Seemed run down from outside but once we saw the view from the balcony, the facilities and the room itself we wished we stayed longer. Very comfortable beds, spacious room and beautiful beach and outdoor facilities

Good hotel in Ulvik
Brakanes is a lovely, genteel hotel with beautiful views of the fjords. I’d have given it the toprating but for the very limited and expensive dinner menu and the fact that you had to pay extra for the hot tub.

Amazing views. Hotel staff was super helpful amd courteous. Rooms are clean but a little dated and bathroom was a not in the best condition but the views and convenience more then make up for that. Highly recommend.

The hotel lobby and restaurant have a charming view (water front), but the room facilities feels renovation needed, such as only one clothes hook inside the bathroom was loosened, water flowed allover after shower, toilet roll was hard to reached (80cm away)…etc. Overall, the price-performance ratio is not high enough

Outstanding view from room. Excellent dinner. Only negative was the breakfast. Not a lot of choices. No espresso. Was the worst breakfast spread we have seen in our month long holiday.

We arrived at breakfast at 9.30 - after recommending from the receptionist (earlier would be a hassle due to many people). But all basic food were missing (bread, eggs, cheese, croissants, fruit, etc) it was very difficult to get anything and the waiters were busy cleaning up.

L’hôtel a une très belle vue. Le jacuzzi (avec supplément) donnant sur le fjord est bien agréable.
Par contre, la literie était inconfortable car le matelas était très mou.

Vakkert beliggende hotell med hyggelig betjening.
Fint utgangspunkt for fotturer eller besøk på de tre sidergårdene som ligger i nærheten. Fin badestrand ved hotellet.

Påsketur.
Fin beliggenhet med godt utgangspunkt for turer som Kvasshovden og Ossete.
Manglet varmekabler på bad men vi brukte håndkler på det iskalde gulvet.
