Urke 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."

"We were lucky to have perfect weather at the end of September. No rain and all the views/hikes were amazing. It’s a place for people that likes the outdoors and calm of a remote place. "

"The breakfast is very good with a variety of food options. The hotel manager was fantastic - very helpful and friendly"

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

"Lots of space for 2 couples to spread out and enjoy the spectacular view. Remote and quiet location. House has two levels and a nice balcony off the 2nd floor. Hot tub and sauna were wonderful!"

"Lovely and romantic"

"We stayed the week in Urke for hiking and kayaking, we LOVED the cottage, it was beautifully designed, spacious living spaces and the full length balcony was perfect for soaking in the most incredible view of the fjord. "

"This hotel was comfortable, and whilst it has a spartan feel to it, it’s clean and pleasant. The best value hotel in this area, I enjoyed my stay here."
