Charming, old fashioned, and full of character. The view was spectacular and it was very peaceful when the coaches left. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Complementary tea and coffee for guests in the lounge, which you can take outside to enjoy the view and fresh air. Well worth getting a room looking over the gorge. We slept with the curtains open to soak it all in. Really lovely buffet dinner and breakfast. So glad we stopped off for a night on our Norway in a nutshell tour - otherwise it would have just been a 15minute stop.

Nothing! But we did avoid downstairs and outside when the coaches arrived (but they were quickly gone again).

Nature is divine. The gauge, the mountain tops, a short walk to the waterfalls and a collection of wooden cottages a stone’s throw from the main entrance. The food at the restaurant was tasty and the atmosphere was pleasant.

The receptionist was rather indifferent and lacking enthusiasm. I was rather surprised how little she seemed to be willing to make us feel comfortable or make our experience unforgettable. I would say it was so uncharacteristic of Norway.

This might be one of the most special places I’ve ever stayed. Though not fancy, it is comfortable and clean, and invites guests to embrace the reason for travel - experiencing intense beauty and spending time with friends, new and old. Sitting in the lounge, watching the rain fall on the valley while enjoying a glass of wine was a highlight of the trip for me. Additionally, the staff were so impossibly helpful and kind, we hated to leave them!

The location of this hotel was fantastic with beautiful views from the terrace and many of the rooms. The staff was pleasant and breakfast was good. There are a few hikes that can be done right from the property but it is also a good jumping off spot for day trips.

This hotel could use a little updating. Also, the price point seems a bit high for the condition of the hotel/amenities but you are paying for the view/location. This is a stop for several tour buses. The buses take up most of the parking lot (we were lucky to squeeze into the last spot each day) and depending on the day/timing there may be a large group of people milling around.

Such a beautiful place with fascinating mountains views. A true historical hotel with the museum in the building, old fashioned facilities. The feeling you are a traveler of the past century. Restaurant-grade breakfasts. Calm place (in the evening).

Low soundproof (you will definitelly hear your neighbours), small rooms, almost not equiped (literally the only electrical thing you will have is the lamp). Can be loud in the morning (im guessing only in high season) because of many touristic groups who are checking out early, all at once, clattering suitcases to the sound of bus engines parked under the windows. But. It's all worth the experience and those breathtaking views. Just be prepared that this is not an ordinary hotel.

Superb location with scenic splendor and a good restaurant. Convenient to fjord towns of Gudvagen and Flåm. Quaint interior decorated with art pieces and objects balances an otherwise dullish exterior and older vibe. The rooms are comfortable and if you are on the valley side of the building the views are spectacular. It can be a bit hectic during the day as it seems to be a location for tour buses to pull up for a quick in and out photo op.

As we were driving up the drive i knew this would be such an exceptional place to stay! Our room was so quaint and the view was amazing!! We ate in the restaurant, i had the smorgasbord and my husband had the pasta with salmon, so delicious. When we woke up i immediately jumped out of bed o went outsiders to take pictures. The little sheep bells and the adventure i had the morning taking pictures was breathtaking and i will never forget it. I felt like a child exploring! And the breakfast was exceptional too! What lovely memories were made at the Stalheim lodge!

The Stalheim Hotel is in an exceptionally beautiful location, hign the hills in fjord country. Our room had a stunningly good view up the valley and was clean and perfect for us. The meals were exceptionally good, both breakfast and dinner. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Hiking in the area is delightful.The historical maps, furniture and artifacts in the common area are quite interesting. This is a wonderful place to stay or to have a destination event like a wedding.

Stalheim have been welcoming travellers for almost 400 years, as a hotel for 130 years & in its present offering for 63 years. Towards the end of the 1980’s Conde Nast Magazine rated it one of the Top 12 destinations in the World; it still is. Step inside its doors and enter a world I thought once lost. Sit with a coffee, pause, let the ‘Stalheim’ wrap its arms around you, enfold you. Relax and breathe with its rhythm. You have come HOME. If you seek perfection in material things, move on. This is not the George V. The Stalheim Hotel offers far greater quality. Timeless. Little thing matter. Feel the quality of the weighted cord on the bedside light! Ignore the occasional chip in the enamel bath. This is a proper bath. You step into it and your back is perfectly supported unlike so many modern offerings. I read 384 pages last night. The best bathing for 20 years. Like all the truly Great Hotels their real assets are their staff. A blend of generations to ensure the ethos is maintained. It is in safe hands. Whether mixing a cocktail, preparing the bedroom for your arrival or Alex on the front desk to welcome you out of the rain, whilst organising an afternoon tea for 40 off a coach tour. It is as seamless as a Swan on the water. My life has been enriched by staying just one night of my Norwegian adventure in the ‘Stalheim’. In case I had not mentioned it; the view down the Naeroy Valley is to die for …

Nothing

The view was just breathtaking. Probably the best one in the whole Norway trip. I think we made 400 pictures just of the view. Just when we came, there was a rainbow and it made everything even more surreal. The breakfast was very good and the room was very spacious. Our room was towards the mountains and the waterfalls so we were just absolutely amazed.

It was a bit high price but when you drink coffee with the view they have... you just don't care about how much you paid anymore. :) The bed was a bit too soft and the staff was very "closed". But it was a high end hotel so for people who are looking for something super professional, it is perfect.
