Maybe a potential problem is that the nearest restaurant is about 22 miles away. The buffet style dinner is good though. The free breakfast is also very good.
The front of the property is right on the water and lovely. There are lots of places to sit and enjoy the view from the lobby.

Overall a disappointing stay though the hotel has beautiful views. Room was spacious and reasonably comfortable. What should have been hot food at the buffet dinner and breakfast was all cold or lukewarm at best. No other options for food nearby.
This hotel reminded us of a post-Communist era Eastern European property, like the former Yugoslavia. It looked like Tito once stayed there. The room was overly warm, but there was no thermostat to adjust. You could open a window, but then flies and mosquitoes came in. There was no “do not disturb” sign, so we told the desk clerk we didn’t want cleaning. They came in anyway, and moved all of our clothes and toiletries. The breakfast was very ordinary and subpar compared to other Norwegian hotels. The property is convenient to touring the fjords areas, however. There is a good little Asian restaurant in the next town over, too.
Staff are great, location and large spaces are great, but the rooms themselves are tired and the bathroom in particular was puzzling with inaccessible toilet paper and a flooding approach to shower drainage. Breakfast was a miss with frozen fruit salad but the free coffee and sparkling water in a very restful, relaxing lounge was absolutely fantastic.
The staff was super helpful and nice ! It makes a difference in a long trip ! They were very accommodating considering they had roof construction in the building.
Nice room with scenic view on the lake with balcony to enjoy the sun at the end of a long drive. Hotel is conveniently located near E39 but also quiet. Very clean. Breakfast was excellent with good choice of food. I definitely recommend.

Great Hotel, But Not the Room We Reserved
While planning our dream vacation we only had time for one night deep in the fjords. We spent hours searching for the ideal hotel location with a magnificent view. We reserved 5 months in advance (paid on Dec 12, 2024). We even upgraded to a SUPERIOR room with Waterfront VIEW (Canal View) to make the one night even more special. SADLY, when we checked in at 16:30, we received a somewhat run-down room with a tiny bathroom and a view of some roof tops and the motorway. The beautiful photos of magnificent views & large bathrooms on Hotels.com were not our reality. We politely asked the front desk if they had any superior rooms available that had a view of the water (Canal View) as our reservation stated a “Canal View”. The kind lady said that they did not have any other available rooms. However, one hour later, a tour bus of guests arrived (this means that there were other rooms STILL available when we had inquired). The location and common areas of the hotel are fantastic. The breakfast was EXCELLENT (Thon Hotels have always had the best breakfast). But, when friends ask about the world famous Norway fjords, our hotel room experience was not what we reserved. :-(
