"Nice and clean hotel – but a very disappointing dinner"
Ingrid Aspen S, 24 Août 2026

We stayed at Kinsarvik Fjordhotel for a weekend. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. We had breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday. The breakfast itself was good with a decent selection, but the buffet was not replenished very efficiently. The bacon ran out quickly, and it took quite a while before more was brought out. When it was finally refilled, only a small amount was added and it disappeared again almost immediately. They also ran out of orange juice. Overall, though, the breakfast was good. We had to book a table for dinner at the hotel restaurant and ate there on Saturday evening. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. My husband ordered the house pizza, our daughter had the burger, and I ordered the pasta bolognese. The pizza was honestly worse than a Dr. Oetker frozen pizza. My pasta was overcooked, and the bolognese sauce was bland and almost completely lacking in flavour. The burger was okay, but overall the food was nowhere near the standard we would expect from a hotel restaurant. The room and the hotel itself were perfectly fine, but the dinner was a major disappointment and unfortunately brought down our overall impression of the stay.

"We really enjoyed our stay!"
KarinArlanda, 03 Octobre 2025

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the town center with a sufficiently large parking area. Our room was small, but still very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and enjoyable. All of the staff were very friendly throughout our stay. A special thank you goes to Mario and Gro, who were extremely helpful and kind in assisting us with a billing issue. Much appreciated! Overall, a great experience

"Tranquility with the fjord view and oystercatchers"
Lucie P, 29 Août 2025

The hotel is situated right at the front of the town, overlooking the bay and we were upgraded. Our room was lovely, with a fjord view, a terrace and a kettle to make our teas and coffees. The restaurant unhesitatingly gave us some milk. The breakfast was Norwegian extensive and very good. The silence around was only broken by the occasional cry of the oystercatchers.

"Disappointed"
DadandCab, 25 Août 2024

We booked a superior room here with sea view as a bit of a treat for a single night. We were already disappointed before we arrived having been informed by email after booking that there was no TV in the room after all. If we'd booked with the express purpose of being able to watch something specific, which we sometimes do, we'd have been super annoyed with this lack of information up front. On parking, the disappointment increased as the hotel looked rather dilapidated from the outside. There's clearly work still in progress decorating and replacing worn out fixtures and fittings. Our room looked as advertised, had a comfy bed, decent bathroom and balcony with sea view but anything needing charging with a short cable had to go on the floor, something I hate, as there were no sockets near the top of the desk or bedside tables. Other small peeves were a shower curtain rather than a screen, toilet roll that couldn't be fitted in the holder and in the room there are only 2 teabags and two coffee sachets plus four sugars, no milk or creamer. It seemed just a little stingy. Breakfast was adequate, nothing more with a poor selection for the price point. Paper notices with information for guests sticky taped to the walls also didn't do much to impress. If they really are trying to upgrade and produce a superior offering, they have a way to go yet.

"Nice hotel and lovely staff"
mattmattevans, 02 Octobre 2019

A very nice hotel. So quiet. I really had a peace of mind. we checked in here with my family. We arrived late around 17:00 because of some road repairs along the way. The receptionist was just average when we arrived. Gave the keys to us and told us about the hotel policies. The room was not too fancy but it was nice. I was expecting a carpet on the room but there wasn't. But it okay, still it was a very clean and nice room. Had a couple of beers at the bar and my kids with some juices. Problem is we need to go down to the reception to order because the bar was empty. The receptionist guy during the night was kind enough to bring the drinks to us and showed my kids some magic tricks which they love it. the breakfast is fine, Typical norwegian hotel restaurants. No meat. Im a meat guy so I wasn't surprised at all when they didnt have any meats but the restaurant is very nice. Waiters were really nice too. Everyone was smiling. Thats the kind of way you want to start your day. Overall Im satisfied, Will be coming back again here!

"Terrible, don't go there !"
ManfredK820, 18 Juillet 2019

We Made a reservation for the restaurant but when we arrived and went to our table the manager interupted rude and said that hè promised the table to a large group op customers, so we had to leave Never again! But, tip the restaurant next to them is cheaper, better service and won twice titel best restaurant of Kinsarvik!

"Basic accommodation"
Lars H, 23 Juin 2018

We stayed there for a couple of nights. The hotel was clean and the food was good. The negative sides were noise from renovation work and busloads of Chinese tourists. Smoking was not allowed in the rooms, but when airing the room by openening the balcony door, you got plenty of tobacco smoke from people sitting on the balcony. Few of the employees could speak Norwegian.

Owner Response, 23 Juin 2018

Many thanks for sharing your experience at First hotel Kinsarvik this is greatly appreciated. Delighted to know you enjoyed a couple of nights with us. I am especially happy to read you found our hotel clean, as we have cleanliness as a top priority. Our restaurant Kinso has an amazing head chef. Alexander and his team work really hard to to give our guests the best culinary experience and service possible. Sincere apologies for any noise.We are in the last stages of renovating and updating our rooms, with only a couple of small jobs left in two rooms. I'm sorry to hear that this caused you some inconvenience. Our rooms with a balcony have a fantastic view of the fjord, but I can see that a downside is if the guests in and next room are smokers. We do however allow guests to smoke on the balcony. We have staff members from all over Europe in different positions keeping our hotel running smoothly. Staff in reception and and some in the restaurant speak fluent Norwegian and all staff speak English. Once again I thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us and we look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you back to kinsarvik. Kind regards Annalisa

"Good choice in Kinsarvik"
barrys913, 26 Octobre 2017

I say it's a good choice but there's not much in Kinsarvik to choose from. Easy to find, and situated right by the water - beautiful location. Single beds in the room but comfortable. Satisfactory breakfast buffet. Had a very next dinner next door at Gløyp - not cheap though!

Owner Response, 26 Octobre 2017

Dear Barry, Thank you for your nice review! We do have rooms with twinbeds and with doublebeds. You are welcome back here! Kind regards First Hotel Kinsarvik/Tanja
