Reviewed Aug 18, 2026The breakfast and the Michelin dinner were amazing. The most beautiful breakfast buffet I think I’ve ever seen. The gardens are absolutely lovely. The location is charming. The owner is very friendly, entertaining, and fascinating as he discusses the history of the hotel, Norway , and the art that they have. The premium room was splendid.

Reviewed Jun 30, 2026Hôtel idyllique en bordure du fjord. Une adorable bâtisse au charme d'antan On se croirait dans plongé dans un roman d'Agatha Christie. Les chambres décorées à l'ancienne sont somptueuses et l'hôtel est un vrai cocon dans lequel on se laisse choyer par un personnel aux petits soins. Repas excellent et petit déjeuner somptueux baigné par une ambiance jazzy. Qui plus est l'hôtel est face à l'embarcadère du petit ferry.
de notre point de vue tout était parfait

Reviewed Aug 12, 2024The hotel is situated in a tiny picturesque village from the late 19th century by the Luster fjord, overlooking a fantastic view. It has Norway’s best breakfast with everything you may wish, and fantastic service. For extra luxury, enjoy a wonderful 4-course dinner prepared by some of our best chefs, followed by a drink and coffee in the garden. We stayed in one of the modern rooms, which has plenty of space and a nice porch on the lawn to enjoy the morning sun. This is a must see for everyone who just want to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape. It’s not cheap, but it’s with it.

Reviewed Aug 4, 2023Excellent location by the Fjord in a local part of the Sognefjord with (relatively) good weather. Good breakfast. Also good dinner. Very nice gardens and other areas (the patio, the gallery, etc) - nice place to "chill out" Very clean, well maintained. Friendly and personal staff (9th generation owners...), interesting history. Staff seems very content. Have good parking and plenty EV-charging.
Very expensive room. (same with the wine). Dark, awkward room/bathroom (purposefully oldfashioned, I know, but very impractical). Stayed out of the room (not really a big problem as the gardens are excellent and there is plenty outdoors activities in the area). (Lots of small lamps with very little light, few/badly placed plugs for charging, separated warm/cold in washbin/shower, etc) The dinner (which was good) is probably enough for (older) people with a low activity level, but for an active person who had been on hikes that day it was not sufficient. Also a little to "stiff" dinner (white cloth, etc) - but thats just a personal preference.

Reviewed Jun 21, 2023My husband and I found the Walaker (and the village of Solvorn) to be a really special place. We had perfect weather for swimming at the beach, hiking up Molden for fjord views, and enjoying a glass of champagne in the hotel garden. Staff and food were excellent. The historic room had tons of charm. We only stayed one night but I could see spending a week to enjoy daily hikes, afternoon swims, and relaxing with a good book -- it's such a lovely, restful place!

extremely expensive for the quality. The room (104) does not have TV, AC, fridge, coffee, tea or water… it is simple and basic. it does not worth kr 4.125 per night. No bar in the hotel, they just serve some local beer and cider. we paid 2.800 for 1 beer and 1 cider.
