Stordal Hotels

"Simply put, Union Øye is the finest hotel myself and my fiancé have ever stayed at. The mountains, fjords, and broader landscape surrounding the hotel is singular in its majesty and beauty, and provides unequalled opportunities for exploration and adventure. For us, this included kayaking along Norangsfjorden and Hjørundfjorden, cold plunging in the fjord followed by a session in the glass-walled sauna on the dock overlooking the fjord, running / hiking in the mountains, and more. The hotel building was authentically historic and stunningly beautiful, with its historicity wonderfully captured in the decor, paintings and pictures, individually designed rooms, and the 10pm storytelling each night by a member of the staff telling the story of the hotel since its founding in 1891. The food was exquisite and over the course of four days we truly looked forward to each meal. In the interim between meals, we would talk often about how good the last one was. Above all else, the staff are utterly exceptional. We have never experienced better. Each member of staff was unbelievably warm, kind, friendly and helpful. It truly felt like you were being welcomed as a guest into a family's home, rather than just a hotel. The level of effort each member of the staff put in to proactively making our stay as exceptional and as special an experience as possible was truly something to behold. It was a true joy to spend time arou them. We were engaged here and plan to come back many times."

"Staying at the Grand Hotel was a privilege, it is a wonderful hotel with warm, kind and friendly staff. The rooms are well appointed with a smart TV, very comfortable beds and a Nespresso machine! The tap water tastes so clean and fresh here. There is daily housekeeping which was respectfully and conveniently timed and done well. The bedroom and ensuite shower room were perfectly clean throughout our stay. The windows open, and the radiator heat is adjustable, for those like us that are sensitive to heat or cold and we slept so well here compared to other stops on our trip. There was a little noise with the window open on a Friday and Saturday night with people returning home from nights out, but it didn't last long and didn't bother us. There was also a miscommunication about food services available on a Sunday (the info in the lift wasn't updated) but we were sent on the right path to get a wonderful pizza a short walk away so it was all fine and we couldn't be happier with our time spent here. We will be back in Spring!"

"Nice and clean rooms. Good location, right next to the ocean and close to all amnesties "

"No restaurant on site Bar without a bartender"

"The views from the hotel were spectacular. Pleasant staff. Parking is limited. When we got to the hotel in the afternoon we managed to find a spot but once we got back after dinner in town we had to park on the road. There was free tea and coffee in the lounge which was a lovely touch. We stayed one night wish we could’ve stayed longer. Highly recommended "

"Owner was great in making us breakfast the night before, that we put in our room refrigerator, to accommodate our needing to leave before the scheduled breakfast time. "

"It has chargers for electric cars. The room was nice."

"The front desk personnel was friendly and helpful. The room was nice. The bed was comfortable. There was a small refrigerator. The bathroom and shower were totally tiled, which was nice. The shower had a curtain instead of the typical glass doors which we liked better. It was great that both breakfast and dinner were offered. Breakfast was good both days with good options and variety. Dinner one night was thin soup and bread which was not satisfying. The hotel was across the street from a grocery store which was nice."
