Hotels with bar in Ulvik

Ulvik was a repositioning stop for us from Flam to the dinner at IRIS/Salmon eye, so we didn't expect much from the small town nor the hotel. But it turned out to be a surprise to the upside, compared to Flam Fretheim or Bergen Opus XVI hotel. We booked a premium room with Fjord view and what a view that embraced us upon entering the room. The hardinger Fjord with imposing cliffs and narrow pathway is one lawn away from our eyes. Our room was on 3rd floor and both balcony doors open out to the balcony with simple furnishing for an outdoor drink or dinner. The room has a light Nordic touch, light blue and light birch with mustard color very comfortable lounge chairs. Instead of the heavy or period decor, this furnishing style makes the room look airy, spacious and chic. Kudos to the taste. There is a decorative fireplace that adds a period touch but with a contemporary flare. The heating panel actually worked here. The town was small with very limited food options other than the hotel itself or a Cafe next door, but that aside a walk along the river to watch how evening light and cloud moved around the seeing sun was extremely satisfying. The calm water makes incredible reflection of the world above. The view couldn't be better. The following day when we got to Rosendal to board Salmon Eye, our hotel room had frontal Fjord View as well but the cliff drop wasn't as dramatic as Brakanes view. Glad we took many pictures we did. Other than that, the service was efficient and friendly, breakfast was good but not elaborate. No espresso machine in the room but there is one in the lobby and there is a tea kettle in the room. All in, amazing view, chic room and all beyond our expectations.

The hotel is the best hotel we have ever stayed in in the Norwegian Fjords, with large rooms and balcony views. There is free parking. There are few big hotels around, there are some homestays, there are few commercial facilities, and it is not convenient to buy food. You can buy them at the gas station store before you go. The environment is very quiet and there are very few people around at night. Breakfast is good, you should order a meal, otherwise you should eat instant noodles. It is also convenient to bring children, there is a triple room, a small bed in the small single room, there is no door.
