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.

Amazing views. Hotel staff was super helpful amd courteous. Rooms are clean but a little dated and bathroom was a not in the best condition but the views and convenience more then make up for that. Highly recommend.

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.
