Our family stayed at the Aak Hotel for 3 nights upon recommendation from a Norwegian friend. To me…read moreit's more like a bed and breakfast because there are only 16 rooms and a wonderful breakfast is included (see photos) with homemade bread, homemade preserves, eggs with chives, camembert with nuts and honey, salmon, proscuitto, and (my daughter's favorite!): reindeer sausage! The new owners and staff provided service as excellent as the facility, room, and food! In fact, the food was so good that a Russian billionaire came for lunch one of the days we were there (but we were hiking so we didn't see him). We felt truly cared for by all the staff. Even the cleaning ladies were smiling and helpful, giving our kids a few extra pieces of candy. The view is fantastic, and we loved the fire pit outside with the picnic tables and the stream running in the back yard (you can take a dip if you're brave!) Hosts are warm, friendly and helpful. Location is not in town so you probably need a car or can take a bus that stops at the hotel. Very convenient to the Trollstigen. Definitely recommend this place for hotel or dinner.

Beautifully situated small family-hotell very close to Trollstigen in beautiful Åndalsnes!…read more Super-friendly great staff greating us when we all arrived (tired wet bikers). A wonderful dinner was prepared by a young and cute chef! Great indian pale ale, and lovely red wine to go with the dinner! Simple but practical rooms. Good beds and a great shower! Breakfast was gourgeous! Home made bread and individual servings of scrambled eggs/salmon/preserves/etc. Truly a gem in Norway!

Yes...this is the hotel that was used for many of the indoor scenes in the movie Ex Machina,…read moreand...yes...the location near Valldal, Norway is every bit as stunning and tranquil as you would expect. This hotel has been as carefully thought out as Swiss watch. The rooms (cabins really) are functional and austere in a way that is uniquely Scandinavian, and they've been integrated into the landscape in such a way that every room has a breathtaking view. Furniture is minimal but so comfy that a day spent with a good book, pausing for occasional glances at the mountains and river, is as pleasant as a hike up those same mountain sides. But beyond the impression you get from the movie and the photos, you'll also find an owner eager to make each guest's stay special, astoundingly good food (which you'll really appreciate if, like us, you stay at the Juvet during the off-season when not much else is open), the wonderful company of the other guests, and...well...Norway!

I thought the landscape around the Juvet hotel was stunning. The view from our room was so…read moremesmerizing. I do want to say the cleanliness of our room and our sons room was not great. Hair, dust and just not very clean. It needs vacuuming, dusting... just a thorough cleaning. When we arrived I noticed in a review to ask for a robe so you can put it on over your suit when you go to spa. We arrived late in afternoon and I asked for a robe. Did not get one. The man who met us when we arrived told us where we were staying and I was anxious to see rooms. After seeing rooms I went back and asked again for a robe and the man seemed a little impatient but gave me 2 robes (one for me and my husband). Went to spa ... cover on hot tub. The sauna (steam room) was not turned on. I did not see any switch to turn it on. My son went back to find the man who greeted us. He wasn't happy about having to come to spa (according to my son). The man went to an electrical room and got it to work. My husband took off cover of hot tub and there were dead insects floating on top of water. Our 2 sons joined my husband and myself for dinner. One of my sons had a business call in the U.S . to attend to. He was 10 minutes late to dinner. The man who greeted us when we arrived at Juvet pointed to his watch and tapped it when my son walked in. This did not make my son feel good. The 1st course had just then been placed on the table. My son ate very little and left. He felt like he had been scolded and was looking forward to a relaxing stay but thus far after the spa experience and now being scolded for being 10 min. Late spoiled any relaxation. Juvet is not an inexpensive place to stay. I expect a clean and nice room and if there is a hot tub and steam room that it is operating, clean and no effort on my part to look for someone to help so we can use it. I don't think I'll make the effort or spend my money to stay there again but the view was beautiful and view from room beautiful. It's too bad it isn't operated like it could be.
