"If I could give Hjelle Hotel more than five stars, I would.
Hjelle Hotel isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s an experience. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, with clear emerald water, towering mountains, waterfalls, and one of the most peaceful atmospheres we’ve ever experienced.
The hotel itself has so much character and history, yet still feels warm, comfortable, and welcoming. The family that owns and runs the hotel makes you feel like you’re a guest in their home rather than just another visitor. Their hospitality is genuine, and their passion for the hotel shines through in everything they do.
Our room had incredible views that we never got tired of, and waking up each morning surrounded by such spectacular scenery was unforgettable. The meals were excellent, made even more special by the stories shared about the hotel’s history and the local area.
What makes Hjelle Hotel truly special is the feeling it leaves you with. It’s peaceful, authentic, and surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery Norway has to offer. It became the highlight of our trip, and it’s one of those rare places that you’ll find yourself thinking about long after you’ve returned home.
We can’t recommend Hjelle Hotel highly enough. When we return to Norway, this will be the first place we book."
