Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great view of the fjord, front desk was the cherry on top.
The manager was very friendly and helpful, the view was great. The room had no tea or coffee machine, no electric kettle, no nini bar or safe. The bed was too soft, the wash room very small, with a shower stall in a corner, separated with only a shower curtain. Only one pillow was provided for each person.
Great hotel with spacious rooms. Excellent vews of the fjord. Good breakfast too. Staff was very helpful and helped carry our heavy luggage to the top floor. Free self service laundry.
Muy bien. Persona de recepción excelente
Magar war sehr freundlich und hilsbereit und auch das restliche Servicepersonal war sehr umsichtig. Dennoch sind Teile der Einrichtung on die Jahre kekommen und renovierungsbedürftig, insbesondere die Bäder.
Excellent accueil, personnel à l’écoute et réactif. Très bon petit-déjeuner Nous avions une vue magnifique sur le fjord. Le début des chemins de randonnées est juste derrière l’hôtel.
Hotel is in much need of a complete refurbishment. If you get a balcony the view is incredible but the room is tired and old. Bathroom was dirty, grout in need of a good cleaning. Breakfast was lacking. More of a youth hostel than hotel.
We very much enjoyed our stay!
Underbar utsikt
First, we loved Balestrand. One of the most beautiful areas in Norway. Our hotel was absolutely perfect for our stay. It is a smaller ‘boutique’ and family run hotel that provides very personalized service. We were able to do laundry and there is a guest kitchen if you want to prepare a meal. The owner and staff could not be more kind and attentive. The balcony views are incredible.
Very well managed property - wonderfully friendly and helpful front desk staff. Ate at restaurant two breakfasts and two dinners and all food was fresh, well prepared and very nice.
Very nice hotel with nice facilities and friendly staff
Koselig hotell sentralt i Balestrand, gåavstand til det meste. Liten terrasse som en kunne sitte ute. Kjekk betjening.
Staff is very helpful.
The location is really close to the stores, restaurants, and ferry. The view from the balcony is very beautiful!
Très bon accueil, très bien situé au calme, vue exceptionnelle sur le fjord depuis la chambre, très bon petit déjeuner, cuisine commune pour préparer ses plats. Bref c'était parfait
Ok, litt slitt
Utrolig hyggelig betjening
Nydelig hotell i Balestrand. Vi hadde rom med fantastisk utsikt over fjorden. Hyggelig personale. Enkel og god frokost.
Fin beliggenhet, flott utsikt. Rene og pene rom, men litt liten dusj. Hyggelig betjening.
Fantastisk utsikt fra rommet. Hyggelig velkomst. Helt ok frokost
Veldig fint sted i Balestrand. Flott utsikt, fine rom, og kjempe hyggelig betjening. Mye for pengene. Bedre her enn å betale det dobbelte for annet kjent hotel i området.
Trivelig hotell.Rent og trivelig. Rommene er lyse.Relativ stor baderom. Pen uteområde,lett å parkere. Eneste "ulempe" er at det ikke er middagsservering på hotellet.Og ankommer man på ettermiddag/kveld,bør man ha spist før ankomst.Evt få bestilt bord på spisested i nærheten i forkant.
Første besøk på Kringsjå hotel. Veldig positiv opplevelse ! Fin beliggenhet, flott rom med balkong og fin utsikt over fjorden. Sengene var glimrende - i motsetning til mange norske hoteller som har dårlige senger. Baderom rent. God frokost i en frokostsal med hyggelig betjening og god utsikt. Gode parkeringsmuligheter. Hyggelig vertskap ! Her kommer vi gjerne igjen.
Vi ble tatt imot av en veldig hyggelig ansatt. Vi fikk i tillegg oppgradert rom. Koselige og rene rom. Fin utsikt! Veldig tommel opp, vi kommer gjerne tilbake.
Overraskende bra
Et hyggelig fint opphold med hyggelig betjening i resepsjon og spisesal. Sengene ble redd opp hver dag, men gulvene ble ikke vasket. Rømningsplan var satt opp bak stuedøra! Der fant vi også lysbyter til taklyset.- Fantastisk utsikt fra balkongen til rom 304.
