Jostedal Hotel

We had a 2 night stay at the Jostedal Hotel and it was exactly what we needed. After a relatively long drive up to the area we were warmly greeted and checked in. It was busy so there was a limited food choice but the meatballs were very good - huge portion! Breakfast had a huge selection and reasonably priced (for Norway) make your own lunch option. We headed off on a kayak/glacier walk and made use of the underfloor heating to dry our very wet gloves and hats when we got back. Leila who runs the hotel was super helpful and knowledgeable. We would love to go back Located right next door to Elevepurna rafting and v close to the glacier.

Family of 5 stayed here for 2 nights. Kids are 14,12 and 11. We found it warm and clean and the food was delicious and plentiful. A huge plate of meatballs, roast pork and potatoes was appreciated after a long day hiking. Rooms were simple but comfortable and we could hear the river. Also recommend River Pigs white water rafting which operates under the hotel.

Jostedal Hotell is basically the only hotel in the area and luckily it is a very clean and pleasant place to stay. The beds were comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean, and the staff was very accommodating. My partner and I stayed here two nights for a glacier tour. It was very convenient to meet the tour guide in the hotel in the morning and then set off together for the tour. Breakfast was really tasty with a great selection of breads, fish, meats, cheeses, yogurt, muesli, and more. They also offer bags so you can pack a lunch for 750 NOK. This is helpful if you're traveling here for glacier tours or other full-day tours because there are no grocery stores or restaurants in this town (besides the hotel restaurant). My partner and I really liked the breakfast. We also really liked the dessert selection of cakes that was offered at dinner. For drivers - Note that the road leading into the town is one lane in many places so some drivers may be uncomfortable with that. It's worth it thought. Gjerde is absolutely beautiful.

Convenient location to explore the glacier/national park. Rooms are simple but very clean. The lady working was so lovely and accommodating. Everything in Norway is expensive but the food was a bit overpriced considering it was straight out of the freezer.

The hotel is ideal for the glacier kayaking and rafting trips. We stayed in two family rooms on the second floor (no elevator so need to carry the luggage up). The rooms were quite small, and the bathroom had a shower and good under-floor heating (very useful for drying wet clothing). Service was excellent. Very pretty views from the rooms. Like many Norwegian hotels, the mattresses (three of them!) were too soft. Breakfast was OK but with limited variety.
