What guests think

At Brakanes Hotel, guests consistently praise the dramatic fjordfront setting and views, while feedback about the rooms and bathrooms skews older and in need of updates, with some maintenance issues and occasional odors noted across different stays.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, and the fjordside hot tub is enjoyed, though it carries an extra fee. Dinner quality impresses several reviewers, but breakfast can be understocked or limited, and the menu, including vegetarian options, may feel restricted or pricey. Overall, expect warm service, older accommodations, and dining that ranges from excellent dinners to lackluster breakfasts.

L’hôtel a une très belle vue. Le jacuzzi (avec supplément) donnant sur le fjord est bien agréable. Par contre, la literie était inconfortable car le matelas était très mou.

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

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.

Rooms

Many rooms have striking fjord views with generally comfortable, sometimes spacious layouts, but decor and bathrooms feel dated; practical quirks include shower-over-bath setups, in-room steps, and some rooms lacking a fridge.
