Excellent at everything!!! I can not express all the details how great this hotel is. Most enjoyable place ever stayed at.
The grounds were lovely. We wished our room was in the original building, rather than the addition with entrance from the back. The dining area was spectacular and the morning breakfast divine. The presentation was lovely and assortment of sweets and savories was brilliant. We wanted to stay and sit in the dining area for the rest of the day.
The stepson who checked us in was the only downside of our stay at Walaker. He was officious, abrupt, discourteous to our driver/guide and made a big deal about serving us dinner.
Also, the speaker after dinner barely covered the history of Walaker and the family but seemed very impressed with himself and his humor was sometimes off.
What a pleasant surprise, would love to come back
the owner has taken care of every detail ,
the property is charming, tidy , has upscale food and the service is excellent
Thank you Wallaker family for a beautiful experience

We thought our stay at Walker Hotel was exceptional. The hotel was very charming. We loved the history, the decor, the first rate staff who went way way way out of their way to make sure all their guests had a fantastic visit. The food was fabulous. Loved the gardens, the waterfront, the boat ride across to the Stave Church and hike to waterfalls. Our room was cozy and had a nice view. It couldn't have been better. If you are touring the fjords this place is a must! We hated to leave and it was a highlight of our trip to Norway!
Awesome place with great staff and an excellent location for exploring the Sognefjord area....Chef Pavol and the staff do an incredible job at Dinner and breakfast. We loved it and hope to return.
The hotel is quiet and beautiful. The property and the surrounding area is wonderful for wandering. The restaurant prix fixe dinner was spectacular! Wish we had more time there!
A very special experience. The dinner was better than some that I’ve had in Michelin starred restaurants. And after dinner, the owner shared the history of the hotel, which was very interesting. Room was clean, well appointed and quiet.
Room charming. Staff very helpful and friendly. Both breakfast and dinner were superb. Had many pleasant walks. Ferry to the ancient church across the parking lot. And what a beautiful garden for afternoon tea.
Vi hadde et perfekt opphold. Perfeksjonisme i alle ledd fra vi kom til vi dro. Ikke et eneste irritasjonsmoment. Knallbra mat, og ikke minst en svært kunnskapsrik eier som holdt en interessant og humoristisk historietime. Kan anbefales på det varmeste fra kravstor gjest.
