We had a larger room with private bathroom. Excellent view of the sounding mountains with waterfalls. Friendly staff. Coffee and tea available in the lobby to serve yourself. Very basic accommodation but clean and tidy for a budget hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

Other than that its expensive to take the bus to go and leave the place (160 NOK, for a 20 min ride to go to Flam), I loved it!! Extremely clean and the staff was just amazing, loved my stay, very comfortable room and very beautiful place. There’s a mini fridge in the room and a grocery store/gas station Joker right across the river, a few steps away.

The word budget is a good description. The room was small, hostel-like and the bed was hard. There were steep stairs to get ti the room. The hotel reception was a block away. The staff were helpful. I didn't see the rooms of the main hotel where the reception was but my guess is they were better. It is convienient to the dock for a Fjord tour

This was more like a hostel -- showers and toilets down the hall which didn't bother me one bit, just unexpected. The location was good and there were good food options nearby. The setting was truly lovely -- who couldn't love opening the window to waterfalls cascading nearby mountains!

Good spot for a quick stop off on the way to Bergen - I was pleasantly surprised with how clean and comfortable the rooms and shared facilities were as I normally don’t book a shared bathroom but everything else was booked out. Staff didn’t have much info to share in travel options which, given it’s the main function of the towm, seemed odd. The bakery was great and the main hotel did a lovely breakfast.

Very comfortable hotel room. There was a washer/drier, which is a real plus. Biggest negative is that it is really confusing where to check in to the hotel-- it is not at the hotel but in another area about 100 meters away.

Perfect setting for a Lee Child novel.

This hotel would be the perfect setting for a Lee Child novel. But it was also very comfortable and clean after a long day’s travel, and the staff were helpful. Very mainstream touristic area, with Viking park and outlet store, so not fully my cup of tea. Beautiful fjord however.

Our room in the budget hotel had a wonderful view of the waterfalls. The room was small but perfectly adequate for our needs. The bathroom facilities are shared but as we appeared to be the only guests it was not a problem and the showers are fantastic. It is only a very short walk to the ferry and bus terminal. Meals are available at the more upmarket sister hotel. The nearby Viking Village is a must see.

Budget experience at a glorified truck stop

The quality of the experience is right there in the name: budget. We walked from the dock to the hotel, only to discover that there is no one on site, and we had to walk back to the visitor center to check in. There is no one on site, which kind of seems abandoned while renovation work goes on. There was a communal fridge and microwave in the hallway (the space was not tidy). The bathrooms/ showers were nice (bring shower shoes), and it was the most comfortable mattress we slept on the whole trip. But the window shades didn't work well, and the wifi didn't reach to our room, so we had to go down to the lobby to use our devices. We chose to purchase food from the convenience store across the stream instead of buying breakfast from the visitor center.

It is a very basic hotel in the area where booking on a short notice was problematic. I was grateful to find this accommodation. I had a room with a shared bathroom, which was very clean. The room itself had a sink, which was very welcome. Everything was super clean and comfortable, but, as I mentioned, very basic, and I was surprised by the price tag of around 200USD. There was no wi fi on the day I stayed there.

Even though I booked the Fjordtel Budget Hotel, it was early May and the main hotel was not full so they automatically upgrade me to the main Gudvangen Fjordtell. The room was neat and clean and even had a kitchenette and its own deck. It was a short walk from the main building where you check in and eat. Very cool round building with lots of glass, including the ceiling thru which you can look up 400 meters to see one of the world’s most magnificent water falls. Indeed, the tiny hamlet of Gudvangen is surrounded by towering cliffs like no other place in the world of which I’m aware. It also is the origin of the Naeroyfjord, perhaps the most awesome of all of Norway’s many fjords. It is part of the famous Norway in a Nutshell attractions, and can be taken either from Gudvangen to Flåm or visa versa. In midseason, I assume the place gets very bust because there are parking spaces for dozens of big buses. Many of the buses are from nearby Flam (20 minutes) but the two hour bus ride from Bergen to Gudvangen runs through spectacular scenery. I recommend you get a good seat on a VY double decker and drink in the beauty.
