Brakanes hotel is a fairly good representative of the infamous Norwegian ugly hotel architecture. If you stay in the hotel, the hotel itself won't spoil the view of the stunning surroundings. The food is more than average. But if you love English roast pork and puddings, this is the place for you. Staff is really friendly, polite and helpful. Rooms... More

I was here with a colleague in november. We arrived late and called the hotel and asked when the kitchen closed. The woman working the reception took the time to prepare something from that evening dinner for us since the kitchen was already closed, excellent service! The room was good, clean and had a comfortable bed. The view when I... More

We asked for an older "renovated" room overlooking the fjord. The Pros: The postcard perfect view. The 2 cosy chairs we could sit and watch the view from. The small balcony we could sit and do the same. The room was of an adequate size and we didn't feel cramped. It was clean. The staff all were friendly and very... More

The hotel itself is nothing special. Not extremely tidy, not extremely cosy, not extremely stylish. Dinner is extremely expansive (as it is everywhere in Norway) and not very high-quality. Rooms were a bit grey - Best thing on the rooms was the variety in TV-channels. But the location, next to the spectacular lake with a view on the 'Fjords', makes... More

If you're in Ulvik, this is the hotel to stay in, as far as location goes--it has a nice lawn that goes down to the water, with a couple of terraces (one outdoor and one glassed-in) that are very nice places to relax. Definitely spring for the fjord-view room, it's a beautiful view and otherwise you'll be looking at the... More

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of an independent touring holiday. The setting and views down the fjiord were wonderful. For relaxing indoors there were lots of varied places with comfortable seating as well as some chairs outside. The staff were pleasant and friendly, including a competent but not intrusive pianist in the bar area. The room had a... More

My experience was something I never had before at a Hotel. I've stayed here for a couple of days now and I never felt so welcome before. They are redoing the interior right now but they work only nights and are very quiet. They make me and my colleague feel like home. the view is simply stunning and the town... More
