Breakfast
The breakfast experience at Strand Fjordhotel garnered a mixed reception from its guests. Many guests appreciated the good quality and delicious taste of the breakfast with some noting it was excellent, fairly plentiful and featured very good bread. Others enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere and the exceptional views offered from the breakfast area.

However, several reviews pointed out areas needing improvement. Some guests found the breakfast to be basic, modest or very simple with limited selection and variety. There were comments about the lack of sweet accompaniments and coffee only being available from a pump jug. A recurring theme was the dissatisfaction with pre-prepared plates and the absence of a buffet with some guests feeling that it did not match the standard they expected. Issues of portion size and the quality of ingredients were also mentioned with some guests expressing that the breakfast was unsatisfactory or poor.

In summary, while Strand Fjordhotel's breakfast has its strong points, there appears to be room for enhancing variety and overall quality to meet guest expectations.

Dinner
Dinner at Strand Fjordhotel has received mixed reviews from guests with some highlighting positive experiences while others recommend caution. Among the compliments, several guests found the dinner to be excellent and tasty, particularly enjoying dishes like gratinated fish goulash with rice and salad. The food, often described as very good, did receive praise for its quality and flavor.

However, the dining experience was not universally praised. Many guests noted that the portions were small and the menu could have been more varied, especially lacking lighter and more diverse dishes. Vegetarian options particularly fell short of expectations. A recurring criticism was the high cost of meals in comparison to their perceived value with some finding the dishes bland, old-fashioned or even tasteless.

Overall, while guests can expect some well-prepared and enjoyable meals, they should also be prepared for limited menu options, smaller portions and higher prices typical of dining in Norway.

Many guests appreciated the ample space with some rooms featuring sofas, small tables and fridges. The rooms often come with terraces or balconies that provide stunning views of the fjord and mountains, enhancing the overall experience of tranquility and natural beauty. Rooms by the water are especially favored for their magnificent views and direct terrace access.

However, the hotel rooms are described as simple and somewhat outdated, occasionally requiring renovation.

While the rooms are generally clean and functional, some guests pointed out issues like insufficient towels and occasional unpleasant smells.

Overall, despite some areas needing improvement, the large, airy rooms with spectacular fjord views and comfortable beds make for a pleasant stay at Strand Fjordhotel.
