Buffet breakfast was amazing! Views are breathtaking of the glaciers, lakes, and mountains. They offer a free boat that you can take out to the lake. Room is very clean, cute, and comfortable. Free parking is available on the site. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Lorentz is amazing, thanks for your kindness and all your help. This place has been around since 1896, and I love the preservation of the buildings and it's so aesthetically pleasing. I love that they had an toy area for kids upon entrance to the building. It's very inviting and accommodating. Laundry service is available. There's tea/coffee available at all times in the reception area. Wished I had stayed longer to enjoy more of the amenities and stay. Great location and valuable price! Thank you!

Nothing, everything was great!

We had two breakfasts and two dinners during our two night stay at Hotel Hjelle. The breakfasts offered cereal, eggs, bacon, yogurt with fruit and granola toppings, cheeses, ham, salami, pate, and salmon/other fish. There was something for everyone's palate, and everything we had was well prepared and very tasty. We had fish for dinner both nights, but there was also a dish of reindeer, which was liked by those who had it. The meals were top notch in flavor and presentation. The homemade sorbet was wonderful. Gamle Strynefjellsvegen is one of the wonderful tourist roads in Norway, and it starts about 12 km from Hotel Hjelle. We enjoyed this mountaintop old road, took lots of photos, and would recommend it to everyone during your stay at this hotel.

The beds in the annex could be more comfortable

Stunning location, lovely old hotel with lots of attention to detail. Nice breakfast and dinner.

Everything was perfect!

clean, quiet, good location but only if it is on a way to your next destination, delicious breakfast (but no pastries, no waffles or pancakes)

warning: no TV in the room! No elevator! Only small sink in the bathroom! Main building is very old (but renovated ) , overpriced hotel

one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been

there was nothing that I didn’t like

Quiet, idyllic location at the end of an exquisite mountain lake. Although the rooms were on the small side, they were thoughtfully laid out with sufficient electrical outlets, places to hand things, and a good-sized bathroom.

We had dinner at the hotel. It was good but not up to the standard of other places in Norway we have stayed.

Best location ever

available

bathroom size

the room was in a small cabin close to the river

bathroom really small

Definitely worth staying due to the beautiful scenic view.

The views here were stunning. By far the prettiest hotel we stayed in Norway. The staff were incredible. They even helped us inflate a flat car tire with their air pressure machine. The rooms were clean and cozy, and breakfast amazing! I would absolutely recommend a stay here.

The breakfast were excellent!

we loved the family run nature of this historic lodging. The location with beautiful, scenic views with very close to the water. we wish we had planned for more time there and in Hjelle. we had a nice breakfast included, and good homemade dinner that we paid extra for.

Little room for clothes or personals — due to historic nature of building.

A beautiful old style Hotel located in the most stunning picturesque setting. We were based outside the main hotel in a separate building. Clean and comfortable with views of the mountains and lake. The grounds of the Hotel are spacious with a lovely lakeside walk to be had. All staff we came across were friendly and helpful. Breakfast there was plenty of choice for both of us. If ever in the area again would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the economy rooms, and loved them. The best part was the view, and the easy access to the parking lot was a bonus. The location is right on the lake, so it’s very beautiful, and they provide a row boat free of charge. It’s also about a 45 min. drive to Lovatnet Lake. They provide a sauna free of charge, and allow you to book an hour to yourself. Highly recommend. Overall this place is great, and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Location, room, breakfast. All was more than expected.

The best hotel of our 14 night stay in Norway. Good price. Staff very friendly and helpful. The man who runs it is wonderful. The magazine place, the surroundings of the hotel are amazing and breathtaking - especially the views of the beautiful blue lake and huge mountains. The included breakfast is brutal. Highly recommended.
