TurkeyThe location of the hotel was magnificent. The room overlooked the fjord directly. The hotel's restaurant was right by the fjord. The door of our room opened directly onto the fjord. (It was the only room where the door opened directly onto the fjord. However, all other rooms have balconies with magnificent views.)
The staff were very polite and attentive. The room was very spacious. The toilet and bathroom were separate and very convenient. There was a coffee machine in the room. They offer private parking service to customers.
There wasn't anything we didn't like. It's truly an amazing hotel.
We were pleased with everything. We would like to stay here again next time.

United KingdomThe hotel is situated in a tiny picturesque village from the late 19th century by the Luster fjord, overlooking a fantastic view. It has Norway’s best breakfast with everything you may wish, and fantastic service.
For extra luxury, enjoy a wonderful 4-course dinner prepared by some of our best chefs, followed by a drink and coffee in the garden.
We stayed in one of the modern rooms, which has plenty of space and a nice porch on the lawn to enjoy the morning sun.
This is a must see for everyone who just want to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape. It’s not cheap, but it’s with it.

From
SlovakiaThis hotel was amazing! The rooms were beautiful, spacious, and very clean – everything felt luxurious and high-quality. Breakfast was varied and delicious.
We stayed with our dog, and the hotel was perfectly prepared for that. They provided a dog bed and bowls, and we had a room with direct access to the garden. Please note that dogs are only allowed in ground-floor rooms, so it’s important to inform the hotel in advance to make sure one of these rooms is available. It was perfect – our dog loved it and could go outside every morning right from the room.
The view from the room was stunning, overlooking the harbor with large ships, and the area around the hotel offered plenty of hiking opportunities and beautiful nature.
Overall, a 100% experience – both the hotel and its location. A bit more expensive, but absolutely worth it. Perfect stay, especially if you’re traveling with a dog!

NetherlandsMy recent stay at Best Western Laegreid Hotell was a delightful experience overall. The hotel's exceptional cleanliness, from the lobby to our hotel room, provided a comforting sense of hygiene throughout our stay.
The American-style interior design added an elegant and sophisticated touch to the hotel. The tastefully done decor created a pleasant ambiance that made us feel right at home, surpassing the typical hotel aesthetics.
One of the highlights of our stay was the extensive breakfast offered by the hotel. The wide array of options catered to various tastes and dietary preferences, with something for everyone. The food's excellent quality, variety, and freshness impressed us.
We were pleasantly surprised by the presence of USB-A and USB-C ports next to the bed, making it incredibly convenient to charge our electronic devices without adapters or searching for outlets. Such thoughtful details showcased the hotel's commitment to a comfortable and modern stay.
Moreover, there is free parking in front of the hotel from 17:00 until 8:00, adding to the convenience and value of the stay.
Overall, Best Western Laegreid Hotell exceeded our expectations, with its cleanliness, stylish interior design, extensive breakfast options, and convenient amenities. We would gladly choose this hotel again in the future. For a well-maintained hotel with a touch of American flair, this is an excellent choice.

AustriaWow, what a characterful and historic place! We really enjoyed our stay. The views from our balcony (& big windows in the room) towards the fjord were lovely. Breakfast was very good. We can recommend the nearby cafe (also run by the hotel), where we had delicious afternoon tea/coffee and home-made cakes, and also an excellent evening meal of Thai curry! The hotel has only recently been taken over by a new owner and new staff & we wish them all the best. They were so friendly and gave us lots of helpful information about the area, and also about Norwegian life.

This was an amazing hotel experience all around, we stayed 3 nights and enjoyed every minute! Everything about this hotel gave us a very warm, homey feeling, from the vintage house and its decor, to the wonderful staff, to the 24-hour coffee in the lobby, tasty and plentiful breakfasts, and dinners in the on-site restaurant, which were terrific. We booked a room overlooking the fjord that had a spectacular view, even from the bathroom! Special mention to Vineta and Jasmine who made us feel so welcome and answered all our questions, gave us travel tips, and always seemed to genuinely want us to feel comfortable and cared for. Also to Laila, the manager of the restaurant, who was so friendly and took time to help us with the menu and tell us about local foods. We totally recommend staying at the Vangsgaarden Gjestgiveri and really hope to make it back there one day!!

Very friendly staff and extremely charming place with a view to die for! For me, this is one of those places that are a bit outdated (with clean but basic rooms, abysmal beds and paper walls) and can hardly compete with big hotel chains but overall, it felt like a charming, personal B & B instead of a hotel and that is what makes it so memorable and special!

Aurland is a quiet town with a well-stocked grocery and an excellent bakery. It is not a port of call for the huge Sognefjord cruise ships, so it is not overrun by tourists multiple times a day. By car, the town is 20 minutes from Flåm, 35 minutes from Lærdal via the Lærdalstunnelen (the world's longest road tunnel, at almost 25km), and 2.5 hours from Bergen.
A refueling station is located just south of town, off the E-16 roundabout. It offers reasonable prices for electric vehicle charging and petrol/diesel fuel. And, it serves the best homemade soup in the area!

We had booked the Norway in a Nutshell route from Oslo to Bergen and our friends had recommended we break up the journey and stay the night in Gudvangen and I am so glad we did! It was the most beautiful town right in the heart of a fjord - the views were breathtaking and as not many people stayed the night like we did, we felt like we had the place to ourselves. We didn't stay long enough to participate in any of the activities offered the next morning (kayaking, hiking or a visit to the viking museum) but I don't think you need to stay any longer than two nights. I highly recommend that you stay at least one night in Gudvangen if you are travelling through it

A quiet village nestled at the head of a beautiful fiord with towering mountains all around. Excellent facilities including a bakery, grocery store, Mall of Norway and several restaurants, plus fast food outlets. Mini cruises available to nearby attractions, kayaks for hire and lakeside saunas. The most notable attraction is the world famous Flam Railway which climbs to almost 3000 feet a.s.l. up to Myrdal, where it connects to the Oslo to Bergen line.

Its a place which has lots of amazing things to do, every corner has a picture perfect view. In the beginning you might feel that 2-3 days are enough but I think you at least need 5 days. Good place to stay, we went to flam and Odda. Going and coming back from Odda was little bit hectic because it was raining heavily, the roads are very small, there are some places where there is only one lane, no two vehicles will fit. so be careful at such road.
The nature is amazing, flam station has good food stall, I guess all major street foods.
