Hjelle Holiday Rentals

"We (myself, husband and toddler) stayed for 3 nights in late May 2025. It was a last minute booking for an impromptu trip to Norway. We had no issues with late check in or late check out. The view and setting of this place are 12/10; the pics speak the truth! It is situated ~23 min from Stryn and ~60min from Geiranger. It was an excellent home base. The grounds are well kept. We stayed in the old historic building. It was a bit tight to leave the suitcases open and walk around in The Wilhelmina suite. The balcony had an amazing view. There was a mini fridge. No safe (no hotels on our trip had a safe). The springwater bathtub and heated bathroom floors were a nice touch. The bathroom curtains were shorter than the window and also sheer. Given that a small portion of the view includes a parking lot and the cafe, we did improvise by putting decorative cushions on the window sill for our comfort. The host was the most helpful person we have come across on a trip; he helped us make plans for all 3 days and they worked out for us. He helped us with alternative plans when it rained. We were going to run out of clean clothes and he was able to arrange laundry for us for a neglible fee. The breakfast was on par with similarly reviewed hotels in W Norway. Breakfast is held in a large food hall with views of the lake and mountains. They had toys my toddler loved. It is a beautiful family run place away from the crowds and with lots of character. Definitely a must stay! "

"It was a magical experience, truly a hidden gem! We have explored a ton of Norway on this trip but our short time at Hotel Videseter was a highlight. Great food, friendly staff and breathtaking views. Highly recommended."

"I loved the view, the food and the staff was very nice too! You can walk 5 min up to a beautiful viewpoint. 45min down through a cute hike to geiranger. Easy accessible parking. "

"A nice hotel. Friendly staff. Stayed one night on our 10 day touring holiday. Easy walk into town centre where there was nice choice of bars & restaurants. Some room upgrading on and nearing completion but did not affect our stay.(May2025) Our room was done and was nice & comfortable. Free parking. Good breakfast. "

"This hotel was adorable. The balconies from our rooms looked right out across a fjord. The beds were comfortable, it was quiet (except the lapping of the waves!) and there were lots of choices for breakfast. It isn’t a fancy hotel, but it was lovely."

"Idyllic setting. Our unit was very quaint, but updated with stylish furnishings. Everything was clean and welcoming, including the lovely deck at lakeside. We loved it all. "

"We had a great stay. The proprietor, Ian, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and its history. If you are looking for an authentic, local experience, this is your place. "

"Nice views and balcony. Very walkable. Hotel is a little outdated. We were told there was free parking at time of booking and then when we got there was told that changed and was now about $50/day usd. Staff was very friendly and they accommodated us with a baby crib! "

"Amazing hotel! "
