Good hotel in Ulvik

Brakanes is a lovely, genteel hotel with beautiful views of the fjords. I’d have given it the toprating but for the very limited and expensive dinner menu and the fact that you had to pay extra for the hot tub.

The hotel lobby and restaurant have a charming view (water front), but the room facilities feels renovation needed, such as only one clothes hook inside the bathroom was loosened, water flowed allover after shower, toilet roll was hard to reached (80cm away)…etc. Overall, the price-performance ratio is not high enough

We arrived at breakfast at 9.30 - after recommending from the receptionist (earlier would be a hassle due to many people). But all basic food were missing (bread, eggs, cheese, croissants, fruit, etc) it was very difficult to get anything and the waiters were busy cleaning up.
