtub and heated bathroom floors were a nice touch. The bathroom curtains were shorter than the window and also sheer. Given that a small portion of the view includes a parking lot and the cafe, we did improvise by putting decorative cushions on the window sill for our comfort. The host was the most helpful person we have come across on a trip; he helped us make plans for all 3 days and they worked out for us. He helped us with alternative plans when it rained. We were going to run out of clean clothes and he was able to arrange laundry for us for a neglible fee. The breakfast was on par with similarly reviewed hotels in W Norway. Breakfast is held in a large food hall with views of the lake and mountains. They had toys my toddler loved. It is a beautiful family run place away from the crowds and with lots of character. Definitely a must stay!

We were treated very well. The scenery is so amazing. The morning breakfast just awesome.

Superb staff in gorgeous setting! Best hotel I’ve stayed in in Norway!

Superb small hotel with very attentive and cordial staff. Very peaceful setting with nice walking options without using your car. Highest recommendation!

In terms of the setting and the friendly welcome, this was one of the loveliest hotels I've ever stayed at. It's off the main road, right on the shore of the fjord, with sensational views and is incredibly tranquil and welcoming. I look forward to staying there again - I didn't want to leave

The staff is exceptional and the grounds are perfect

Magical!

Location is beautiful and serene. Very friendly and extremely helpful staff.

It is beautiful place.
