Stord Beach Resorts from RM834

"This is a unique property that is somewhere between a hotel, B&B, and hostel. I found it very peaceful with a beautiful view off of the balcony on the second floor. The staff were great...very friendly and helpful. This hotel also has the best food in the area and a great chef. Seriously, I tried them all. Don't waste your time, just eat at the hotel...where many locals do as well and hang around for a nice drink in the back room, which is very cozy. As for setting expectations, the rooms are as advertised and small on US standards with somewhat thin walls, but are clean and the beds were comfortable. Also, as advertised, there are shared bathrooms similar to a hostel, but I did not find it off putting, clean, and fit well with the historic nature of the inn. What I liked best. I mentioned to the staff that I had planned an early departure for a hike and would miss breakfast. They saw to it a box was set out for me prior to a 4:30 AM departure with a wonderful meal packed so that I got my money's worth and didn't go hungry on my 27km hike that day. That brings me to the area...absolutely stunning beauty in every direction. The hotel is a great option to base yourself from if you are looking to explore and hike the fjords and glacier. You can also head out on a boat, fish, or just do a nice half hour walk past a majestic waterfall and old palace. I also found the town had everything I needed within 100 meters to include grocery store and outdoor adventure store."