A wonderful old-school hotel, clean and safe. Very nice view from the balcony. Very fast check in and out, we staied one night only and that was great, super market nearby 1 minute walking and information office either. Will book again for sure.
The Kringsja hotel is a very pleasant place to stay for a visit to Balestrand and beyond. The service, comfort, and value are excellent.
Great location, great guy on reception, delicious breakfast in a room with spectacular views. Free onsite parking.
Nice hotel, comfortable room.
We have stayed in a lot of places, but for an amazing location, this is it. We had a 3rd floor balcony overlooking Sognfjorden, an absolutely gorgeous evening and great service. We will remember this place if we make it back to the area...one for the books.
Beautiful view from our balcony. Loved the town of Balestrand! Very helpful front desk staff. Limited but adequate breakfast.
Wonderful room
Great views from the room and the terrace. Really liked the guest kitchen so we could cook our meals and eat overlooking the fjord. Better than any restaurant in the town! The staff were really friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to do. The rooms were nice and modern even though some of the decor in public areas was a bit dated. Overall we had a great stay here.
Excellent location, great window view and breakfast. Interesting rec room in basement.
Very nice view, we also got the upgrade to the room with balcony. The reception is very kind and help full. Breakfast was good.
I had a nice one night stay. Good size room with a nice size balcony and view. Plenty of sitting areas in the room. The bathroom was small, but functional. The shower is only separated by a curtain which I was initially concerned about, but for a short stay it surprisingly wasn't an issue. The staff was very friendly and laundry facilities were nice to have access to. A little pricey compared to other similar hotels I stayed at in Norway.
Comfortable hotel with very helpful staff. Bed was good, very quiet with lovely views
This is a very comfortable hotel near to the fjord and the walking tracks. The staff are lovely. The breakfast is fantastic.
wonderful location, extremely helpful manager, delicious breakfast! We stayed 3 days and were sad to leave. Balestrand is a lovely, unspoiled village. It was a 2 minute walk to the heart of town. The manager was so friendly and gave us great advice. He even helped us straighten out a problem with a future reservation in another town. I highly recommend the Kringsjå!
This is a cozy little hotel, just a short walk from the pier where we arrived on an express ferry. The staff were warm and congenial. The breakfast was delicious. Our stay was brief but we managed to experience the casual warmth of Balestrand, via our hosts.
Great location with a view to the fjord. Very limited service, mediocre breakfast.
All togethet makes you happy indeed.
Enjoyed our stay there. Easy walk to the sites we wanted to see nearby.
Nice old hotel up on the hill. Nice view of the fjord while eating on the patio. Room was clean but old as all the hotels appear to be in balestrand. It was unusually hot while we were there and there is no air conditioning which is the case for most of Norway. With the windows opened it cooled off well at night. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was good. Staff was nice and helpful.
Wonderful little hotel, polite friendly staff, great breakfast, and an unbeatable view of the fjord!
Exceptional hotel staff, clean, comfortable and historic. Be prepared for stairs upto 3 floors which is well justified with beautiful scenery and nice room with balcony.
Our balcony rooms had wonderful views. The breakfast buffet was great and we packed our lunches from the same buffet. We used the guest kitchen to make our dinners. It was nice to have a refrigerator to store foods that needed to be cold. The staff was more than great as they went out of their way to help whenever possible. The grocery store is within walking distance and the people at the visitor center, next to the grocery store, were very helpful.
Overall I was pleased with this hotel. It is older, not as modern or updated as many places we've stayed, but it was fine. Service was excellent and the location was excellent, Balestrand is a beautiful and charming town. Breakfast was very good (had Norwegian waffles!). View from our room of the fjord was beautiful, location was central and convenient. There are no elevators. I'd say the most annoying thing (though we saw this at several other hotels in Norway) is that there is no divider between the shower and bathroom floor, so when you shower, the entire bathroom is flooded with water. Just got annoying to wade through a pond every time we had to use the bathroom after showering. Overall, though, I was pleased and I would stay here again.
