米緹恩斯酒店(Midtnes Hotel)

The best cozy decorated place in my trip this time. Impressive Nice warm and precious interiør in all rooms at the first floor of hotell. Enjoyable to take a lot of photos in there. And when up to my room at the top 4th floor of the hotel. IT is so fantastic ocean view form my Terrace. And again the big Cruiseship come and park in front of the hotel again What a wonderful experience for me.

Hôtel situé dans un lieu idyllique. Le petit village de Balestrand est si calme et reposant, au bord d’une mer surplombée de montagnes. Les paysages, dont vous pouvez profiter depuis votre chambre d’hôtel mais aussi depuis le paisible jardin prévu pour pique-niquer (avec tables installées), sont à couper le souffle. Attention : toutes les chambres ne donnent pas sur le fjord. Pensez à descendre dans le jardin, de l’autre côté de la route. Le lieu est réservé aux résidents, qui oublient trop souvent d’en profiter. Les cloisons des chambres sont fines, mais le cadre, le petit déjeuner, l’accueil chaleureux (nos valises nous ont été amenées en voiture jusqu’à l’embarcadère du ferry !) font tout de suite oublier ce défaut. En partant, nous nous sommes immédiatement dits que nous retournerions dans cet hôtel.

Charming The hotel has an older portion full of sitting rooms filled with historical decor from the original purpose which was a hospital. Added to the items are several pianos, plants, items from nature and more. A beautiful porch looking out onto the water, a dock from which one can take a refreshing dip. Very kind staff. Our room was basic, two twin beds. No AC but a cool breeze was lovely.

When you first approach the hotel sitting on the top of a hill, you think what a cute and quaint building. That is only where the reception and breakfast is. The rest of the rooms are in a building beside that was decorated in the 70's and is very basic. No TV and the bathrooms are tiny. This hotel was booked for us by our travel agent so we weren't sure what we were getting. We had to change rooms because the bathroom was too small. The beds were reasonably comfortable but it was the view from the tiny balcony we had looking out over the fjord that was the best part. The breakfast was good and the location of the hotel was really it's best feature. The gentleman at the front desk was friendly and helpful whenever we had any questions. They do offer free coffee/tea in reception, but we were unable to use it one night because there wasn't any hot water to make tea.

This was a nononsense Hotel. The rooms are not in the pretty building that you see in the photos but in an Annexe which is very plain and practical, the room we had was spacious, with a balcony with a view across the fiord and to the pretty town church below. The receptionist was not friendly or warm but he did what was required and was kind to give us a coffee on the deck in the morning as we were up early and breakfast was not yet served. Breakfast at 6.30 am, we were there on a weekday enabled us to catch the 8am ferry from Dragsvik. There is complimentary tea and coffee available at the reception but it runs out fast and is not replinished often. Olden has plenty of resturants so getting dinner was not a problem. Breakfast was wonderful. Hot and cold items, the smoked salmon we had here was the best fromour 12 day trip.

The breakfast was included in the price and the hotel promised to serve it at 7.15 for those who take the morning ferry to Bergen, which leaves 7.50. There was no breakfast in the morning. The man came so late that that there was nothing ready 7.35 and no time wait any more. As for hotel. The hotel had thin walls. The view to the fjord was the best thing of the place. The man in reception was kind and helpful but nevertheless the service was not what was promised. I left Balestrand angry and hungry.

En arrivant, on voit une très jolie villa derrière une charmante église : c’est bien la! Mais l’hôtel est en fait logé dans un vilain cube de béton qui communique avec la villa Chambre avec vue sur le fjord, exposée plein est donc agréable le matin . Tout comme la salle des petits déjeuners ( dans la partie ancienne) C’est quand même petit , y compris le balcon ! Le propriétaire est sympathique et ( très) décontracté

Struttura davvero molto accogliente, come il proprietario! Vista meravigliosa sul fiordo grazie alla posizione sopraelevata! La zona comune è come un tuffo in uno stile di altri tempi, da vedere per credere! Colazione abbondante e molto buona, prevalentemente salata. Consigliato a tutti!!!
