Läget, personalens trevliga bemötande, möjlighet att låna både bastu och båt kostnadsfritt
Hade kunnat vara lite mer valmöjligheter på frukosten ex. gröt, pannkakor, äggröra men god frukost i övrigt

L’emplacement au bord du fjord
Le calme
La cérémonie de clôture des JO de Paris au moment de notre séjour 😉
Une carte de restaurant chère
Chambre dans l’annexe de l’hôtel plus rustique que le bâtiment historique/principal.
Une offre un restaurant quasi inexistante dans un rayon de 15km.

Prachtige ligging. Familiale sfeer. Eigenaars. Historisch karakter. Natuur. Dit is een hotel uit de duizend.
We hadden het Motel geboekt omdat we veronderstelden (op basis van de foto's) dat daar de grootste kamerruimte was. Dat was een verkeerde inschatting van ons. Hou ermee rekening dat het motel echt wel kleine ruimtes heeft en vooral niet veel aflegvlak. We hadden gehoopt van hier onze bagage te herorganiseren (dit was zo halverwege onze reis), maar dat was een verkeerde inschatting. Is dat je doel, dan ga je best voor de kamers in het hotel zelf. Dit hotel was ons aanbevolen door voorgangers op basis van de maaltijden. Ook dat is intussen gewijzigd. Hou er ook mee rekening dat dit systeem veranderd is en er met buffetformule wordt gewerkt. Dit buffet is gewoon OK, maar duur voor wat het is.

الفندق جميل جداً مع اطلالة ساحرة على البحيرة والجبل. الموظفين ودودين للغاية ويقدمون المساعدة خاصاً السيد لوريس، لقد ساعدنا في الوصول الى الفندق وكان لطيفاً جداً.
الغرف مريحة و نظيفة و دافئة. المكان جميل بشكل استثنائي. الفطور كان لذيذاً و متنوعاً. المشروبات الساخنة متوفرة لساعات كثيرة.
لا شيء.

Buena ubicacion, trato cordial.
Camas algo duras y la cena es extremadamente cara y, aunque tenia buen sabor, en ABSOLUTAMENTE NINGUN CASO correspondia con la calidad, cantidad y servicio que se dio en la cena. La estancia para 2 personas era, en el momento de alojarnos, alrededor de 140-150 euros (70-75 por persona). La cena vale 570 nok (55-60 eur dependiendo del valor de las nok en ese momento). Te meten presion y te envian varios mensajes invitandote a reservar la cena. ¿Y la cena te cuesta casi lo mismo que una noche en el hotel? Cenamos un supuesto bufet libre que constaba unicamente de 3 platos y ensalada, no habia mucha variedad para elegir, ni siquiera 5 platos. Bebida no incluida, excepto el agua, que es siempre gratis en los restaurantes en noruega, por cierto. Pues salio la broma a que la estancia en el hotel nos costase el doble. Muy decepcionante, y lo peor es que ni te mencionan el precio al invitarte a reservar ni te lo escriben en el folleto de bienvenida (donde pone los horarios del hotel etc.) cosa que te hace subestimar el precio ya que pasar la noche tiene un precio decente para noruega. Nos deja una mala experiencia en un lugar tan bonito como Hjelle.

Location was fabulous, lovely properly and grounds. A proper hotel with lovely owner hosts and excellent customer service. Lovely dining room with very nice food
Our room was a bit small but very nice

Neben der wunderschönen Lage des Hotels hat uns besonders gefallen, dass man dem Hotel sein Alter von ca. 120 Jahren einerseits anmerkt (Flair), andererseits nicht auf den Komfort verzichten muß (Innenausstattung des Zimmers war teilweise von IKEA, aber bequem).
Familie Hjelle führt das Hotel mit sehr viel Herzblut, das merkt man sofort.
Dss Frühstück am Morgen (Buffet) war für uns gut
Das Buffet am Abend lohnt sich, wenn man mit richig viel Hunger kommt und sich auch gerne abends nochmal 'den Bauch vollschlägt'.
(wir haben es aus preislichen Gründen aber nur einmal genutzt, da es für den Preis zu schade ist, wenn man sich nicht 'richtig satt ißt" - was wir abends ungern machen.)
Sehr ruhige Gegend, da nur kleiner Ort (Hjelle). Auch das Zimmer war sehr ruhig.
Die Wanderung zum Wasserfall sollte man gemacht haben - für gehbehinderte Personen aber nicht zum empfehlen, da 2-3 Passagen gibt, wo es rel. steil bergauf und bergab geht.
- dass sich einen Abend 7 Elstern im benachbarten Baum für ca. 30 Minuten sehr 'gezankt' haben - ;-)
Es hat uns nichts ausgemacht, dass es keinen Aufzug zum Zimmer im 1. Stock gab, das sollte man aber vor Buchung berücksichtigen. Ggf. ist dann der Aufenthalt im zum Hotelkomplex gehördenden 'Motel'-Bereich empfehlenswerter, da die Lage identisch schön ist und auch die Annehmlichkeiten des Hotels mit genutzt werden können.

The staff were very helpful and kind.
Breakfast was ok.

The location was amazing! Staff is very friendly. They have a lot of options for outdoor activities, including a rowing boat (that you can take out for free). If you want to hike, the owners will offer you recommendations on the best routes around the hotel and further.
Room had a sitting area and was comfortable (despite the beds being a bit soft for our liking).
Dinner was quite expensive but delicious.
The angle of shower was a bit awkward. Toilet was a bit loose.

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.

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.

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.

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.
